The sun is shining and so am I

It’s okay to say you’re okay

I used to think it was selfish to tell yourself you’re okay. No longer. ‘Cause if you can

complement yourself, give yourself a pat on the back, then you will rejoice. You live with you

all day every day. You know your faults and your strengths. You see not where you want to go,

but where you need to go. You know your plans, and when those plans won’t hold water. You know

your joys and your woes, your successes and failures. If you should listen to anyone about the path

to follow, it’s you. But once you know the path, just go.

Don’t second guess, don’t procrastinate, don’t doddle.

Go forth and spread your wings of self-understand. Perhaps others will see them as a comforting hug,

a buddy to call on when the spare goes flat, or your keys go missing, or you get laid off.

Maybe your paths will continue together for a time, and you’ll make new forever friends.
