Some people waste life living on the edge of the land of dreams
tolerating the nightmare
living in a world they feel
life isn't fair.
Believing they were born unlucky
and blaming it all on fate
hoping one day their life will change
and hoping that day will not come too late.
Watching things happen and wondering how
they keep waiting and wishing for things to come
for things they could have
if only they used more of their time doing what needs to be done.
Some people waste life suffering
from the worst affliction known to affect human kind
which is not a physical disorder
but a negative state of mind.
Living in the past
regretting what could have been
instead of taking the necessary action
to realise their dreams.
Some people live life knowing today is yesterday's tomorrow
and tomorrow today will be no more
that's the way it has always been
and will be forever more.
Knowing time doesn't wait no matter who we are
they want to do as much as can be done
they are always starting new things
without completing what they have already begun.
Mistaking activity for achievement and actions for questions
they keep busy doing what they can
and wondering why they still feel frustrated and disillusioned
not realising they are missing the context that comes from a clear life plan.
Some people live life with passion
knowing why they are here
they have dreams, they have goals
they have reasons to care.
They know their life purpose
what they value and believe
they have reasons for action
and desire to achieve.
They have a life plan
they know what they want
they know what they can do
and they know what as yet, they can't.
When they don't know how to do it
they are not afraid to ask
they know they can do it
when they are committed to the task.
They have reasons for learning
reasons for living
for increasing their wisdom and their capacity to love
and for pursuing their zenith through unconditional giving.
Some people live life believing they are born winners
naturally endowed with potential to achieve all they desire
they have ended the trance to transcend limitations of prior ties
and are experiencing feelings that lift their spirit progressively higher.
They take full responsibility for their life, their actions, their results
what they give and what they get
what they had, what they have
and what they don't have as yet.
They don't use the past as a hammock
or as a convenient excuse
they know they can shape their future
however they choose.
They have the personal power
to fulfil their potential
the persistence to overcome resistance
and achieve all they consider worthwhile and essential.
Their commitment to progressive realisation of worthwhile goals
pulls them through when the going gets tough
and keep them going
through the ups and downs, the smooth and the rough.
Their odyssey of discovery and growth
and pursuit of personal satisfaction
is underpinned by integrity, confidence and clarity
and fuelled by burning desire, positive expectations and massive action.
Some people are shaping the world
and making it a progressively better place
better for them, their children and the children of the world
better for everyone whatever their colour, creed or race.
Some people are making their contribution
through the ripple effect of the life improvement game
helping improve the lives of people around them
and by inspiring them to do the same.
Some people are searching for the elusive balance
of happiness, health, wisdom and wealth
some people have found it
by living their life for a purpose greater than themselves.
Some people are making the world a better place
by being who they are and by doing what they do
what about you?
what do you want to be? what are you going to do?
