Measurements

 
I cannot measure my happiness by my monetary make up;
the make up of my happiness speaks, touches and feels.
I cannot measure my wealth by my assets;
my greatest assets have lined more than just pockets.
I cannot measure my beauty by the weight on the scale;
the scale has never once told me I was beautiful.
I cannot measure my worth by the weight of your words;
your words will never lift my worth.
I cannot measure how in touch I am with the world by my social media reach;
my social media has never reached far enough to touch my skin.
I cannot measure my success by what the world says,
because the world says I am not strong enough – smart enough – pretty enough – thin enough – rich enough – creative enough – working enough – bleeding enough…
I cannot measure my life in years;
years have not made my life.
I will not measure my dreams by the approval of others.
The approval of others doesn’t take flight and light up the sky . . . my dreams do.
 

I wish everyone a beautiful and safe New Year’s. I hope 2012 is something wonderful for each of you.

May the new year find worth, closure and the ability to say “I am enough.”
