Daring, authenticity. I live my life by my own rules. It's a chance I'm willing to take. I'd rather risk failure than live a life at stake. Each and every decision is made after consulting me. I ask if it makes me feel good. I ask if it makes me free. I ask if it throws in delight if it makes my soul want more. I ask if it inspires me if it makes my spirit soar. I ask if I could do anything

Hey, this is great. This reads almost like a mantra of sorts. I don't know. It feels like something that I think that could be used as, like, a tool to help recalibrate oneself throughout the day. It's really good. Thank you so much for sharing it

It is something that I do go back to and repeat in my mind quite a bit throughout the day, especially on those days when things are just not going quite the way that you planned. So thank you for your response and can't wait to share more. I'd like to hear some of your things. I'm going to have to check out

I don't know how you arrived at that, but if you're able to do that, that's truly powerful. And this poem is really good. The words kind of get through to you because of its simplicity and its relevance. And it's a really good poetry, and I'm glad you put it out. It can help people who are suffering by being affected by other people and guide them to a better way of living, better way of interacting, in fact

Thank you. Those words mean a lot. Everything that I write about is something that I learned absolutely the hard way, because I never learned anything in my life the easy way until I realized that I could make a decision to stop doing that and break that cycle. But it definitely was learned through a lot of hardships and overcoming and being just daily in the face of adversity and having to figure out how to stand on my own, even in the midst of it. So thank you

And I want to be able to offer them lessons that I wish I had learned earlier in a way that doesn't feel like authoritative is like trying to nail it into their head, but in a way that just gently and smoothly and melodically almost just becomes a part of their natural way of thinking. So thank you. I appreciate that
