“Yes no yes no yes no?
Red blue?
Yes red, no blue?
No red, yes no?
In out, up down?
Do don’t, can can’t?
Choices sit on the shelf life
New shoes in a shoe shop.
If the in crowd are squeezing into a must-have shoe
And the one pair left are too tiny for you
Don’t feel compelled into choosing them
If you’re really a size 9, buy that size.
While everyone else
Hobbles round with sore feet
Your choices should feel comfortable
Or they aren’t your choices at all.
Why limp when you can sprint?”
– David Baird, Fiesta of Happiness: Be True to Yourself
Daily Meditation:
May I ask you once more? In a deeper, more personal way … Why limp through the day, when you can sprint?
Love it! I think I sprint a lot 🙂
Haha! I bounce… does that count? =)
I think would 🙂 Definitely fun!
You are not alone my friend 🙂
This is wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
No worries! I hope you don’t mind more of the “personal” stories I am starting to post here … Take care this afternoon. 🙂
