Guided By The Light

Notes from a good day, a reminder for what's ahead.

My mind being so often lost in superficial things that in a year’s time

will not have any importance the way I’m making them out to be

When I could so easily see that I am being guided towards a divine path

To where the outcome is greater and more rewarding than what

I had originally thought of before

The days ahead are going to be filled with victories and milestones

So why bother giving importance to things that are not going to add up to

much importance in the first place?? Why place that mental torture

unto myself for no justified reason whatsoever?

I could come up with a clever justification

to remain fixated on those things,

but again what good is that going to do if I continue??

There’s a lot to look forward to, it would be a tragic sin to harp on the bad and the awful when there is more to life than the challenges and struggles

Inside, that’s why I tend to be naive a lot of the time

I’m immersed into the hopes for the near future

it really doesn’t matter to me if things are shaking up a bit for the storm will pass and only remains a temporary nuisance to rock through

One of the things that gets me out of bed in the morning is knowing that the new chapter I’ve wanted is just within reach

and within a few good moves

I’ve already taken the right steps, now I have to keep going

to look ahead for the treasures waiting for me while motivating myself in the images of bearing the consequences if I quit now

Letting my emotions get to me somehow.

I can thank the universe for the new car that rides

and glides along the highway

when I drive to anywhere I need to go to, for the commute is even a pleasure to enjoy from the smart investment I’ve made

I can thank the universe for that new laptop that I picked up in the moment

of need when the other one I had became a permanent tablet

I can thank the universe for the resources in advance that are going to carry me through the beginning of my newer goals,

culminating into my new reality

I can thank the universe for my delightfulness in writing,

for I have a strong feeling

it’s going to serve me well into this new beginning

I should dwell on how lucky I am and only getting extremely luckier

from here on out, the guiding light getting brighter

therefore I shall not worry about tomorrow when today has just begun

and the concerns I’ll have in the future are in the hands of god

I shouldn’t worry about how my ends are going to be met,

on the verge of taking

a massive risk for the sake of a bigger reward on the other side

Note to self, pray more to the god who has everything under control

and the god who is my guiding light towards all that I’ve hoped for.
