As You Breathe

As You Breathe

As you breathe in and out,

As the heart beats,

As the earth turns,

As day turns to night

And as the days and years pass,

Grow not only in mindfulness,

But also in spirit.

Remember to love yourself

And those around you,

Remember to forgive yourself

And to forgive others for their part in your sorrows.

Through doing so

You will set yourself free,

To reach the highest levels of your own potential.

Do not limit yourself,

In the way others would limit you

Do not take “no” for an answer,

When in your heart “yes” is the path for you

To move along.

Do not let old or new fears stand in your way,

Or block you from achieving

That which you came here to achieve.

For in your achievements

Lie your growth and greater

Potential to show others

The way forward.

Through your own courage,

You give others courage

To challenge themselves.
