... But only for a moment...
Inside, I smile.
I smile at things, people, animals, nature, and just about anything.
Everything gives me life.
I've been told with negative innuendos, that I am a rolling stone.
Maybe that's what I was meant to be.
... I am free!
Free to think for me,
To act the way I want,
To do the things I want.
To go where I please.
I don't have to conform, nor do I have to rebel. Yet, a punctilious approach to the things that I venture into, from an altruistic perspective, is my pride.
I dabble in different fields that I have an aptitude for, or I might delve into new areas to gain new skills for personal development. Nevertheless, it's my mentality, self-discipline, and most important, an inner drive to succeed to be the best at anything I devote my time to; That's what keeps me motivated regardless of what's happening in my life.
I am not afraid to fail, because it's in those times when things derail, that I grow.
My growth mindset makes me live to learn.
I see the world as a place full of possibilities, and I believe that with imagination, creativity, and positive energy, I can still gather much with movement.
I might forget to smile...
... but only for a moment, sometimes.
Thoughts that soon I'll be moving on again fill me with mixed emotions.
But nothing in life is set in stone.
I roam in different directions, as I sway with the wind, but I direct my life by making the best of whatever opportunities or circumstances I find myself in.
Growth might not be palpable from an onlooker's view, but I strongly believe these words of Leonardo da Vinci.
"There are three classes of people: Those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see."
Trust me, "I see!"
... and what I see is all that matters to me.
I must be a committed rolling stone.
With every move I make, I take something with me, and I give a part of me away.
That's life to me; Learning, gaining experience, and becoming a critical thinker of the world.
Some paths might be clearer than others, and I might not take a direct route. However, experience has taught me that there is no specific route because there are various destinies.
I am a survivor, and I know that vicissitudes come in seasons, and despite what one might show on the outside, it's what's inside the mind that matters.
This may have turned out lyrical, without intent.
[Smile]
Just a short one to free my mind while working.
Thanks for stopping by:)
Peace 🙏
