Reflection is best recorded
To see where I’ve been
To gain clarity on where I want to go
Most times I only remember the good times
Other times I get engulfed in the loss
Patterns reveal themselves
When I see the images
When I read the words
When I feel the memories
And remind myself of lessons learned
Where do I want to go now?
I want to move towards freedom – laughter – joy – movement
And, Yes, this is possible while remaining grounded in the world around me
I was reminded today:
Choose what you say yes to, because it means saying no to something else
Why would I choose to say yes to a future I don’t want
If it means saying no or delaying the future that I do want?
When I look in the mirror
I want to see my present self
Projecting the future that I so desire.

So difficult, turning down the available and expedient in favor of a (we hope) better future thing. This poem reminds me of my eternal struggle with focus and specialization vs. going with what’s going on at present.

Gotta keep our eye on the ball! Surely there will be lessons learned either way, if only to be a test and remind us of our true goal in the end.
