Bring love with you Everywhere you go And you will never Be lonely
The more time you spend thinking about how you can get other people to like you…
The less time you’ll be able to spend thinking about how you can become someone you like.
And here’s the catch-22.
The more time you spend becoming someone YOU like… the more likely other people will like you.
And the more time you spend trying to be someone who is liked… the less other people will end up liking you.
A tall blade of grass Looks down upon A sea of green blades Some bigger Some thinner Some pointed Some flat Some darker Some lighter What a shame That in a sea of green That’s what is seen
How can you say someone is beautiful If you haven’t yet Peered past the cover Of their book?
What lies between Stranger and friend Is one singular question Asked with the right intent
It’s easy to look at the current state of your life and claim it’s self-made—after the fact and when things fit together nicely.
But, none of us are self-made.
Remember each of the influences who gave you pieces to your life’s puzzle and showed you how they might fit together along the way.
You may have put piece to puzzle; but, you certainly didn’t make every single piece or do all of the thinking alone.
Honor those who helped you piece together your life and pay forward what you’ve pieced together into the lives of others.
Solving massive life puzzles is much easier when you’re not doing it alone.
