2019 went by so fast. Still, some great things happened last year. I started GiantsWithin.com, and I traveled to Portugal and Spain.
In 2020, I’ll keep building GiantsWithin.com, I’ll write a book, and I’ll keep traveling.
What are 2 or 3 things that you did last year? And what are 2 or 3 things that you’ll do in 2020?
Whatever you’re up to in life, you’ve got this. Remember that, and enjoy these lyrics.
“You’ve Got This” lyrics / poem by James Barnett
I act like I already have a death sentence
One that hangs heavy on my head
I stare into the abyss
And the abyss stares back at me
Whatever that means
I’ve never really known
So I stumble forward incomprehensibly
Putting one foot ahead of the other
As I’ve been shown
Plodding through a day at a time
Looking for some moments to call mine
Wondering if the dark clouds will ever lift
For the light to shine through
It would be quite the gift
My heart torn asunder
Perhaps I’m too dramatic
I’m craving the release that’s cathartic
For too long I’ve been frozen like the Arctic
Heat me up from the top
Down to my toes
I long to be warm and friendly
What would that even look like
This unfamiliar territory
Into it I must go
I’m following a well-worn path
But to me it’s brand new
So many have gone here before
Their wisdom I explore
In and out, each breath I take
Rocks me to my core
Experimental sideways tours
Delays and roundabout detours
Are all part of this life
I’ve lost count of how many times
I’ve asked and wondered why
Why am I here
Why is there pain
Why don’t I remember what I’m here to learn
Here to learn
The mystery to unfurl
If I remembered
That’d be too easy
Of course, I see that now
Everything is here to help me
Life happens for me, not to me
With that awareness, the suffering ends
I don’t have to pretend otherwise
There are no victims, and it’s no one’s fault
There’s nothing to forgive
Yes, I’m free to live
Be alive and enjoy
Eat, drink, and be merry
Smile, laugh, respect, and love
That’s what beautiful memories are made of
Here’s my toast to humanity
I wish you more happiness than you can handle
Take it, it’s yours
Claim your birthright of happiness
So I say, Cheers, You’re greater than your fears
Do what you’re most afraid of
It’s likely what you require anyway
Go on creating a brand new brighter day
You’ve got this, You’ve got this
You’ve got this, Yes, You’ve got this
