Follow the First Step with Acceptance

The first step
The most difficult step

Just happens
When the One chooses

Living your life waiting
Is not accepting what you are given

If you accept your life as it is
You will honor your life fully

You live your life
With Trust

You live your life
With humility

You enjoy life
Because you accept your life

You live fully
In every situation you are in

You give
Because you are free

Free in mind
Free from the control of the Mind

The first step is always there
You must choose to accept it

Life is foolish
When you feel fooled

Life is cherished
When you cherish life

You must live
In the moment

If you hesitate
Even for a slit second

You allow your Mind
To take a step

The Mind’s first step
Is difficult to recover from

What lingering idea do you have
Honor it

There are many tools
Stop the Mind’s routines and create

Learn something new
If learning is required to create

Silence the Mind
Learning enriches your life

Learning is not difficult
Your Mind’s attitude makes it difficult

There once was a story
That happens over and over again

On the last day of a person’s life
They sit with their Mind and regret

They regret
Everything they didn’t do

They ask their Mind
“Why did you prevent me

Prevent me from everything
My life wanted to do”

The Mind is bewildered and says,
“I only showed you your routines

You said nothing in response
You continued with your routines

And decided
Not to change anything at all”

Once you are given that first step
Do not grieve your old routines

Say hello to them
Thank them for everything they gave you

You were given that routine
But now you are given a new routine

Thank everyone
For giving you their time

Be grateful
For everything you have received

A change in your life
Changes the lives of many

Your grace
Will carry all of you
