Expressing life's journeys in writing and poetry
I’m re- posting this as it was around this time last year and it serves as powerful a reminder right now of the importance of personal power, one of intentionally creating in each moment, every single day.
We all have far more power over our lives than we sometimes realise, it’s just a matter of choosing where our focus goes. A daily practice however always.
Much Love,
Miranda
All beauty exists here and now,
Beneath all form of shadow and doubt
Beneath all fear and false pretence
Lies this beauty in complete oneness
This truth we can easily forget,
It’s who we are at the core of everything
We lose this knowledge when we focus on gain,
In greed and falseness that only lead to pain,
We cover this truth with all we think is beauty
Forgetting all we really need already lies within
Here is the source, our real true selves
All the beauty we need; all the real wealth
~ M. L Adams
Let’s never forget all we really are ❤
Recognise what’s in your life
See what’s there in front of your eyes
The things that really matter,
They’re already there
Within your heart, within your life
What really counts, it’s already there
Focus on those people who are there for you
The ones who make the time for you
The ones who will not lie to you
Who share and care and cry with you
Who build you up when you are down
Who forgive you when you need them to
Who see who you really are in every way
This is what really matters each and every day
~ M.L. Adams
For all those who take the time and are always there no matter what. What really matters is already here, when we are too busy seeking more, this we can easily forget. Our time is the most valuable thing and all we ever really have is now, I seek to treasure these moments now, the ones that really matter.

There’s this space beneath the lines
Where all expands and comes alive
Where all is one, yet somehow lost
The space is open far and wide,
There are no boundaries, there are no guides
It falls before you and you decide
To take the journey or to run away,
To stay the way or continue to wait
The space is open, the space is clear,
To fall again or to stay away
~ M.L. Adams
Find the truth on your path;
Each one of us has a different way
Its not for us judge or try to take another
Along with us on our way,
Its only us that can travel this path;
Though others may follow too,
The ones who will stay the full road
They are only a few
We may still want to hold on,
But some are just not meant to be
They come to our lives for a lesson,
A lesson we may no longer need
Keep travelling on, on your true path
There are many more missions to seek
Don’t let others try to stop you
There job is not to hold you there
But to travel along on their path;
Until you may meet again somewhere
~ M.L.Adams
I found on this way
All I seek is here to stay
It’s all within me; here inside
Yet I was seeking it outside
All security, freedom and fun
I contain right here where I am,
When I see it in others, I see it in me
When I inspire others, they inspire me
This is a sure thing I know it’s true
I know as well as knowing can do
This true way lifts higher than before,
This place I seek to show in everyway
All I do from here on in;
Will be from this place of love
The way where no limits exist,
The way where all beautiful souls co-exist
~ M.L.Adams
To wait on another is to give away your soul to another
To give over control to another is to pass away your faith to another
So take your control back, take your power back;
It’s the only way forward and there is no way back
Take action based on the best for all,
Not on where others may rise or fall
No matter how much it hurts, just do what is best
For there’s only one way forward and there’s no way back,
You have met with many a struggle before
Now you have the knowledge and you know this way forward
All is new and welcome in this place
All you have to do is choose this true way
Know what it’s like to be in that zone
To be all you can, with all that you know
To own your own life and not be owned by another
You have all you need within you you see; all that you need to now set you free
So choose this higher and equal way, choose the way you want to face
The choice is yours and yours alone
Don’t wait on another to show you this way
We are in control when we choose to be, so take that step now; it will set you free
~ M. L. Adams
It can be hard to let go
When its become all you know,
When the feeling’s become so strong
That you’ve held on for far too long
Then you realise it’s all a test
So you can really be at your best,
So you can beat all that tries to mistreat you,
Then nothing more can ever defeat you
So when this pattern is finally broken,
It is a promise it will all be forsaken
~ M.L.Adams
Listen and look,
Beauty is everywhere
This is what’s real
Just listen, look and feel
Use all your senses
To see what is true and real
Beauty is within and around you,
Its everywhere just waiting
For you to listen to look and to feel
Don’t hide or be afraid
From what is true and beautiful and real
Just open your heart and mind
Its within and all around you,
Just listen, look and feel
~ M.L.Adams
With some journeys its hard to know where to start but it always begins somewhere, just in one moment. That one moment leads to many , many more (the butterfly effect). These moments whether we view them as positive or negative are always magnificent. One moment and one life leads to much more, nothing is ever insignificant.
This year is one I would describe as magnificent in itself , this year for me has been really a transformation, one that began in Autumn last year, a time of letting go of old and in with new. This is how it began and from one tiny little moment it has led to massive growth in my life. Just like a tiny seed that can grow in to an amazing beautiful flower, that is what one little moment in my life did when nurtured and encouraged on the path of growth.
From making a decision in one moment to begin my own business to then going to a life changing seminar where I met amazing people, each has been a step on an amazing growing journey that in one year has been like a lifetime of lessons all of which have been transformational, not all easy though. I’m not sure if any transformational steps in life ever are easy, but one thing I know is it always leads to something higher or better if that is what you are seeking. All it takes is one intention or one decision and from there your whole life transforms, when I think about it now , it amazes me how much so.
I sought wealth and I found freedom, freedom in myself, freedom in expression, freedom in the heart and now I know that to me this is what wealth really represents. Material wealth is also important but true freedom is what deep down I was seeking. Now that I have found it every other path is also open. My life has expanded all from one decision, one opportunity , one transformational relationship and a million tiny changes in between. As Tony Robbins states,
‘ It’s in the moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.’
This change can sometimes manifest physically but more powerfully and more importantly is the inner change and transformation from these tiny decisions , they can be truly life changing and really are. Which way these decisions lead us can contain many variables but the cause lies within and everything will then come at the right moment even if it is not what you think you need at the time, all things are on the path of growth. You may often get what you need rather than what you think you want, something that is far more powerful and life changing, that which your inner soul is calling for.
My belief through this experience is that for a decision to be truly transformational it needs to be one that is at least slightly out of your comfort zone, a bit scary. If not there is in reality no room for the unknown, no room for growth. My encouragement in this would be take a step every day however little , go for those decisions you’ve been wanting to take but putting off, because once you take that step each one after follows on the path to where you want to go in your heart and your courage builds each time to the point where you’ll make those decisions without questioning them.
The path of transformational growth is I believe the highest path of all, the gifts you may seek can often be sought no other way. We are all growing as part of nature but we can also choose our path, so why not choose a higher one. Step out your comfort zone today, take that beautiful journey, it may be tough at points but it will be amazing and worth it.
For this years life changing growing journey I’m immensely grateful to all who have been a part and also for taking those initial steps, ones I plan to take many more of. To finish, a little poem below on the power of one, hope you enjoy. Wishing you lots of life changing moments today and everyday.
The power of one
One word, one day
One moment, one life
That’s all it takes
A new start, a complete change
From one time, that’s all it takes
One moment , one change
One time, one life
All change can happen
From this one time
Never give up , life’s for living
It only takes one moment, Just one thing
One moment , one time
All change can happen from here on in
