Have you ever
Had the moments
Where you regretted
The choices you made
Beating yourself up
With the thoughts like
‘How could I be so stupid?
What did I do wrong?
What is wrong with me?
I shouldn’t have made that mistake
I could have done more
I didn’t do enough’
All the thoughts and feelings
Along those lines
For thinking that
They were wrong choices
When things didn’t turn out
The way you expected?
Does that sound familiar?
How much of your life
Have you spent judging yourself
As the wrongness of you
For all the decisions and choices
You have made
That were perceived
As wrong?
What if none of that is true?
How much of ‘I did something wrong’,
‘Therefore, I gotta be punished’
Or ‘I gotta punish myself for it’
Is the lie that you picked up
And thought it was yours
When it actually belonged to
Everybody else who taught you?
What if you have done nothing wrong
Your entire life since you were born
On this planet Earth?
What if all the choices
That you have made
That were perceived
As wrong or bad
Have been pointing you
To the right direction
Of remembering more of YOU
Of choosing more of YOU
Of being more of YOU
Of growing more of your soul
To be Home and One
With God within
Whole and complete
At any given moment
Whenever you choose to?
What if all those choices
Have been exactly
What you needed
To get to wherever you are
To learn whatever you need to learn
To grow whatever you need to grow
At your own pace and timing?
What if the ultimate purpose
Of all those choices
Is to serve you
To learn and choose
Over and over again
Your kindness to you
Your lovingness to you
Your caring for you
Your total clarity about YOU
Your total God’s truth
Your total freedom
Your infinite expansion
Your infinite lightness
Without the need of guilt
Without the need of blame
Without the need of shame
Without the need of self-punishment?
Would you like to know that
You are way more capable of
Doing and being that for you
Than you are willing to
Give yourself credit for?
Because you are that Source of love
And that Source of love is YOU
What if that is your greatest strength
As God’s brightest light
Way more than the sun
Of your journey
Of coming Home
With YOU
With your choice
Of your self-awareness
Of gentleness and tenderness
Of your heart and soul
For YOU
One moment at a time
One thought at a time
One choice at a time
You got this. One step at a time.
