Growing up, how many times did you
See and hear your parents or loved ones
Saying how they didn’t have enough
How little they had
How miserable they were, and
How much they suffered?
Did you feel so heavy
Like a huge weight
On your shoulder
A huge stone in your heart
Feeling so much love for them
Telling yourself that
You gotta succeed for them
While taking on all of their weight
As your own
During the process?
How much of your life have you spent
Trying to move ahead and succeed
For them and everybody else
Rather than for YOU?
Did you ever succeed or
‘It is not enough’ was part of your life
No matter how hard you worked?
How much of that life is even yours?
How much of your life have you spent
Carrying everybody else’s luggage
As your own, slowing you down
Destroying yourself for others
Believing this is you and
That is how life is supposed to be?
How much of self-destruction was
What you were taught and bought
From all those who taught you
As yours when it wasn’t?
A little, a lot or all of it?
Were you ever acknowleded
For everything you did
For everything you be
For your pure presence
To contribute to the better
Of their lives and living?
So everything you have done
To not acknowledge, to deny
To reject and dismiss
Your abundant creations
Of infinite possibilities
To contribute to the lives
Of all those who you loved,
Therefore disavowing
Your greatness and YOU
Everywhere you purchased
All those beliefs
Made them all your reality
In order to help them
When we actually can’t help anyone change it
When they don’t want to change it
When they have already decided
To choose it as their reality
And everywhere you made you wrong
For thinking and believing
You failed to help them
You were not good enough
All those things along those lines
When the truth is that they didn’t want it
Therefore they weren’t capable of receiving
The amazing gifts you had to offer them,
Everything that is,
Would you like to
Uncreate, destroy it all
And return what doesn’t belong to you
To senders please?
What if everything you have done
And everything you have created
Is abundant way more than
You are willing to give yourself credit for?
You appreciate cruelty
Because of it,
You gain your infinite abundance
Of kindness you be
You appreciate pain,
Because of it, you gain
Your infinite abundance
Of compassion you be
You appreciate anger,
Because of it, you gain
Your infinite abudance
Of inner power you be
You appreciate fear,
Because of it, you gain
Your infinite abundance
Of knowing, trust and strength you be
You appreciate grief and sorrow,
Because of it, you gain
Your infinite abundance
Of ease and joy you be
You appreciate lack of appreciation
From all those who taught you,
Because of it, you gain
Your infinite abundance of
Appreciation and acknowledgment
Of YOU and others
That you be
Because of it, you gain
Your infinite abundance
Of gratitude for God
Each and everyday
Exploding from your heart and soul
For everything God has gifted you
For the life God has gifted you
For all the life experiences you have had
And continue to have
In order to reclaim your freedom
To be all of YOU
You are on your way back
Home with YOU and God
That is how miraculous you are
You are the creator of God’s
Infinite abundance of all things
In and around you
There is always enough
There is always more than enough
There is always joy
There is always beauty
There is always abundance
Everywhere you see
No matter what the situation is
Because you choose to see YOU
Because you choose to see God
Because of your magnificent
Innate appreciation and gratitude
Beyond this world
You are born to be
You got this. One step at a time.
