A time to let go....

There are times when we just have to learn to let go. We may cling to something... a person, an ideal, an object... but there may come a point when you have to put faith in your Higher Power and let go. I find my self clinging often. I dig my teeth and my heels in and refuse to let go of my way. I can be a stubborn bitch if I want things my way. I cry, I yell, I argue and fight and threaten. I can be manipulative in the worst way. And I will defend my behavior as right. Because when I get in that mood, no one else could possibly know better than me. No one could possibly understand the situation better than me. And the kicker is... I may be right. But it may not be the only right thing. The other party may have a vaild point or idea. They may have an opinion that is perfectly legit. They may see a better, smarter or safer way to do things. But I get so blinded by my self rightousness, I can't see the sense in what they are saying. So my goal for myself is to learn to let go. To learn to see from someone elses point of view. To hear their thoughts with an open mind and an open heart. To learn to compromise. Because in the end I am only hurting myself and I am tired of being hurt. I need to see the fear that motivates my selfish attitudes and to walk through it. I will come out the other side a better and stronger person.

Another Day

The heart may freeze
Or it can burn
The pain will ease if
I can learn
There is no future
There is no past
I live this moment as my last
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today...

There's only yes
Only tonight
We must let go
To know what's right
No other course
No other way
No day but today...

I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal
Is just
To be...
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today...
