Know Thy Self

Be wise and be aware that all of us have a limited stint
Time holds every man in equal measure and similar scent
The moments tick and your decisions will determine your final impact
Being alert and conscious will help one sooner absorb the essence of the actual fact

You can’t aim to do everything in life nor aim to forever satisfy all your clan
You need to make hard choices that differentiates the true measure of man
You need to commit yourself to actions that may not always follow a steady plan
You need not get tied down by past or dive in the future but do a thorough current scan

You may not be able to connect with the mind and heart of every man that you meet
You may not be able to influence every other soul for which you need not skip a heart beat
You may make efforts to forgive and forget old relationships conflicts of the near and distant past
You need not lose sleep if others do not reciprocate but be aware that this situation will not ever last

You may never know many events in the life of those who you consider near and close
You may get occasionally surprised on hearing secrets that may strike you nasty blows
You may like to be open and transparent in all your communication in line with Nature’s flow
You need to demonstrate patience and integrity with people who have intent but no results to show

You may never know what the next moment will resemble or how your new day will unfold
You may never know the new location of your residence or work where you finally strike gold
You may never know the maximum amount of time that you are left with to share with near and old
You can be committed in your approach to reflect warmth rather than come across as selfish and cold

You are the final authority who truly knows your deepest desires more than any other soul
You can seek inputs of others without any obligation to be bound as you work on your goal
You may encounter blocks and minefields as you align your energies with the intent of striking pole
You need to remember that the so-called valued diamond is also just a derived product from coal

You may face multiple distractions as you go about trying to find your own right way
You may encounter difficult forces in your environment that may have an unhealthy sway
You may have to cope up with situations and differently minded opposition members in the fray
You need to learn to stay calm and composed and when in difficulty have faith and continue to pray

You can learn from the experiences of those who have lived their lives before you
You can benefit from the experiences of those who share a common destiny with you
You can aim to leave behind pieces of wisdom that may benefit those who will follow you
You need to remember to avoid closing your eyes and walking on a path without any sense of clue!
