I am told to keep to the path, but how do I know which is "the path"?
All my life I have been given a path to follow, then directed the way of keeping to that path.
Should I have a choice?
Should I not be able to uncover my own path and struggle along to discover my own way to follow it?
Keep to the path is false.
Keep to my path is true.
Be careful to never lose your individuality and conform with those who hold their chins high and true selves behind and appealing mask.
Unveil yourself; so when when another chooses to love you, they will love you and not you which has been artificially developed.
Love that is given
Only in the presence of
Others that require it
Will dwindle to nothing,
Even behind you
Without warning.
Be wary of settlement.
To sit on a bed of hay
Not realizing a pin may
Prick from beneath comfort.
Remaining in a direction
Merely laid out for you
Is inviting the needle to
Invade your future.
Love that is given
Without expecting
Return or praise
Is most pure and
Will be noticed.
So, be wary of settlement.
Decisions appear out of thin air all throughout my life, so I must be prepared to face such choices. Do not allow yourself to doubt your instinct. People are innately good, until a corrupt, external force pressures them to be otherwise. Importance of heeding advice is necessary, yet our own personal long-term desires must become rigid in our mind. Develop morals and be ready to act in any situation, at any time and with anyone.
Keep to your path.
Allow other to only allow the aid your desire and not so much to influence different direction.
Be wary of settlement. The world is ever changing, so should you be.
Give love, without expecting love in return.
Balance should always be the dream.
I think choosing to be true to yourself and identifying what is most important is crucial. And I am also constantly analyzing what kind of job I am doing with what my focus is. I have too many things I want to say in response to this...agh!! Right now I am thinking about the storybook titled "The Three Questions" by Jon Muth (I think?). It asks the questions: What is the most important thing? Who is the most important one? And one other question I can't remember now. Wow. That is awesome I can't remember it right now. And I have sweet Claire on me or else I'd go upstairs and find the book. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, love you, Jer. I think questions and not being afraid to ask them is so important.
What is your corrupt external force that pressures you? I enjoy reading your posts and I sense there is pain between the words. Love you always.
