honoring your soul's purpose

practicing mindfulness aids in staying in the moment

leaving the past where it belongs

behind us

and the future to unfold naturally as it will

we have no control 

and if we let go 

and detach ourselves from the outcome

we save ourselves much unessessary pain

it's important to have goals and aspirations

to plant our seeds of intention 

but then let God and the universe take over

the old aggressive ways of setting goals

and forcing them to manifest 

in a do or die fashion is killing us

we are better off planting our seeds 

and giving it to God to manifest 

if it is in alignment with our soul's purpose

the key to happiness is 

honoring our soul's purpose

the difficulty lies in actually 

loving ourselves enough 

to unravel and get naked

to see ourselves through our own eyes

not anyone else's view of who they think we are 

or what they think we should do

it's being brave enough to stop

and just be for a while

to feel again our authentic selves

perfect souls with distinctive gifts

that when used to their peak potential

are the missing piece to the puzzle of the world

that is our first and foremost responsibility to God/ourselves and mankind

in order to be kind(love) to others we must be kind (love) ourselves

the most impact we can have on our world is to practice loving kindness

to ourselves and subsequently others

through this behavior we will find our God given gifts 

and go forth in the world and practice them
