Without accepting the fact that everything changes,
we cannot find perfect composure.
But unfortunately,
although it is true,
it is difficult for us to accept it.
Because we cannot accept
the truth of transience,
we suffer. 4
If nothing ever changed,
there'd be no butterflies. 5

If you spend your whole life complaining,
you will look back on your life and complain
that you never appreciated anything.
If you spend your life appreciating everything,
you will always have something to look forward to. 3

Sometimes you meet someone inspirational.
They move you beyond anything,
and you are left in awe
thinking that person is so strong
and just complete.
They know themselves,
their passions,
and
they push way beyond their limits.
In fact, do they have any at all?
They work so hard,
and their strength
plows them right through to exhaustion,
and they keep pushing.
Pull yourself back
on the path you need to be on,
gamble a little,
put trust in fate,
but know that your heart will lead you.
Have the strength
to push down those barriers;
how did they ever get there?
and why?
yet. . . .
did they ever really exist to begin with?
Dear one,
no matter what the turmoil,
determination
will give you the strength
to push past those invisible walls.
if you choose. . . . 1

Go beyond your feelings
Go beyond what you see
Go beyond to what you believe
Go beyond to what seems to be your destiny
Keep moving toward what is yours
Go beyond those so-called closed doors
Go beyond the words of deceit
Words used to cause defeat
Go beyond others opinions of you
Don't let them dictate what you can do
Go beyond the nay-sayers
Be your own believer
Believe in you
Believe in what God
Has created you to do
Know within you are abilities:
abilities that will cause you to be an achiever.
That is why you must be a believer
A believer in yourself
Go beyond others’ thoughts of you
Learn to believe in yourself
and to yourself be true
For your life is
dependent on
you
What you believe
and what you do
Therefore
go
always believing in You 2
