What If

What if instead of complaining, comparing, putting ourselves down

We lifted our spirit and gave thanks for all we’ve got and all we’ve done

What if instead of counting ways to criticize ourselves and finding reasons 

for why we aren’t good enough, we’d consider appreciating and celebrating

who we are and who we are becoming?

What if instead of reciting limiting belief such as, 

“I’m too old, I'm not smart enough, I’m not educated, I’m afraid to fail,” 

We’d detoxify our spirit offering ourselves a dosage of courage, hope and love?

What if instead of hiding in darkness we could walk out into the light

feeling happy about things we’ve done or things we’ve tried to do 

especially when we know when doing them we’ve done our best 

What if instead of blame and shame we’d embrace a new belief

that we are always whole and worthy of love and that our best,

as imperfect as it may sometimes be, is actually good enough

What if we could set ourselves free of "if, when and maybe then"  

what decisions might we be making right now? 

What plan, what spontaneous action or interaction would we allow?

Dream another dream and take steps with confidence and pride

Realize your time is now and that you’ve only just begun

You are the “Godseed,” the same “Godseed’ that is in a blade of grass

caught between cracks of a concrete sidewalk 

That tiny blade of grass that is strongly pulling itself through to the sunlight

You can remain young or you can grow old and die  

You can choose action, interaction and make your dreams happen

You can honor yourself and love who you are

You can realize once and for all, you are the one you’ve been waiting for 

Your time and your day is now, awaken to yourself, awaken to YOU!
