TRYING

Trying sounds like effort before we even start,
No wonder so few people accomplish what's in their heart.
Trying sounds like an attempt at something we might achieve,
But trying sounds half hearted, we say it but don't believe.

Trying sounds like there is no end in sight,
Not like really knowing darkness follows light.
Trying sounds vague, unsure when the effort will end,
It's probably why so many quit or seek help from a friend.

As if trying wasn't hard enough, they tell us to 'try harder'
And if we do and still don't succeed, they say we tried too hard.
So now they tell us, 'take it easy, slow down, just relax'
But those ideas run on different and opposite tracks!

I can certainly see the cause of so much stress,
Confusion and frustration in 'trying' to do your best.
But people are quick to give advice, telling us 'don't try'
We know trying seldom works, but don't understand why.

The answer is in the power of words called vibratory energy
The way it works is we become equal to its frequency.
Whatever 'trying' means to us we become equal to its vibration,
And go about producing its equivalent without hesitation.

I'm sure you've heard this slogan or commercial during the news,
It was first made famous by a company selling shoes.
They know people make excuses for reasons why they quit,
So they simply advertise a solution saying, JUST DO IT!


WE KNOW THE ANSWER

Of all the beautiful things to enjoy in life,
Why are we bent on conflict and strife?
Working at jobs for people we hate,
Then complain to everyone that is our fate.

Our lovers now enemies, really don't care,
Divorced, alone, with no one to share.
Stuck in a rut, whining it's so hard to change
When it's our comfort zone with a limited range.

To venture out and live our dreams
Is easier said than done, it seems.
Does it require courage to decide and act
Or know where we're going, such a little known fact?

Spending meaningless days unable to grow,
When asked, 'What's the problem?', we don't know.
Life is not difficult, we make it that way,
Accepting responsibility is the order of the day.

So what is the solution to life's puzzle we seek?
We know the answer even as we speak.
Deep down inside, it's all those fears,
Which we have accumulated over the years,
Solidified into habits of hard core beliefs
Which now forms the basis of all our grief.

No more lame excuses and feeble alibis,
Living false hopes, telling little white lies.
Live what excites you it's the most valid thing you can do,
It will open up a world of happiness for you.
But you must live it now, no past or future to fret
So when it's all over you'll have no regrets.
