Life is an adventure, a remarkable journey filled with experiences, lessons, and growth. Similar to a captivating book, our life story unfolds as we navigate through its chapters, each with its unique experiences.

Listen here:

Envision each step as a word, days as pages, life stages as chapters; all composing your distinctive narrative, your life’s book. I mean, there is a reason so many embark on the task of documenting their own or others’ life journeys.

This analogy highlights the essence of embracing life’s challenges and opportunities, as well as the significance of the choices we make along the way. Just as authors shape their characters and plots, we too write our destinies. This is encapsulated in the line “In the end, your book of life is your testament to who you chose to be”.

Moreover, I hope the poem conveys its intended core message; the concept of finding one’s inner strength and courage needed to confront life’s encounters by living authentically, embracing the unknown, seizing opportunities, and taking the lead in each our lives – recognizing that we are the authors of our life’s story:  “In the end, down the line, it’s up to you if your book is about the broken, or the divine.”.

Turn the Page – Next Adventure Awaits

Your life is like a book,

It’s up to you to stay on the chapter or turn the page, but aren’t you even a little bit curious to have just one look?

A glimpse into your next phase?

What the next chapter portrays?

*

Breathe in and breathe out,

Be here in this moment without a doubt.

Breathe in, feel the power within,

Breathe out, let go of all sorrow and sin.

For in the stillness we find, a mindful moment of peace and flow, ooh…

Our freedom and power within, a life of balance, the strength to let all worries undo.

Are you ready to find your life’s true?

New adventures and sights await you,

Step by step, a dance of dreams untold,

Embrace life’s wonders, leave today’s current stage’s hold.

Are you ready to move further into life’s adventures and a new dawn?

Don’t you feel drawn?

*

Breathe in, breathe out…

Pause in the moment, feel your present right now, let all distractions cease,

When you’re ready to move forward, embrace life’s release.

*

Breathe in, breathe out,

If you live with a mind in the past,

That’s okay, take your time, but do it fast.

If you live in the future,

That’s okay, take your time, but don’t get blind.

Do you manage to breathe in?

Feel your fingers and your feet?

Breathe out, be here, and feel the breathwork’s feeling of sweet.

Past or future, take your time, but don’t stay in its bind or you’ll be late,

Breathe in again, seek your purpose, and turn the page, – breathe out, your destiny await.

*

Breathe in, feel the calmness in the flow.

Breathe out, let all worries go.

Learn from the past, but do not dwell,

Know your past and future encounters are challenges you’ll find a way to face well.

Embrace every page, every chapter, and every step of your way,

Are you ready to turn the page, take the step forward, and embark on your journey today?

*

If not, that’s fine too,

You do you.

However, at some point, you need to face yourself and your life’s design,

By weakness or by strength, the next step or crawl could be your own sign,

Who knows, maybe life will truly shine?

*

Breathe in, breathe out.

Life’s unraveling mysteries of paths to take, challenges to overcome, mountains to run, walk or crawl,

Encounters and obstacles to meet, all part of your life’s call.

Breathe in, breathe out.

It all starts with the first turn of the page,

But that choice is yours to make.

The next chapter could be your time to shine,

Feel life’s brightness through your purpose over time.

The next page could change it all,

If we only muster the courage to take a leap and stand tall.

*

Breathe in, breathe out.

Write your next chapter with purpose and grace, on a journey for your life’s true,

You’re the author, set your pace during the hike for that view,

Take breaks as needed, as long as you continue to write the story of you.

With lessons learned from past mistakes, hardships, and fun teachings too,

Whatever the future holds, your life is gold.

Embrace the journey, let your spirit roam free,

In the end, your book of life is your testament of who you chose to be.

*

Breathe in, breathe out,

Embrace all life’s unknown, without a doubt.

For when looking back, each chapter in one’s book,

One understands the next step was all it took,

To unveil each life’s phases of light and love, its hardships, and its lessons to grow.

All in all, just one step at a time, turning the page, then with courage and a bold mind, we do it one more time.

Seeking life here and now, living with all our heart with each step in its time, embracing all encounters and moments with confidence and belief – this is your life’s script through climb after climb,

The sum of chapters is your life by design.

*

Breathe in and breathe out,

Take a moment to just feel and be,

You’re your life’s designer, don’t you see?

*

Breathe in, breathe out.

Turn another page and step into a new chapter of your life,

You found both your purpose and your light.

Breathe in and breathe out,

A bright future seems brighter with time,

But it’s not until you look behind, that you see just how big of a climb, time after time.

*

Breathe in and breathe out,

Take the step and turn another page,

Dare before you’re old of age.

Here is your sign to write your story, create your life’s design,

In the end, down the line, it’s up to you if your book is about the broken, or the divine.
