Anything at all, she said

B e whatever it is you’d like to be, the world is your oyster

Careful though, people will be unkind. They’re not to be trusted

Don’t stray too far from what you know,

Everything you need will come to you if you just believe…

Forget about what I said, you need to go out there and save the world

Getting caught up in the little things is what people tend to do

Hurrying from here to there in a bustle of mindless chatter

It’s sad really, and I have no idea what you can do about it

Just because you were born to save the world doesn’t mean you know-how

Kindness will win the day in the end

Loving the world as it is is enough, it’s okay to just Be

Make sure you’re happy. Be happy in the world, with the world

Now you’re a part of the solution, the answer everyone is looking for

Open your heart and smile, you’re only here for a very short time

Play. Laugh. Share and Be a clearer and clearer version of yourself

Quiet down when the world becomes too loud

Rest when you need it — believe it or not, Be-ing is hard, sometimes!

Stillness will bring you back to yourself. Joy is just on the other side

Tell of your adventures when you return, but take all the time you need

Understand that recharging is part of the deal, not a ‘problem’ to solve

Value the treasures you find within yourself, they are precious

When you hold them close, you’ll remember who you are

X-rays or not, they are the keys to your heart

Yes, I did forget the Y in the original article, and I don’t know why, lol

Zest for life is what they unlock

Final takeaways: When I first approached this challenge, I took a leap and just started writing. I thought it would be difficult but it was surprisingly easy! (leaving the Y off aside ;) )

I did just plain old get up in there with some hard things in my life in the beginning. I basically was just like, write. Let it out, even if it’s not pretty. And this is the end result!
