Stop, Look and Listen

Running faster, climbing higher
Doing more and having more
You've been obsessed with the race
But have you really thought if you're running on the right road
If your ladder is leaning on the right wall

You want to get there, you want it right now
But where is it that you want to go?
What is it that you really want to do?

Life is too short to want so much of that you don't need
To do more of what you don't love
To go everywhere and and get nowhere
To be somewhere you're not needed
To be needed but don't have the time
To have achieved yet not loved
To be someone you're not

You will always run around until you find your place
You will accumulate a pile unless you know what you want
You won't get there until you know where you want to go
You won't find what you're looking for until you stop

Listen to the voice, listen to your heart
Find your purpose and make a fresh start
Don't be disheartened by what others have to say
Don't compare and don't delay

Believe you'll find your place
Believe you'll have your peace
Life wasn't meant to be easy
Just love and enjoy your journey

Now be the best that you can be,
Xiela
