You can’t be everything to everyone …
You need to be everything to one: yourself.
Often times, we live our lives based on what others expect of us.
If we don’t meet their expectations we wallow in self-doubt and deprecation.
We can’t bare the pain we see in their eyes or read in their words.
Our lives are ours to live in our own way. We can never please everyone.
Yes, we can hope to be seen as who we truly are.
Unfortunately, we can only be a beacon of light guiding others to the path of kindness while healing our own wounds.
If we embrace our own journey with open eyes and travel to the places and moments that heal us, we will find greater joy for life everyday.
Every moment we savor in our lives is an immense gift of peacefulness we couldn’t see before.

When your life passes you by
until you believe that you’re no one
Every time you’re tempted to cry
make a om of your own
Take your time
Searching high and low
Try to climb every doubt every soul
Through the sky, there’s a path you know
Take your time to catch the frame of every rainbow
Free times for a lifetime
Sound of the universe
Waking the dream of the sleep
Suddenly silence
Take your time
Searching high and low
Try to climb every doubt every sorrow
Through the sky, there’s a path you know
Take your time to catch the frame of every rainbow

We all have rough edges that need to be polished off. Becoming a precious stone is much better than being ground down.
