Etch-A-Sketch Your LIfe

not happy?
not content?
 
not satisfied
with your life?
 
why not
 
turn it upside down
shake it around
 
start drawing
a new picture?
 
why not
begin again
 
eliminating
past mistakes
 
incorporating
learned lessons?
 
often we
make our lives
 
unnecessarily complicated
overlooking
 
under estimating that sense of direction
gained by taking a little time
 
time
to sit alone with ourselves
 
time
to sit in the quiet
 
time
to say  
 
i’m not accepting
ideas of a good life
 
from
external sources
 
time
to listen to that inner voice
 
time
to decide to be alive
 
time
to eliminate shit that
sucks life from my soul
 
that
is where passion lives
 
passion
 
never about
your self
 
passion
 
always
about
 
good you can do
in the world
 
imagine
 
your life with
 
more time
more meaningful relationships
more contentment
 
imagine
 
a life of passion
 
unencumbered by
trappings of the chaotic world
 
imagine
 
an intentional life
 
not perfect
not easy
 
but simple
