Expressing life's journeys in writing and poetry
Sometimes life gives you the biggest tests,
So you can step up and show what your made of;
So you can step up and show what your really worth,
How strong that fight in you really is
To achieve the victory you know you deserve,
So you can show the world you can and will win no matter what!!!
~ M.L Adams
Learning, growing, deeply flowing
Letting go of all that got in the way
Being you
Always true
Seeing how it is,
You’re not here to impress;
You are here to expand
To always grow,
Continually flow
Finding your way,
Come what may
Where nothing will stop you
You’re finding your balance
So all sides are even
Drop all expectations
As they will too
It works both ways man,
Adapt and flow 💗
~ M. L Adams
Today I get to choose again,
To choose the light above everything
To know that all is handled,
All is well
That in sight of the sun
All challenges melt like snow,
All we have to do is rise above
To see in another the light in all of us
Shine above, rise above
Seeing all you truly are,
The light & love;
You are the rising shining sun ☀️💗
~ M. L Adams
Thinking on some recent challenges and how to overcome them,
I thought of Bruce Lee’s words,
‘Be like water’
and came up with the following, on the way of least resistance. 💗
What would water do
What would water do,
It never holds or clings
It flows, it moves, it adapts,
Never resisting
Simply going with where it is
Flowing,
Always finding the way 💗
~ M. L Adams
If you’re resisting something
Or someone else
Then you’re resisting yourself
Here as you are,
Where you are,
Right now
If you do find this so,
Then simply let go
Set yourself free;
Come back to your flow ❤
~ M. L Adams
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” ~ Helen Keller
“No goal can have much effect unless taken seriously. Each goal prescribes a set of consequences, and if one isn’t prepared to reckon with them, the goal becomes meaningless.”
~ Mihaly Czikzentmihaly
When we are on our journey of mission and purpose, we can sometimes get knocked off course, at times forgetting our real mission from the beginning, or even forgetting who we are.
I’ve seen this happen to others and almost allowed it to happen to myself. My message to you today, is to never allow this to happen to you.
Stay firm in your resolve and strong in your mission no matter what happens and most of all never forget your cause and who you really are.
In any situation we have a choice of how to respond, a choice of what to believe and what perception to take
For Example;
If someone attacks us because of their stuff we can choose to react in hurt and anger or we can choose to learn in gratitude, compassion and growth. The latter being a far more powerful place to be and one that will serve you as well as the world as a whole.
We always have a choice of what perception to take and we can never truly know where another persons behaviour originates. When we make a mistake which we all sometimes do we then have a choice to correct it.
We always have choice over our own behaviour and this means everything in terms of the causes we create and the change we can make in choosing to come from love, and from our mission and purpose.
What we choose, can become a part of our journey and how we look back on ourselves within our relationships or situations. We can and do however also change in each moment and there is nothing more certain than change and the possibilities of change.
So then the real question becomes; no matter what situation I find myself in, who do I decide to be in this moment? This is always our choice as well our greatest gift.
With this knowledge and position we can create anything.
We don’t have to repeat anything and we can become all we want to be. Then choosing to create ripples of magic wherever we go.
To hold on to the past or come from a reactive place is to effectively make a choice to live there and be swayed off course. Always know you’re more than that and that your path and purpose is worthy of your 100% commitment no matter what happens.
Then nothing is wasted or lost, only learnt from, we can then instead use our past to empower ourselves and others and strengthen our purpose and mission.
Each one of us has great potential and everyone has the potential to transform. From the power that is truly ours, the transforming power that we have within, to love and make a real difference.
In coming from this space and being the change, we then create ripples of love and purposeful living. Choosing to live at the cause instead of the effect.
Hold your vision
Hold your vision,
Always believe you can,
Act with unshakeable faith,
Without a doubt in your heart
You will always achieve,
Being the best that you can
Choosing your cause over doubt,
Always holding your vision
Deciding your fate
With your whole purpose and mission
~ M. L Adams
To quote Tony Robbins, decide today to live from a place where you are coming from your greatest power in every moment;
‘The greatest power within you, the power to love.’ ~ Tony Robbins
From there know that anything and everything is possible and you’ll always be protected.
Always ❤
Have a beautiful day of being and creating ❤
To fight,
With fighting flow,
To turn that hurt
In to gold
This is the power;
You have within
Let nothing ever stop you,
You can always win
To fight,
With fighting flow
To turn that pain
In to a story of old
This is the way
The way you always know,
To transform any struggle;
In to pure love for all
~ M. L Adams

Don’t give up on life
Or allow it to get you down
Everything that happens,
Is here to serve you somehow
No matter how it may seem,
In any betrayl or deceit
There is always a point where you’ll win,
Where you will rise and be free
Use this time to build you up,
To recover what was took,
To focus your own mind
On all your joy; on all you seek
You deserve the best now
You worked so hard for it
Let go of all that no longer serves you;
Allow your truth to rise within
It is your life, your mind,
It is you that holds the key
You can turn this around,
No matter what; just believe
~ M. L Adams
