Greatness in Being Yourself

there is greatness in being yourself
delight in knowing what sooths you
who inspires you, what challenges you

there is beauty in being your own best friend
in figuring out what you need today
and what you needed yesterday

there is no one more appealing
or more enthusiastic
than a person who
is their ultimate joyful self

so get to know you
revere yourself
find something to love

be passionate and excited about something
do not expect anyone to live your life for you
or to tell you how to live

only you knows you
