Do I see anything that needs to be done
for me that I am not doing? Or do
I only see what others could be doing
and are not? Do I? Do I?
Do I support myself by nurturing myself,
accepting what I feel and letting my
needs be known? Or do I shrink
under criticism, blame others for my
conditions and look for the easy way
out? Do I? Do I? Do I
recognize my truth and speak it when I
feel the need? Or do I allow fear
and people pleasing to silence me?
Do I? Do I? Do I continue to
do the things I know are not good for me
and do not bring me what I want?
Or do I examine myself, correct myself,
accept myself but commit to get better?
Do I? Do I? Do I know what I
want, believe I can have it, do
everything in my power to bring it
about? Or do I accept what others
tell me about my limitations and limit
myself to what they believe? Do I?
Do I? Do I have faith in spirit,
faith in myself, faith in things unseen?
Do I? Do I? Do you?
