Proper Perspective

You can't reach your goals

with someone else's vision,

so it stands to reason that 

using other people's lives as

a barometer for success will

not assist you in getting what

is uniquely yours.

Comparisons serve no purpose

except to distract from your own

life and path, and thus draw crucial

energy and attention away from

doing what's necessary for you.

In order to respect my own 

path, I am present in each moment 

as the person I am intended to be.

That means seeking truth from

within, not using the world as

a yardstick of 'success.'

It Is What It Is

 

Don't get distracted by the specifics and

the minutia of negatives and dead-ends;

the world is full of people who are interested in

you not reaching your goals, either by

actively and viciously thwarting you,

or by passively and apathetically refusing

to assist or support you.

 

Let it be.

 

Resentment and anger over lack of faith,

betrayals, getting jammed up, lies,

character assassination, upset over injustice,

fighting off specific mischaracterization and libel,

and all the rest is just an ENDLESS, tiresome

game that can never be won.

 

And if you're spending your time recounting

all the shitty people of the world, you won't have

 any time left to fulfill your dreams.

 

So, keep your eyes on the prize.

Don't be distracted by the gutter trash or

present circumstance.

Don't take on the doubts of others.

Have enough faith and belief in yourself

to make up for all the world.

And keep. on. moving. forward.

No matter what.

Pain and struggle
