The Soul and the Ego (Poem)

She is insecure.

Although on the outside,

She’s the life of the party,

That everyone loves.

An outgoing personality, 

Attractive and provocative,

She stops at nothing, 

And can get any guy she wants.

However, 

Inside she feels,

Afraid and Uneasy, 

So she puts on an act, 

To avoid revealing herself.

Hiding beneath true feelings, 

In an attempt to portray herself,

Normally among the rest.

She is afraid,

To acknowledge him,

To admit she admires him.

For he doesn’t seem her type,

So she puts on a disguise,

And puts on a show,

Because what matters to her most,

Is her ego, and not her soul.

Although on the outside,

She appears to be happy,

Inside she feels empty and lonely,

Fickle and relentless,

Always trying to avoid, 

The negative chatter and her voice.

So she puts him on hold,

Because what matters to her most is her ego,

And not her soul.

Be Moved by Compassion Not Anger

If you knew an individual was in despair, and you knew everything you said to this person would be detrimental for his well-being and safety, how careful would you be? How do you know the person you encounter is not in despair? Your rejection and mistreatment can be one of the many things that causes him to give up on life. Therefore, think before acting, and be moved by compassion, not judgment or anger. Danny G.

True Meaning of Unwavering Faith

What is unwavering faith? Is it never doubting? Is it never feeling fear? Is it always being steadfast in the face of adversity or opposition? We know that’s not the case, as there are many faithful individuals who achieved great things, yet they still felt fearful when they faced adversities or opposition. 

Some of the greatest masters that lived on this planet felt doubt and fear, and they weren’t always steadfast, but they prospered in the end. They prospered because they persevered despite their doubts or fears and they didn’t let the doubts or fears consume them. They kept their vision in front of them and they kept on declaring their victory despite their uncertainties. 

Courage or bravery is not the absence of doubts or fears, it’s persevering despite doubts, or fears.  It’s affirming and speaking about the desired outcome despite everything pointing us in the opposite direction. It’s taking bold action steps regardless of the discomfort we feel. 

We’re human beings and it’s completely normal to feel doubt and fear, the only time it becomes a problem is when we give in. If you feel doubtful, fearful, or insecure, and you give in by constantly speaking about your doubts, fears or insecurities, you lost the battle and you move towards whatever you’re thinking about or speaking about. 

When you’re tempted to give in, affirm and speak the opposite of your negative thoughts and declare what you want to attract in your life. Speak the opposite of your negative feelings even if you don’t feel it at first, sooner or later you will begin to receive it in your being, hence, you will attract it in your life. 

The law works to our advantage because if we continue to think and speak negatively, we will become depressed and we will feel inadequate. The law works as a reminder to get us back on course so we don’t live in fear or pessimism. 

Can you imagine a world where people would get what they want despite them never believing in themselves and despite them being pessimistic and fearful about everything? Even if they get what they want, they wouldn’t be happy, and there would be no point in achieving anything. What good is there in achieving our goals and dreams, if we feel inadequate and ungrateful about our achievements, and life. 

Every great teacher that ever lived will say the same, “the true definition of unwavering faith is not the absence of fears and doubts, it’s persevering and it’s focusing on the solution rather than the adversity or opposition.” 

If you’re feeling fearful and you can’t shake it off, just know you haven’t lost the battle yet. Start focusing on your desired result, and keep on declaring your end result despite fears or doubts. 

When you’re steadfast and you persevere despite fears or opposition, you’re one step closer to see your dream or goal come to fruition.

A Simple Life Process (Poem)

Though we reunite on special days and occasions.

Laughing and catching up on old days.

Some born, some pass away, 

To another world watching over us, every day.

Though we cannot fathom the very day,

Where one will part away, 

To another world, 

And leave our place.

It is this day and age, 

We must accept,

The rules that were set,

When we entered this world.

Body dies but the soul remains.

And what remains is memories, 

That we hold so deep,

Deep in our heart,

Deep in our soul, 

As we rock our child,

And reminisce the joys,

A new treasure,

And the old one dies.

A simple life process of life and death,

Choices and love,

Intuition and failure,

They all lead back to the way,

The destiny and the journey, 

Above all.

Though the process may seem difficult, 

And hard to bear.

And in our mind we cannot find, 

The logic, of loss and grief. 

We’re all on a journey,

Of undiscovered potential.

Some simply forget, 

Then leave this planet before.

Wasted energy,

As we fret the why’s.

And the so called memories, 

That make us cry.

We don’t understand death,

We all return home,

On another journey,

In another world.

A part of us remains,

In this world with our loves.

And another in a dimension, 

That never ends.

We’re all misfits in another sense,

Trying to make sense of this world,

Without end.

But as we are on the front lines,

Living our life,

Making the best,

Of the treachery and zeal.

Lessons are learned, and remembered,

In this chaotic world, 

Of dread or fulfillment.

Perception is grappling, for our attention,

To win its previous,

Lying scheme. 

But doesn’t win,

As we lay the grounds,

And choose the latter,

And not the dread.

The pen is in our hand, 

In this undiscovered land,

Of hope, faith and love.

Of undiscovered potential we have,

A world of greed,

A world of generosity and deeds.

Though the choice is ours, 

When we remain stagnant, 

We wake up asleep, and forget the dream. 

