INSPIRATIONAL VERSE

A LOT OF WALKING AWAY WILL DO YOUR LIFE GOOD

Walk away from arguments
… that lead you to anger and nowhere.
Walk away from people who deliberately put you down.
Walk away from the practice of pleasing people
who choose to never see your worth.
Walk away from any thought
… that undermines your peace of mind.
Walk away from judgmental people, they do not know
the struggle you are facing and what you have been through.
All away from your mistakes and fear,
they do not determine your fate.
The more you walk away from things that poison your soul,
the healthier your life will be.

~Dodinsky,
