When we take life too seriously

When we take life too seriously

Life in turn takes us too seriously

Everything becomes serious

When we fail to see the humor in things

The humor in things fails to see us

There is no humor left

When we become too angry

Angry becomes us

Follows us

When we learn to let go and let be

The load lightens and we see

Life is what we perceive it is be

No more, no less

Just the way we color our world

When we no longer laugh at ourselves

The world laughs at us

When we laugh out loud at our seriousness

The world laughs with us

Not at us

When we learn to say what we mean

And mean what we say

The world understand us and anticipates our needs

Rather than speaking double dutch

Or being afraid to ask for what we want

Because all that we attract is mixed messages

Because they mirror the ones we are sending

When we say one thing and mean another

We get back what we mean

Rather than what we say

When we learn to let go and let be

Then when we see

We color the world with our own perceptions

With the lenses we choose to see the world through

Which one are you?

Are we?

Rosy?

Shady?

Glossy?

Opague?

Or mirrored?

The world is as it is

Because of the way we are

The way we choose to live

The way we choose to be

The way we choose to portray ourselves

Victims

Winners

Losers

Champion

It’s always up to us

Even when we feel

Hopeless

Tired

Vengeful

Dark

And alone

We are never alone

And we can always

Change the color of our lens

Because we are the journeyers

On this journey called life

And only when we understand

We are the masters of our fate

Only when we learn to laugh out loud

To accept our pain is just as necessary as our joy

Only when we learn to release

To not blame

To look at ourselves truly in the mirror

Can we see

Who is looking back at us

Only then will we 

Be able to shape our destiny

To live the life we are meant to live

To open ourselves to the possibility

And abundance waiting just for us

But only when

We stop taking life too seriously

Only when

We laugh at ourselves

Only when

We see the humor in things

In ourselves

Will we be able to spread our wings

And fly

Only then

Will we see we color the world

With our perception

Allowing us to understand

The only truth that exists

Is the truth we carry in our hearts, bodies and souls

And that is the truth we reflect

Project

So what will it be

For you

For me

For us?

A life lived too seriously

Or a life lived fully and truly?