Though the choice is ours, 

To our awakening, 

Let’s choose life,

And wake up at eighty,

With dreams never shattered,

And lives never wasted.

Only fulfillment, 

And love that stays.

Let’s not forget, 

The reason for our arrival, 

And the reason for our departure, 

When we’re old and wrinkly,

And we shall say, 

Let’s die in peace,

Our mission is fulfilled.

Being the Optimist

Everything we say and do has an impact on people and humanity, so my question is, would you rather be the optimistic person who makes a positive difference in the world? Or would you rather be the pessimistic person who prejudges, and deceives people? Danny G.

For Every Journey There Are Obstacles (Poem)

Out of depression and sadness,

Came a desire for peace and happiness.

Out of sickness came a desire for wellness.

Out of judgment came a desire for respect.

Out of challenges and adversities,

Came a desire for victory.

Out of all these obstacles, desires were born,

And without desire, there’s nothing to reach.

And without adversities,

There is no triumph.

And without it all,

There is no journey.

Karma and Interconnection

Don’t prejudge others or the world will mirror back your preconceptions. We’re all interconnected, so what you do for others, you do for yourself. Therefore, do good unto others, so that they may do good unto you. Danny G.

Letting Peace be the Empire

There’s no right or wrong decision, as life is a learning game to discover ourselves and experience the world through all forms of expressions. The only wrong choice would be not learning from our mistakes and repeating the same mistakes again and again. 

However, actions have pros and cons, benefits and consequences. When we don’t consider the benefits and consequences of our choices, we act on impulse and we end up with a life we don’t want and many troubles. 

Impulse doesn’t consider the benefits in the decision, it only seeks to satisfy this present moment. Impulse doesn’t foresee the consequences, it only seeks to satisfy this present moment. 

When we live carefree, not paying any attention to our choices, years down the road or perhaps sooner, we end up with a life we don’t want. When we assess our options, and we choose what resonates with our inner self and not merely our senses, we feel inner peace and joy.

If we let inner peace and joy guide us to our ideal choices, we will not be disappointed. What other guidance do we have that we can depend on? Have you ever had a choice to make and the logical choice just didn’t feel right? You had two options and one choice made complete logical sense, but you felt uneasy about it. The other option didn’t make logical sense, however, you felt peace about it. How many times do we choose the logical or expected choice given the circumstances, and we end up regretting it? Then we say I should have went with my gut.

There’s a reason why all the masters say,  let peace be your empire, and if you don’t feel peace about it, don’t act on it. Same applies if you feel peace about your decision but it doesn’t seem logical, act on it. 

How many great achievers were told not to pursue their passion and to give up, and they were constantly reminded they didn’t have what it takes. How many great achievers faced all types of adversities and failure, yet they prospered in the end. They prospered because they believed in themselves and they knew they could do it. If they would have given up because of failure, criticism or adversities, they would have never fulfilled their dream. 

The criticism and obstacles didn’t keep them down, as they listened to their inner guidance and wisdom. They chose the path that brought them joy despite everyone telling them it wasn’t logical or worthwhile. 

Most people have their own expectations of logic and conformity for your life. They try to push their beliefs and expectations on you because in their mind, the choice or dream doesn’t seem plausible. Out of compassion, they want what’s best for you, so they try to persuade you. They think they have your best interest at heart, however, only you know what’s best for you. 

You know what brings joy, inner peace, and happiness. You know what you’re passionate about. You know what feels right and what doesn’t. Choose what brings inner peace and joy, don’t conform to others’ expectations of you. 

The best approach for decision making is to contemplate our actions and let peace be our empire. It’s by trusting our inner guidance and knowing peace will not lead us off course.

Disguise and Creation (Poem)

Your eyes are glimmering astray, 

Your smile is faintly portrayed.

Perhaps you don’t realize,

The glim in your eye,

Because you’re so preoccupied, 

On your illusionary world inside.

Whenever you enter into the world,

You play aloof and you act like a troop.

You never deal with the hidden,

Mistaken belief and truth.

Past is dead and gone,

No need to recollect all the wrongs.

Everyone has a history, 

No need to recollect all the falls.

Identity is of your choosing, 

Not from another who doesn’t know you.

Perception can always change,

When you look up and acknowledge today.

Allow the world to change you,

But don’t allow it to break you.

Get out of your head and relate to,

Contrast and appeal.

The paintbrush is in your hand,

To paint colourfully on the mountain,

And to catapult you to daylight.

Contrasting experience and appearance,  

Humanity stirs within you a dream,

And molds within you your leap.

Outside your comfort and frailty,

Where reality constantly changes,

In a world of contrast and breakthrough, 

Of unfulfilled dreams and awakening.

Let the stream guide your awakening,

Flow downstream, and not upstream. 

 Don’t allow the past to break you,

Too much weight in your carry-on, 

Results in unsteadiness and wavering.

Live in the present, not resentment.

Create your calling and respect.

Power within always resides,

In the God up above, by your side.

Everyone Has A Story

Everyone has a reason for who they are today, as we all have a story that brought us to this present moment. The good and the bad shapes us into the person we are meant to become. Everything works together for our good as the triumph and adversities mold us into the essence of who we are and who we are to become. Danny G.
