Be Aware of Your Awesomeness

Death is just the taking away 
of the gross material that 
enshrouds and hides
the life essence that is you, 
setting you free from your 
temporary cocoon that has become 
your mortal prison. 
In your freedom, 
You will find there's no death. 
Live your life fully with gladness. 
Be aware of your awesomeness
and make a mark with your life. 
Follow the path of righteousness.
Realise that you are nothing more 
than a sojourner on earth. 
Enter into each day with 
joyful tenderness in your heart. 
Take whatever comes to you, 
either good or bad as it is 
without much ado,
for they come to make up
the textures of your life. 
Be strong and courageous 
Remain calm in the face of adversities.
Be unshakable,
for all you encountered and achieved 
is for a while and for a purpose,
to make your life a worthy one. 
Do not for any reason cause anyone 
to cry or suffer because of you. 
Live wherever life places you in harmony 
with those in your sphere knowing 
you are there to serve. 
Be aware of what will be a source of 
your future annoyance, 
and with wisdom deal with it
or completely avoid it. 
Remember who you are always. 
Do the right things.
