Complacency
What happens to incentive drive to achieve
When you hit a plateau your “get up” leaves
How to stay hungry pointed true north
When cyclical malaise yields empty froth
Do we choose “south” say “that where it’s at!”
Can we prevent or it just happens like that
Must be more vigilant if you want to achieve
Stay active and cogent continue to believe
The world your oyster stay in the game
Remember your talents what to you is fame
Don’t let your unconscious untrack aspirations
Don’t give up your life to others vibrations
Let attractions pull and awaken vision
Constantly renew without indecision
Keep forward momentum alive in your brain
Wield a strong umbrella shielding the rain
When you crumble and life beats you down
Do not change your smile to frown
Keep your eyes True North let it be your guide
Keep strutting your stuff do not run or hide
What saps your energy and enables you to forget who you are and what you came here to do?”
What do you do to reclaim your spark when thrown off track?

I have always been a seeker, always looking for the answers to what seekers ponder. I can remember Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Psychocybernetics; Dr. Carl Rogers On Becoming a Person. Moving through my legal training and practicing law the focus was always about people and how to better their lives. All that searching, reading, studying and introspective work culminated in this collection of daily readings for seekers.
My work in the world has progressed from fighting legal cases to mediating divorces to helping people understand the essentials of relationship and collaborating to these poems. How can we collaborate effectively and work with each other in harmony to create the world we seek. How can we mindfully enable this world to become a place that works for all.
My prayer is that through introspection using these poems as a guide we can all grow together in making the world the Heaven on Earth we all aspire toward.
