Self-Mastery Poem

In the depths of my soul I hear a call

It beckons to be heard and felt by all

It speaks of human connection and unyielding affection

It breathes new life and rebirth into humanity

And promises greater awareness and authenticity

It’s the art of self-mastery

An undertaking that reveals potential and enlivens creativity  

It shines a light in the dark corners of our soul

Reaching through the cobwebs to find the gold

This treasure is unnamable but most relatable

It’s the recognition of our own wholeness, completeness and perfection as is

It’s the continual journey which has no end and effortlessly guides us in how to live

It’s the transmutation of ego-centered thinking to heart centered creating

And the transformation of limited thinking to magical believing

It’s about letting go and moving forward

Trusting our gut feelings and looking inward

It’s taking our power back and relinquishing self-doubt

It brings back our freedom and gives us courage to let our true selves out

Self-mastery embodies self-love

And consistent self-love becomes the mold for the life that’s yet to come

It’s releasing resistance to dreaming bigger

And dropping the self-defeating story that’s made us bitter

It’s paying more attention to our Selves so we can show up better for others

It’s leaning in instead of running away and settling into the unknown until we find a better way

It’s about being present and choosing joy in each moment

It’s living light-heartedly without condemnation or self-judgement

Self-mastery is loving oneself unconditionally, and offering forgiveness consistently

It’s accepting our own divinity and surrendering to unlimited possibility

It’s what’s kept me looking forward, trekking through this life as a starry-eyed explorer
