EVERYTHING IS IN MY FAVOR No matter the circumstances. Everyone is in my favor, and I am there for them. It's no coincidence that I have the family and friends (dependent) I need: I can give, I can inspire. What they need to learn, I know how to teach. And the strength that drives me to teach is within me. So… why not do it with love? I AM THE FOUNDATION OF PARADISE I am the only one who can make "my land" a paradise. And it starts with me. Repetition is tiring because, in fact, they are ignorant. But what to do but repeat with love until they understand? MEANWHILE, I LIVE In the midst of this passage, I can have fun. I can see the whole picture. I am my own motivation – and theirs too. And that's okay. Because I can. THE PLACE OF POWER IS MINE It's better to be in my position of power than in theirs, of ignorance. But it's not just about their ignorance. They complete me, and I complete them. Doing what I have to do, being an example, having an epic life, that's my motivation. Motivating is my motivation. I WAKE UP. THEY DON'T YET. I can motivate. They can't. I can teach them what they don't know, and I can learn from them at the same time. It's an exchange. But I'm awake during the process, while they're still asleep. A CONSCIOUS CHOICE I can live awake, or I can live like them. But, to not live like them, I need to remind myself every day what level of the ladder they are on, and what level I am on. I am part of the minority. That gives me strength. That gives me motivation to have a memorable and productive day towards my goals. I WAS ASLEEP… BUT NOW I KNOW I was asleep. Even if life has nothing before or after, being alive here, in this moment, is already worthwhile. So, if I spend my whole life without goals to achieve, without applying all the knowledge I have, what's the point of living here? FILLING TIME WITH MEANING I can wake up and have a day full of small actions, walking towards something. Even if it's just to fill the spaces in life. Just to occupy myself while I'm under this sky.
