Self-examination

Self-examination
Is a vital point
To a vital life.

I can choose to grow not;
I can choose to stagnate;
I can choose to ignore spiritual invitations.
But I am given many opportunities
To choose to look within
Before or after I point without.

My inventory, my daily reflection,
Is mine.
I donÕt have to berate myself
Or listen to old, condemnatory voices,
Father Gods in my head.

My inventory.
My growth. My willingness. My perception of
What life has to offer.
And my belief
That I am deserving.

My mistakes. My insights. My solutions.
Listening to inward promptings
And outward advice.
Open to both, wise to both,
Learning from both.

How much do I truly desire
And deeply yearn for
A new life
With no strings or preconditions attached?

How much desire do I really have
For transformation?

How much openness do I have
For growing on a daily basis?

The unexamined self
Is a self not really living.

Very nice, really makes you think....... about the choices I have made, alot of them wrong, and now I can live the way I want to, with a clear head and ABLE to make the right choices, instead of being in some dazed out fog, and not caring one way or another.
