A poem about finding confidence to be who you choose to be.
You always have a choice
About who you want to be
Come from love
or be lost in fear
What will it be
Stoke your frustration
Agree with your past
Be right
Or choose to let go
Step aside
reveal the true fight
With the greatest love and wisdom
Here you are
Doing your best
There is no right or wrong
Life is not a test
Who do you choose to be
What can you glean
Silence the noise
Listen within and
from values and purpose
consciously create what you mean
You are your creator
you’re in the making
Lean in
Be kind
It’s yours for the taking
Choice is your ally
Practice is the process
Review, reject, rewire
Dust off your filters
Sidestep the drama
Choose your words wisely
Retire your judgement
Identify facts
Let your feelings be felt
Review, reject, reset,
Trust who you are
Slow down,
breath
You are not what you do
You get to choose
Smile, dawdle, ponder
Accept the glory of you
A new way to think
Takes time
Be kind
Refine
Practice compassion
Open your heart
Embrace a new truth
You are loveable, valuable and okay
Choose it
because you can
Let go of the fear and
make love your stand.

I initially wrote this as a reminder for my clients. They loved it so much they suggested I share it more widely.
