Close your eyes,
Breathe with fresh purpose.
Find your center and set a clear intention.
If you could begin your day with an idea,
If you could hold one word in your mind,
Something to keep you buoyed and focused,
Which one would it be?
Take a deep breath and consider,
All you hope to do,
Is there a word to encompass it all?
A symbol to sum up your aim?
It might seem like an insignificant thing,
One word in a sea of potential choices,
But the power of a unifying intention can do wonders for the power of your vision.
By streamlining your objective,
You increase the chance you'll achieve it.
That one simple word shapes you into an arrow,
A bolt of lightning targeting your desire.
So take a breath and clear your mind,
Search for that special word,
Pare your desire down to its essence,
And name it for yourself.
We all know there's power in an aim,
The choice carries momentum and weight.
What do you hope to take from your efforts,
And how can you steer them that way?
Think of words you already hold dear,
The ones that stir you to action.
Create a list of aspirational choices,
And then trust your gut to decide.
Perhaps you're looking to take a stand,
To make your needs or boundaries clear,
Or maybe you want to set yourself apart,
Determined to shine.
You may have a much quieter desire to keep the world's influence out while you do your best,
To stay grounded.
You might be looking to show extra kindness,
To seek out others who may need help,
Or perhaps you're ready to have some fun,
To cut loose and make new friends.
No matter which yearning sits in your heart,
It's valid,
Necessary,
And worthy.
Give your permission to go after it,
Knowing you'll be grateful in the end.
It's a small step,
And yet so monumental.
To let a power word lead the way,
Belief begins with a single choice,
A recognition of your own priority.
Take charge of what you do today,
Stride with purpose instead of meandering through.
Set the tone with foresight and commitment,
And feel that mission to impact your soul.
Namaste.
Beautiful.
