be more
when others are less,
find the best version of yourself -
the one that lives
beyond the mirror -
your expectations for yourself
cannot be topped by another;
be the best version of yourself
in the moments that are hardest,
prepare to be better
when the next challenge comes;
trust yourself,
be yourself
always

Wrestling Change
change is everywhere,
we wrestle it
as though we might win,
halting its progress;
we do not fight the seasons,
though we may not
like their shifts,
we understand
their inevitability
lies beyond our control,
we flow with them;
so too we must flow
within our lives,
adapt to all
that moves around us,
seek out opportunities
to grow;
this is not new,
take a moment
to look within,
discover the subtle shifts
that have taken place
over time:
see the wisdom
change has brought
understanding this
go into the world
