“You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.”
-Winston Churchill
…
Get clear on your values
What matters most to you?
And are those things reflected
In what you say and do?
…
Choices indicate
Your top priorities
Make sure those things get picked first
They’ve earned seniority
…
Don’t throw stones at all that barks
Most of it’s for naught
So many pointless issues
That clutter up your thoughts
…
Know what’s most important then
Pursue persistently
Know your values, then go after
Them relentlessly
😀

Navigate emotions
Sort out how you feel
Process your experience (it can
Be a way to heal)

Not easy, can be painful
I’ve felt it all too clear
When they’re fragile, tender
Like shame, regret, or fear

Not saying they should dictate (every)
Aspect of your life
Still, feelings unresolved
Can cause internal strife

Untangle and unpack them
What’s their genesis?
Knowing where they came from can be
To your benefit

Navigate emotions (don’t just)
Put them on the shelf
Process your experience
Understand yourself

“Know thyself”
-Socrates

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
-Exodus 20:3
…
When hobbies turn to idols
When passions turn to gods
What’s gone wrong in the system?
What paradigm is flawed?
…
There’s no inherent evil (in the)
Things that I pursue
But when obsession overtakes
Priorities get skewed
…
Stay vigilant, be careful
There’s poison by degrees
The subtlest seduction (leads to)
Hell so carefully
…
The Lord has promised this:
(and I know the words are true)
Seek Him first, then all else will be
Added unto you
😀
