" Only You ... "

“ ... Only you can make this world seem right

Only you can make the darkness bright

Only you can make this change in me

For it's true, you are my destiny

I understand the magic that you do

my one and only you ... “

~ The Platters ~ Only You ~

***

In a lifetime, we are bound to meet thousands of people.  Some of them we connect, others we won’t.  We make family, friends, enemies and if we are lucky, a companion to help us make it to the finish line.  Yet there is always something to remember ... from the beginning to the end, YOU ... will only always have you.  

We humans crave a feeling of belonging, a connection with those we interact with on consistent terms, yet remembering we will never be anything more than ourselves ... with only bits and pieces of those we surround ourselves with.  

Those we surround ourselves with ... people come in and out of our lives constantly, willingly or forced.   But are birthed alone and we die alone.  So only rely on you.  Not because you are a pessimist, but because when you do, you gift the world a better, stronger, healthier and wiser individual.  

When we have samadhi, constant attention, towards our goals and our purpose, we realize how capable we are of experiencing, doing, creating and achieving so much.  We are a whole single unit with infinite capabilities. 

... you are a mini version of the universe; the same laws that hold true for stars and galaxies hold true for you ... 

You and only you from birth to death ... so decide how you are going to live the rest of your life.
Take charge or wallow, take time to explore or hide, get to know who you are or keep up the image.  Because when it is you and only you ... you can ask you ... what you are capable of?  

Wherever we are in our journey ... as the layers come off and you begin to unravel, clarity arises, between who you believe you are and who you truly are.  And so, you meet yourself for the first time and realize that the answers you are looking for have always been within YOU.
Beautiful YOU ... from birth to death.
