Exercising Patience

Feels so good to finally be in a space where all that I know, doesn't need to be said. A space where everything I hear, doesn't need to be repeated. A space where I can quickly assess who and what really deserves my attention.

I've learned to ask myself to what degree and at what cost will I allow myself to be pulled away from who I really am at the core? What's worth deviating from my overall plan? What means more than staying focused?
The answer, undoubtedly, NOTHING!

It's taken years for me to put me first but I have finally arrived. But not a day goes by that I don't ask this simple question of myself, "Am I doing for me, what I would so graciously do for another?"
