Jai comes in the Morning

I hear music in the kiss and taste colors in the sound of the voice. When you are grown enough to know that what came on the breeze is now gone with the wind. One recognizes that the real deal is not as good as the representative. One just knows when it's not worth fighting for. Up in smoke and let it burn; mistakes made, another lesson learned. How quickly the tides shifts. You say to yourself, "who is this?" Clearly not the one I came to know. Sure, life gets hard this I know. Yet why is it never, man up and handle it all...instead the struggle is always the reason to stall. So rejuvenate and reassemble. Regain focus and begin to rebuild. Strong roots and a steady foundation. Remember that what one seeks, should first be sought out from within. It's amazing, how it goes from one extreme to the next, and you search, but can't find it in the text. See no one prepared you for this one. You got caught slippin and didn't see this coming. You forgot it's a game and all is fair. You forgot it was chess and to look three steps ahead. So dangerously optimistic and so hopelessly naive. So cute, how through it all you still believe. Let go not, of that positive point of view. It's not all bad. One must go through the storm, to appreciate the rainbow. One must sacrifice in order to truly rejoice in the blessings. It is balance. Necessary for survival. Selfishness, is necessary for survival. It is all about survival. Even the dyer need to be successful, the urge to procreate...all boils down to survival. It's a game, it's a war. It's as if we are all armies of millions inside ourselves and we often loose site of the warrior within. How tragic. Stand up, in the face of challenges. Make not excuses, but progress. Think not, solution but prevention. Protect your feelings, goals and ambitions at all times. Never loose sight of the ultimate goal. You'll bounce back; because the pain, you were built for it. It'll be noteworthy when it's not so regular. When spectacular, then trip. Otherwise, when turns out to be just another fling; may be a tough pill to swallow, but you'll be over it by the morning. Revel in the fact it didn't take you that long to figure it out. Fall in love and love hard. Give your all to what satisfies you. Pleasure yourself, tickle your own fancy. Wait not, for life to grant you all you yearn, rather leap and take what you wish. Work hard, work long. Work diligently at your purpose and rejoice in your inner god/goddess. Let no man take what God has given you. Let no cloud smother your flame. Life is so incredibly rewarding if you stop long enough to notice. If you take the effort to create the happiness you want. Trust in yourself. Fear not change, embrace it. It all comes back to love, it all comes back to you. There is harmony in the uproar, you just have to stop long enough to notice. Smile in the face of disappointment.

I agree, smile in the face of disappointment, rejoice when faced with adversity and praise God through the good times and the bad. The sooner we realize that that our time here on earth is not about self but about servitude, the better off we will be as individuals. Let's take the time out to remove the scales from our eyes and see life for what it truly is.
