AOM Meditations: 100219

~*~

I do not define myself 

by how many roadblocks have appeared on my path.

I define myself 

by the courage I’ve found to forge new roads.

I do not define myself 

by how many disappointments I’ve faced.

I define myself 

by the forgiveness and faith I’ve found to start again.

I do not define myself 

by how long a relationship lasted.

I define myself 

by how much I have loved, and am willing to love again.

I do not define myself 

by how many times I’ve been knocked down.

I define myself 

by how many times I’ve struggled to my feet.

I am not my pain.

I am not my past.

I am that which has emerged from the fire.

Add some good to the world today

let us go out of our way

To help at least one person today
