Be the Best

Feel others' feelings
Be sensitive to others' needs
Including their most hidden needs 
Make others' needs
Part of your most treasured seeds
Live a win-win-game of life
Do not build your future
Over others' failure.

Step outside your own self
Feel great
About others' greatness
Be great
Through others' greatness.

Wherever you happen to be
Whatever you happen to do
Make your surrounding world 
A better place to be for somebody.

Strive to be the trailblazer
Strive to be the pathfinder
Of the very best in you
Of the very best in me
Of the very best in us all as a whole

You and Me

Let's fight for oneness
Let's fight for uniqueness
Let's fight for otherness
Let's fight for togetherness
Let's fight for all 
At the same time
Let's fight for all
All the time.

Let's the I in Me
Let's the You in You
Be at the very heart
Be the very heart
Of the We in Us.

Let's them meet
Let'sthem mate
Let's them be
The very one
They are meant to be.

Let's love
Be the main road
Let's love
Be the only road
To our life's main purpose.

Let's fight for love
Let's die for love
Let's love 
Be the smoothest road
Let's love 
Be the only road
Between You and Me.

Respect

To respect
Is to accept uniqueness
To respect
Is to accept otherness
To respect
Is to fight for togetherness
To respect 
Is to learn from necessary differences
To respect
Is to grow from necessary differences
To respect
Is to value shared values
The very and only glue
That binds us to one another
Tightly together

To respect
Is to refrain from interfering
With one another's intimacy
With one another's privacy
With one another's deep-rooted values
With one another's worldviews
With one another's need ffor reedom
With one another's needs for wisdom
With one another's need for self-expression.

Love

Love is to inner peace
What seed, soil, sun
Is to the plant: vital.

Love is a sea, a vast sea,
The limitless horizon its limit,
The blue azure sky its lid.

Love is a sea, a deep sea,
The bottomless abyss its floor.

Love is a vast sea
Love is a deep sea
With dizzying immensity
With inextricable mystery
With soul stirring melody
With divine soothing suavity.

Yet love cannot be taught
Love cannot be bought
Love can only be caught
For love to be caught
Love must be part 
Of all we do
Love must be part
Of all we refuse to do

Inner Harmony

Go deep down within
Be aware of all there is in
Be pure deep from within
Enjoy the music within.

Live, love, learn, fight for
In-depth self-discovery;
In-depth self-discovery
Is life's greatest discovery.

Be part of the joy
Be part of the suffering
Of every fellow brother
Of every fellow sister.

Plunge deep 
Into immanence
Soar high
Toward transcendence
Be a bridge builder
A-two-way-bridge builder
Bridge between
Life external demands
And life internal demands.

Giftedness

Every man you meet
Every woman you meet
Has all he needs to be
Has all she needs to be
The meaning seeking specie
The meaning making specie
He is meant to be
She is meant to be.

Every  man you meet
Every woman you meet
Has all he needs
Has all she needs
For a new and a beeter he
For a new and a better she
For a new and a better we
In a new and a better here
In a new and a better now
In a new and a better world.

Self-Love

Healthy self-love
Is a birthright divinely designed
To starve the lower self
The lower self
Is at the center of the world
The higher self
Is a vehicle into the world
The first is about material things
The second is about ultimate longings
Their difference is overwhelming.

Healthy self-love
Is the smoothest road
To the depth inside
To the  Milky High
To the power of the powerful
To the untapped power
Of the powerless
Powerfulness
Powerlessness
Abreast
From the same hidden breast.

Born To Win

Holistic healing
Wholeness, meaning
Success, greatness
Glory, legacy
Requires the work
Of a great work.

The work of a great work
Is the work of a great man 
In a great child
A great man
Has will, skill and wisdom
A great child
Has innocence 
And divine guidance.

To live meaningfully  is to:
Stand firm amidst friction 
Sand firm amidst frustration
It is to meet harder time
With harder will
It  is to have a laser focus goal
That wakes you up early
That keeps you awake late
A goal that reminds you
That you are born to win.

Self-Confidence

Holistic healing
Wholeness and meaning
Success and greatness
Spring, moucherom like,
Upon the deepest recess
Of your thoght process.

Before striving for success
In your day-to-day business
Strive for success
In your thought process.

You're a sending medium
You're a receiving medium
You mostly get back
Only what you send aout
Send out love
Send out hope
Send out wisdom
Sensd out compassion
