To whom,
must we speak,
wisely,
words giving form to our dreams?
Knowing well
to protect the beauty of our visions
from those who cannot see
and would wish not for their fruition,
preferring we settle for mediocrity -
should our success be a mirror
to their shortcomings & untapped potential,
forcing them to confront where they have failed
to live up to their own ideals...
Accepting truth,
in that many may care not
to see us shine in our fully glory
and revel in the fruits of our self-investment,
for such is bound to reveal
where others have repressed their own light,
misdirected their energies, and abused their soul's promise -
would we reach our peaks,
inevitable it will be,
not all share our enthusiasm,
but withdraw into a cycle
of jealousy, judgement, envy, & contempt -
bitter at the unfavorable results in their own lives...
Aware
more may be against our grand triumph than for it,
who then,
shall we choose to gift the energy of our goals,
humbly expressing our hearts' desires,
certain our listeners' belief will fuel their fulfillment?
Knowing well,
to see our hopes be realized,
we require the synergy of a team
holding conviction in their power to uplift
and benefit the world through the flow of their wealth -
should our spirits' deepest wants be attained,
bringing us the joy of having contributed
our human life value to the planet's prosperity,
we be joined in our journey
by those whose confidence overrules all doubt,
driving the motion of our enterprises' development,
with alignment in purpose, passion, & action...
Accepting truth,
in which only through a union of beings,
may the force be harnessed
to birth our intentions in the material world -
that while alone,
our hopes remain mere fantasy in thought,
free to fade with distracted focus & doubt;
yet in community,
our imaginings are the seeds of inspiration -
resistance but the counter-force
essential to their strength's development -
together,
building upon the relationships
sustaining each others' expansion,
we discover the keys to abundance...
Uttering words of our aspirations,
into them,
life may be breathed;
or out of,
may their breath be expelled...
For what purpose do our goals we speak -
out of confidence,
empowering others with vision
to expand their sense of possibilities,
igniting imaginations with excitement;
or from ego,
attempting to bolster our self-esteem
with the strutting of an ambition for status,
subtly seeking approval,
inflating our sense of importance?
How pure are our intentions -
goals constructed & conveyed
with a tainting of selfishness;
or blossoming & expressed from spirit,
coming solely from the space of service?
To the degree focus remains on us,
we block the flow -
our attachments obstructing allowance
of that we desire to create;
each sentence spoken,
perpetuating ego's endurance,
dreams restricted to the mind's realm...
Though,
through evolution of our consciousness,
we mature -
abandoning our ego-based wants,
surrendering to the higher good,
of which we are becoming a channel,
through which its nature may be known,
its essence felt -
accessing the power to excel in leadership
and to see our visions realized...
Having discovered our best -
with the yearning to be of greatest value -
who,
now,
do we invest in our dreams with?
Understanding communication
as the means our future will be built with,
here,
we get clear...
Speaking with those who doubt,
their words of discouragement shall infect,
the continued propagation of which,
bombarding our minds,
causing the destruction of our potential's crystallization;
while,
conversing in the company of those
whose support of our loftiest goals -
their encouragement a strong wind on our backs,
keeping our spirits lifted -
we find the reflection of our greatness,
inspired as we inspire;
motivated as we motivate;
together,
achieving more,
learning accelerated,
growing stronger,
our dialogues constructing the frameworks
for the structures conceived in our thought,
co-creating our visions...
Not all we'd have so eager to stand behind us,
we can trust...
It being often those in our closest circles
we are required to leave
to arrive...
Venture far from home,
most must,
to seek the mentors & partners
necessary for the coming
of the desired results
on our entrepreneurial paths...
New friends made,
bring many smiles -
confiding in the experienced & ambitious
sharing our desires,
we are forming the bonds
bridging our ideas into networks
where our value can be developed & employed
in the service of our collective visions' actualization...
Goodbye,
we must say,
to many from our past
having served our growth,
yet become restrictive
to who we are becoming...
Entering new territory,
we are wise to choose guides
knowledgeable in the art of wealth creation;
assuring the integrity of those we walk with,
our struggles are lessened,
leaving behind those whose characters are questionable,
and whose negative emotional weight
have burdened our psyches -
leaving us free to explore
these new realms of possibilities
with open eyes & minds,
and the lightness of heart,
through which our spirit may whisper guidance...
Should that voice of wisdom
be not drowned in the opinions of others
out of touch with their own souls,
let us guard ourselves from the nay-sayers,
setting boundaries in which
the seeds of our visions may blossom...
Let us take to heart
only the advice of those who believe we can,
welcoming the knowledge of those on their divine path -
for no man in harmony with his own self
shall interfere in the affairs of another,
though blessing each along their course;
while,
he who be insistent upon condemning others
remains isolated from himself,
disconnected from that which can only bring fulfillment...
Therefore,
may we be one with the force
behind the progression of our dreams into form,
our choice be to be of communities
committed to the excellence of all;
wishing the best
to those whom we must speak not to,
lest our energies be exhausted
defending our minds from the insecurities
having kept the masses at the gates of disempowerment...
To our bright future,
we give precedence -
releasing attachment to the bonds
with those whose fear of change bounds,
and whose criticism confines;
setting forth with companions
true to themselves,
the articulation of our highest ambitions
falling upon ears receptive to passionate expression of brilliance,
mirroring back advocative affirmations
arising from the heart,
we find ourselves supported
in the relationship,
wisely,
we choose...
