Remember to Remember

   I've been delving deep within the cores, and caverns of my mind and digging into the depths of my soul. I am blatantly aware that surface level interactions, carnal desires, materialistic pursuits, greed's and goals, as well as false and forced fronts and personas do not ignite nor inspire any intrigue or compliment or play counterpart to the fire that burns insistently within my core. I honestly find refuge in my solitude, comraderie within my own source of friendship, sanctuary within my company. In continually challenging my inner conflicts, flaws, and demons, I am filled with inspiration and gratitude when I am able to overcome....
In being my own best friend and simultaneously my own inner critic, I am able to be aware of the overcoming of my own imperfections and can move towards achieving my personal soul goals. In not being in a state of constant comparison, I know that I am only in competition with myself.
In remaining gentle, nurturing, encouraging, and understanding with myself, I have the ability to be proud of any and all accomplishments,no matter how greatly vast or seemingly insignificant they may be. In knowing that I can be my greatest adversary or advocate. I will keep pressing forward at my own unique pace, in recognition of the Divinity in which I inherently and innately embody. I know that there is really nothing and no one that exists outside of myself as well as within. The whole of the universe resides within me. I recognize the growth from my struggles and tribulations, Grace from my failures and discomforts, I find my pains in my trials to be my teachers and guides dot-dot-dot I must always "remember to remember", how far I have come, what I have endured and Rose above, and how far I have come on this journey that my soul has chosen to embark on. In desolation, there is abundance. In scarcity, their lives bounty. In discord, there exists Harmony. I must not compromise my soul on this journey and I must never feel discouraged nor sell myself short. In survival of hardships, I always emerged stronger, and darkness I always reconnect with my Divine spark. I undoubtedly emerge in the light, and must never lose touch with this knowledge. I must remain vigilant and strive to perceive always with second ears and see with second sight...
