I have everything I need
God has given it to me
In abundance.
I want for nothing.
Yet, I have still been unhappy
Plagued by petty worries
And by what I deem to be important
But none of it isn’t, really
Not in the big scheme of things
What we cannot change
Situations
Circumstances
Current concerns
Nightmares
Sleepless Nights
Fears and insecurities
Trappings
We should accept them all
And not fight them, at all
Because everything changes
It’s the nature of the world
I have felt trapped in the past
But realised
Those times were actually the happiest in my life
But I didn’t see it.
Couldn’t
Wouldn’t
Some people say
No rest for the wicked
I say,
No rest for the blessed.
So much to be grateful for.
If we would only look
Take away the veil
From our eyes
And see
Hindsight is twenty twenty
But all we can do
Is learn from our mistakes.
When the grass is mowed right down
That’s when you will see the flower buds.
When the night is obtuse
That’s when you will see
The light transparent.
Sometimes,
When you feel trauma
You’re closest to peace.
Or realisation
To the fact
That it is time
To start appreciating yourself
And look at what you actually have.
As opposed to what you want
Or think you need.
Find the Lion’s Courage
That you didn’t know you had.
We don’t know what we have
Until we no longer have it.
So be mindful
And vividly imagine losing all that you have now
Absolutely everything, imagine.
So that you will be so grateful for what you do have.
If you think nothing good happens to you
Look in the detail
In the small things
The small things are what you ultimately need
And appreciating them will make the small things big
Not just in these dark times
But in all times
Never lose sight of your gratitude
And for all the wonderful things
That have happened to you
And are happening to you
And will happen to you
For there will be many
Among the chaos of life.
May Your Cup Overfloweth.
