ON MY WAY TO BECOMING EVER FREE Working out in the freezing cold In the hours well before The coming of the sun— Simply doing what must be done. Every day is an endless journey To an ever-shifting destination, When I choose to embrace each Moment’s challenges as they come. Long ago, I let go of all complaints And finding fault with situations, However hard they may seem to be be, On the way to becoming ever free. I have learned to use each circumstance To cultivate a loving and grateful attitude— For though pain and difficulties inevitably come, Whether or not I suffer is up to me. What happens outside is beyond my control, But the meaning I give it in my mind, What beliefs I greet it with within and How I think and act in response is up to me. I have had a life of crushing defeats, Heartbreaks and losses of every kind, Yet how I choose to use my experience Is determined by my own mind— Knowing and never forgetting this truth Is the power that makes my life shine, However hard life may seem to be, On my way every day to becoming ever free.
