BEING YOURSELF


We know what happens when we try to be someone
other than ourselves; we know what happens
when we follow someone ele's dreams
instead of our own;
we know what happens when we don't listen to
the still, small voice
within each of our own heart that says:
"Be yourself-or be miserable."
What happens is we die a little- or a lot
it is only in being ourselves that we come to life.
indeed, peace and goodness come
form knowing who we are much more than knowing what to do.
as to the latter: the paths are mapped out in our
very hearts-- put there by our Creator.
and when we follow our heart-- paths,
we walk with the Creator and our lives are greatly blessed.
