Rationalization like masturbation,
always leaves you screwing yourself...
Chronic lying, constant denying,
rob you of life’s hidden wealth...


Painful reliance on that which guides us,
to the place where we want to be...
When all’s done and said, it’s all in the head...
For only the disciplined are free...

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

Not only can we be our own worst enemy, but we are also capable of being our own best friend...that is, if we choose to. This is an excellent piece, extremely inspirational to me personally, and beautifully written!  I would love to see more from you!!!  

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end...
