Life by John/Learning/Knowledge/Wisdom/Learning From Life/Understanding Life/Self-Awareness


 Life

 

What are we all, but energy in motion,

at times, perhaps, aimless and lost.

However, fired with determination,

we can reach any destination.

I have two self-help stories available exclusively on

 hope that you find them interesting, thought-
provoking, and, most of all, enjoyable: -
 
This simply written short story is aimed at those who
 seek to understand themselves, and through
 understanding themselves comes a greater
 understanding of life.

Much has been written about Jesus, and no matter your
 view on religion or Christianity, this person, whether he
 was as described in the bible or not, has singularly
 shaped, to a greater or lesser extent, the lives we lead
 today through his wisdom. There are many versions of
 the story, but there is only one truth, and is it not
 better to know the truth?

To Be Non-Judgemental by John/Meditation/Peace/Harmony/Understanding/Compassion/Self-Awareness


To Be Non- Judgemental


Nobody ever seems to get it right,
but thankfully I have great oversight.
It doesn’t endear me to those I help,
for they often groan and give a yelp!
If only they could see what I see,
that perfection is always lacking to me.
Though to be content is what I truly desire,
not to be consumed by self-righteous fire.

Trust by John/Parenthood/Grandparents/Siblings/Friendship/Love/Loyalty/Hope/Self-Awareness


 Trust

 

With eyes of trust,

they look at me.

I wonder often

who is it they see?

 

Do they know at times,

I am filled with doubt?

So much so that often,

I want to scream and shout!

 

The price to be paid,

to be that special one.

Bears not thinking about,

because I will not cut and run.

 

The reward is in the love,

even if only from a single one.

That loving light, the smile,

that eclipses any sun!

 

John

Inner Peace and Harmony by John/Serenity/Understanding/Compassion/Self-Believe/Self-Awareness


 

Inner Peace and Harmony

 

Despite life’s apparent need

to grind and test,

by overwhelming and cowing,

as it tries its best,

to reduce me to a dribbling,

gibbering wreck,

feeling as if my head

will explode from my neck.

My inner peace and harmony 

are scrupulously tested,

but with constant practice, 

they are never bested!

 

John


Wouldn't it be nice to say goodbye to being on edge, feeling irritable,

frustrated, stressed and bad-tempered?

When was the last time you had that wonderful feeling of peace?

If we allow external circumstances to 'push our buttons', then it is those

circumstances that control our life. Yet if train ourselves to feel peace,

then we are not only in control of our lives, we then start to influence and

control those external circumstances which were causing us stress before.


This subliminal meditation is here.

Thoughtful by John/Poem/Wisdom/Philosophical/Whimsy/Self-Awareness


This poem captures a moment in life, where sounds, images, senses come together to capture a unique moment in time. On reflection, each moment is unique, for they each have their own individual energy.


Thoughtful
Dark clouds in the sky
gracing the winds on high,
as the sun sinks down
over this peaceful town.
It's Sunday again and the TV's loud and boring,
it sounds just like a motorbike roaring.
The kids are out, playing in the street,
young people, agile, graceful, and fleet.
The circle of life turns, school, work, life, old age
hopefully we’ll gain wisdom and be like a sage!
Onwards we go, never seeing clearly
the mistakes we make sometimes costing us dearly
But on we go as we always must
with a smile, faith, hope, and trust.
When life feels tough and we are at temper’s length,
we dig deep and find love truly is our strength.

 The Silence

 

In the silence

of my heart and mind,

I hear clearly

an enlightened being.

Hopeful by John/Learning/Knowledge/Wisdom/Learning From Life/Understanding Life



Hopeful

 

Yesterday I was innocent.

Today I see more clearly.

Tomorrow hopefully,

I’ll understand.
