I choose affection and freedom, I stop treating my focus like a prisoner and start treating it like a gift I’m giving my future self, sometimes quietly, but faithfully, on purpose,
I choose affection and freedom, I notice how I tight myself is when I’m scared, and how my tightness turns the work into a punishment instead of a practice,
I choose affection and freedom, I admit I’ve confused discipline with misery before, like if I’m not suffering then I must not be serious,
I choose affection and freedom, why do I make it harder than it needs to be when the task is already asking enough of me,
I choose affection and freedom, loosen what I’m holding too tightly, and continue the work with an open heart…
Give justice to the moment, I let the present be what it is instead of demanding it also carry my whole past and my whole future at the same time,
Give justice to the moment, I notice how often I botch what’s right in front of me because I’m chasing certainty somewhere else,
Give justice to the moment, I admit I’ve used overthinking as a way to feel safe, even though it never truly protects me, it only delays me,
Give justice to the moment, can I respect this hour enough to do it well without asking it to guarantee anything,
Give justice to the moment, I do the work that belongs to this slice of time…
Live with simple mastery, I learn that control isn’t drama, it’s steadiness, it’s choosing the next right action again and again even when my mood is unstable,
Live with simple mastery, I notice how abundance grows when I stop demanding more than what is required and start doing what is required with care,
Live with simple mastery, I admit I’ve wanted a big miracle while refusing the small habits that make miracles possible, which is hard to confess, but it’s true,
Live with simple mastery, am I willing to be consistent even when it feels boring, even when it feels like nobody will even notice,
Live with simple mastery, I keep showing up until “ordinary” becomes my strength…
Finish the day with integrity, I return to the task at hand as if this is the real altar of my life—where my attention goes is what I truly worship,
Finish the day with integrity, I notice how peace comes when I stop rehearsing speeches and start completing small honest actions that add up quietly,
Finish the day with integrity, I admit I’ve blamed time before, blamed life, blamed my mood, when the truth is I was afraid to commit fully,
Finish the day with integrity, will I choose again tomorrow to begin, to stay, to keep turning the wheel until it moves,
Finish the day with integrity, I close this day knowing I did my part, and I will do it again…
Watchwords:
Choose affection and freedom in the work
Give justice to the moment, do it well
Live with simple mastery, be consistent
Finish the day with integrity intact
