Mind Your Soul

I’ve come to realize, whenever you stop trying to be the best you you can possibly be, a silent evil begins to drag your soul in a direction it wishes not to go. Then, you inevitably become the worst you you’ve ever been. A you that feels good at the heart of crowds but not so much in silence. Maybe some of us have the misconception that life isn’t about struggle, maybe somebody lied to us along the lines and offered that life is supposed to be a saunter, maybe we bought into that too easily.

Most of our lives are synonymous with grief, pain, hardships, heartbreaks, struggle and rocks. These insidious realities and more begin to habour our ugliness and confusion whenever we turn a blind eye to them. The reality is that our lives equate to a BUNCH of ugliness embellished with a FEW joys here and there. The trick is to lend enough time to these pains, as much as they deserve, nothing more nothing less. I think when you continue to dwell on this pain it then becomes surplus and no longer has a purpose.

So promise yourself that you won’t give too much of yourself to things that don’t deserve it. Promise to feel everything that comes your way with all your heart, to give it the time it deserves, nothing more, nothing less. Tell me how much more beautiful your life becomes.

Love for that heart of yours

Light for that spirit of yours

Freedom for that soul of yours
