You go by day by day
Month by month
Year by year
Waiting and hoping for your life to change
Meanwhile
The days go by
The months go by
And the years go by
Until we realise
Our life cannot change while we stay the same
Becoming who you want to be
Requires moving on from who you've been
You will only reach your next level by letting go of where you are
You will only go as far as you allow your imagination to take you
Whenever we think we've considered and gone over everything it will take to achieve our goals, dreams, ambitions and desires
We must go over our list again
And add patience
The one missing ingredient to a recipe for success
Is often just simply patience
We must stop looking at success as a distant stranger
Instead
A nearby friend who is patiently awaiting our arrival
Follow your heart and your instinct
They know you better than you think
I realised I didn't like the world as it was presented to me
So I'm taking the parts I do like
Adding some of my own making
And creating a whole new one
Seeing not what is
But what could be
And creating it
Too often we die from the opinions of people whom we'll never meet
Often being strong is not in how long we can hold on to things
But in how easily we can let them go
Many of us spend our lives searching for happiness
In everything but an altered state of mind
The only place where it is truly found
Some find happiness
Many make their own
Don't give up
Keep going
Often the ones who leave while laughing at you
Come back later asking for your advice
I wish you the strength to pick up all of your broken pieces
And the patience to put yourself back together again
I used to wish people the best
Now I wish them peace of mind
There's nothing better to have than that
There's a time to move swiftly
And a time to stand still
Knowing which to do and when is everything
You are born exceptionally unique
And unlike anyone else
There will never ever be another human being who is wired exactly like you
We are all amazingly very different
There has never before in history been anyone just like you
And there will be none to come after
So don't try to blend in
Stand out
You are a one of one
Always be yourself
And have faith in you
Know your worth
And the value of your abilities
Know who you are
And who you're not
It's time to push yourself
To the next level

From my album, A Patchwork Remedy for A Broken Melody.
