The reminders

I was reminded this morning that if you want something done right and thoroughly, you not only have to commit to doing it, but you have to commit each day. Each time we set foot on the cold morning floor as we briskly, or perhaps not so briskly, step out of bed in the morning, we have to recommit to the ideal of reaching that goal. For me this is apparent in that if i do not start my day off thinking about achieving my goal then i will not look for opportunities to live it out during the day. This is something i wrote as a conclusion of being sick in an apartment this past New Year's Eve, in Paris.

The streets are lined with pain and injustice
So many perpetrators, no one will trust us.
None are guilt-free and all are involved
from lovers to fighters; for right or for wrong.
We are all evildoer's, though not bound to the trend;
We have free will; He has paid the dividend.

We are set free through death
but in death there is life.
We can die to ourselves and our human caused strife.
Not required to be slaves or servants
daily choices we are given.
The love, the life, the joy the spirit;
inside us it is living.

Wake up tomorrow and make your adjudication.
Resolve to love, to live to serve, to strengthen your foundation.
Yeah, you'll fail but on the scale you're heart is the true tale
We live to learn and learn to teach
So pass the word and get off the streets.
