Have a read and reflect on the following poem I hope you enjoy it and gain something from it as I and my european friends have.
As always comments are welcome and if you find anything that inspires send me a link. Thanks.
I am nobody
I am master to no one and I serve everyone
I obey who ever gives me the tools to survive
for as long as I can and always pay my debts in full
always grateful for every moment of suffering
that teaches me more about my own weaknesses
And with those tools
I earn my keep.
I see clearly where I am and where it will take me
regardless of what others may think
because my head is clear, positive and healthy
I am confident
that what does not work can be fixed
what cannot be fixed can be done without
and what I can do without
only makes me stronger
for lack of need or want
I become free within the power of my will
I do not need doubt
nor do I curse the others
I embrace the darkness
and I am comfortable with the unknown
what I cannot see
I am not blind to
because I take each moment before it arrives
and release the now as it passes
I never take advantage of another's dependency
instead make sure to appreciate who they are
when I am in a position to help
I want to be sure someone wants my help
each friend I have
is the last friend I need
because with one or many
I am nobody but I am the same
Consistent with my purpose
To search and find, to find and know
To know and become
and realize what I have become.
