A Fearless and Powerful Masterpiece

May each of the burdens you carry
show you your strength.
And may you give yourself permission
to let them go.
May each of the trials you have endured
show you your perseverance.
And may you give yourself permission
to abandon them.
May your hardships
show you your resilience.
And may you learn to let these go.
The whittling knife
that shows up in your life
can either be given the power
to whittle you down to nothing--
OR to create a beautiful, fearless,
and powerful masterpiece.
And that choice is yours,
make no mistake.

May each of the trials
and tribulations in your life
reveal to you the courage in your heart,
the grit and tenacity of your soul.
May the burdens and hardships
allow you to see
just how incredibly amazing you are.
But, please be sure to let each one go
once you have seen the truth behind them.
