Is to stand for something when you're here" Seth Godin, author
2015
Here is 'something' I stand for:
I work, conscientiously to deepen my understanding of sincerity, which
Insists upon my gaining insight into
Personal traits in need of personal growth
As my life long quest to know myself in depth
Heightens my sense of clarity more each day than
Had proved possible, as recently as the day before
I've become accustomed to owning up to
Personal vulnerabilities in need of strengthening
I've become accustomed to owning up to
Personal vulnerabilities in need of strengthening
Point to consider:
My pechance for sincerity doth not turn a blind eye to this fact:
Those who deny ownership of traits, which
They disparage in others, have not yet developed
The self awareness necessary to know when to sit their egos in
Time out chairs in order to muster the humility to seriously consider
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, spoken aloud
They disparage in others, have not yet developed
The self awareness necessary to know when to sit their egos in
Time out chairs in order to muster the humility to seriously consider
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, spoken aloud
Once my well practiced listening skills
Come to identify people who remain
Closed minded to 'this' and
Those who remain closed minded to 'that'
I can more readily call upon kindness to discern between
Deeper truths, which may be freely expressed aloud vs
Deeper truths, which may prove so painful to another as to be
Expressed to no one but myself
And here is why choosing to express certain thoughts, openly
While considering others in the privacy of my mind
Make sense to me, when defining sincerity:
While considering others in the privacy of my mind
Make sense to me, when defining sincerity:
My personal sense of sincerity hopes not to be hurtful, suggesting that
My quest for deeper truth doth not equate with allowing
Every emotion I feel to steam roll right over
My power of discretion at times when
Self discipline, coupled with kindness, calls upon
Compassion to serve as the filter that modulates
The floodgates of my emotional reactions so that
A tsunami-like storm of inner truths does not burst forth from
My mouth, thus blowing down another person's
Wall of denial ... I mean, who am I to expose
The false state of that person's sense of personal safety as
Being a house of cards before he or she has
Developed the courage and humility necessary to
Place blind defensiveness aside in order to
Acknowledge personal vulnerabilities hiding deep inside

As asserting my sense of self worth does not equate with
Steam rolling over another person's hot spots of insecurity
My quest to deepen my sense of sincerity
Conscientiously, guides me to consider when to bare
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth vs
When to quiet the egocentric portion of my tongue so that

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth vs
When to quiet the egocentric portion of my tongue so that
My self respecting sense of wholeness can
Make its way through each next growth spurt without
Causing injury to anyone whose blinders keep them
Stuck in a rut where running in circles dizzies their smarts
And though that makes me sad, it's not wise to
Allow the blindness of others to stop me from
Shedding my cocoon once insight offers me the clarity
To know full well that the person I've grown to be
Has worked to freed my spirit to soar sky high without

Raining on another person's parade, suggesting why, upon
Reflection, I can sincerely say that each time
Conflict resolution proves necessary, I, with
Positive focus intact, can rely upon my smarts to
Quiet the gorilla, within, and since, retrospectively, that
Fact has proved consistently true of
My strength of mindfulness in years past
My peace of mind feels free to sincerely enjoy
Every moment spent thriving in the company of
Dearly beloved family and friends ... guilt-free, presently!

(Debbie, my sweet friend
Your card is standing on my kitchen counter
And each time I see it and think of our friendship
My face lights up with a smile
After taking these past few weeks to
Rest my mind from struggling with yet another
Inner conflict (which had need to
Feel resolved before my sense of inner peace returned)
You'll be glad to know that the drapes are open
The sun is shining brightly, and
My heart overflows with kindness and joy, knowing that
All of my kids are flying in from the coast, today, in
Celebration of Ravi's first birthday party, tomorrow
And so, with eager and happy anticipation
Of enjoying a rollicking good time with family and friends
Here I am, wishing a very Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! :)
