A time to play first - surely work can wait..

“Let go of the past - create NOW.”

Feel the meaning of these words.

One more time, for those at the back!

Let go of the past and create NOW..

Pick up a pen,

Journal your thoughts, or

Phone an old friend

to warmly converse,

You might as well create right NOW

With a whole lot of feeling!

Chuck out the GPS, then

Drive your car to an unfamiliar spot,

See the sunrise,

Let the day not thwart.

Take ‘snaps’ of all the birds,

Walk under that bridge,

Feed the ducks (but not too much)

Let nature give.

A time to play first,

then later you can work,

If you continue to ‘play’ a little in your job,

then others just might have a smirk (or you’ll get fired!)

You've gotta learn to balance your energies,

You have the control,

Feel the positivity flow through you and

To others extol.

Hold onto that inner joy, and

Bask in its glory,

Muster up some pep now,

Only you can write your story.

Laugh until you splurt!

Fish in the vast Ocean,

Complete your epic novel,

Just stay in motion.

There’s freedom in thinking,

One’s stagnant-psychological-cords are now ✂️ cut,

Step up confidently pronto,

Mundane? You’re anything but!
