Self Improvement
Haiku: by Miracle Man
12/14/2021
How to get ahead,
means wake up, get up, lace up,
be dependable.
My Grandfather once said
he’d never heard of anyone dying from hard work.
The bigger you mentally are,
the bigger your wishes will be!
Who claim to love but build walls of separation,
Do not understand the meaning of love, at all;
While persisting in false expressions of the meaning
Of love, they thrive on their own self-righteousness.

“I saw Santa last night,” the tot said.
“He is BIG, and his suit is bright red,
like the robe Mama wore!”
Mama silently swore,
“No more sweets, high-cal foods, or white bread!”

Self improvement mostly
Comes with self learning,
Comes with self yearning,
Comes with self training,
Comes with self believing,
Comes with self understanding,
Comes with self helping,
Comes with self participating.
So, before you take action that smothers,
The self improvement of others,
Look at helping Mothers,
And Fathers,
Who don't want their children waiting on others,
To help them through life's bothers.
Self Improvement
1/29/2018
Work-shy men spend a lifetime operating in a hole,
Having let go of the rope of sacrifice they can’t climb out.
For every encouraging thing another might offer,
Come three adverse reasons why they can’t.
Self improvement isn’t a pipe dream that you just wish for,
Some choose the path of least resistance
Having frequent “woe is me” moments;
Continuous self improvement always requires setting goals,
A burning desire and a commitment to sacrifice;

I have several toxic habits - I know - because I read an article on the web.
It’s a miracle I’m not an axe murderer, based on what the experts said.
I use “should” biased judgements - when things go amiss.
I think about the future, when settling down to rest.
I obsess on defining the “best part” in each of my experiences.
I often think in poetic terms - which has driven wise men delirious.
I have nova bursts of interest - which escalate into crushes.
I keep a mental list of incidents which, if left unmanaged, lead to grudges.
The flaws go on and on - God, I simply am a mess.
I need to face my many flaws so that they might be addressed.
Do you think anyone is ever perfect?
Is it like playing whack-a-mole?
So that no one ever ends up perfect - they simply end up old?
Today, I resolve…
…to finalize important plans
and get them underway,
…to eschew unkind words
and displays of anger,
…to help someone become
the person they want to be.
Today, I resolve
…to repair something
I left in disarray,
…to come to the aid of
someone in danger,
…to demonstrate the values
of fairness and honesty.
Today, I resolve
…to be a better person
than I was yesterday,
…to do a good deed
for a total stranger,
…to make life easier
for those around me.
Today, I resolve…
…to make the world we live in
a better place,
…and, obviously, I need
to start with me!
I forgive them now,
I realize I'm the one
Who has to sort out
The mess they had made themselves
And could never figure out.
I love talking to you
Staying awake till my tongue turns blue
Clinging on to every word you say
But things feel different
When you're voice is away
Staying up after zero two
Watcha doin?
How are you?
Too awake to fall asleep at three
Don't be mad at her
My problems belong to me
I wish i was her
She is courageous , she is bold
She does not care about the thoughts of the world
Above all when she loves she loves wholeheartedly
I wish i could meet her once more
Like i did a few years back
But is she still there
Or did the bitterness of the world bring her down
She always had a smile on her face
Always had an answer to her flaws
Her tears were almost invisible
But how i wonder how she managed all this
I wish i was her
But what if it was all pretence
Maybe her perfect doesnt really exist
Maybe her courageous self and her loving self are now just mere history
Do i still want to be her?
Is she still the one i admire the most?
Yes, because whether she still exists or not
I want those traits but this time i hope i wont give up
I still want to be her.
In the realm of introspection, my friend,
Let go of the desire to possess, to hold me tight,
For I am but a reflection, a flicker in the night.
Instead, turn your gaze inward, delve into your core,
Where the universe resides, an infinite store.
Seek not to grasp me, but fathom the depths,
The labyrinthine chambers of your own self.
In those sacred spaces, the answers unfold,
A treasure trove of wisdom, waiting to be told.
For within you lies the key, the guiding light,
To unravel the enigma, to unlock the mystery’s might.
Embark on a journey, ceaseless and bold,
Through the landscapes of your soul, untold.
With each step, uncover the hidden gems,
The fragments of truth that shine like diadems.
In the ceaseless exploration, you shall find,
The understanding you seek, the solace of mind.
And in that understanding, a profound connection,
A tapestry woven, a cosmic intersection.
Threads of our existence, interwoven and entwined,
A dance of energies, harmonious and kind.
For as you explore the depths of your own being,
You’ll discover the essence, the beauty we’re seeing.
In this grand mosaic, our lives are enmeshed,
Like rivers merging, flowing, divinely blessed.
No longer mere strangers, but souls intertwined,
We are bound by a love that forever will bind.
The intricacies of our shared existence, sublime,
Unveil the sacred truth of unity, divine.
My dear seeker, release your grip on me,
And turn your gaze inward, set your spirit free.
Discover the vastness that lies deep within,
For there lies the secret, the song we begin.
Do not strive to possess, but surrender and be,
In the discovery of your own soul, forever free.
I tried to find you,
Tried, tried, tried to find you.
But you’re hiding from yourself,
Behind a wall of bricks that seem
So, so, so
Unbreakable
Making it impossible to see you.
For who you really are.
You’re afraid of letting go,
Of the past.
And moving on to fast.
Holding on to memories
Good and bad,
Is what you like to do.
Making it impossible,
For me to find you.
I tried to find you.
Tried, tried, tried to find you.
But you’re holding on to excuses.
Pointless excuses,
Redundant excuses,
Excuses that are holding you back,
And not taking you,
To where you want to be.
I tried to find you.
Tried, tried, tried to find you.
But only you,
Have the powers to reach,
Deep, deep, deep
Down into the darkness,
And pull yourself out of the rut,
That you have built for yourself,
Over the years.
Only you can break through the bricks,
That feel like stone,
And become who I know you are.
I tried to find you,
Tried, tried, tried to find you.
But you’re hiding from yourself.
And I question if you will ever truly find yourself.
Self improvement
Is self empowerment
Your worth defines
Your value
What you do daily
Defines your journey
Leading you to destiny
According to your input.
Self improvement
Is self elevation
You move without stagnation
When there's a given task
You act without hesitation
Showcasing your ability
Not acting like a liability
Hindering your prosperity.
Self improvement
Is self awareness
Knowing your capability
Maintaining stability
Always striving for liberty
Not fitting into society
Always facing reality
Nailing every opportunity.
