Wise Words can come
From the mouth of a fool
It’s not what you say
It’s the things that
You do.
You can quote self help gurus
Till you’re blue in the face
But if you sit on your hands
You will stay the same place.
At the end of the day
You must step out in faith
You can’t walk on water
If you’re still in the boat.
It’s all very well to wear a big grin
When life is basically good
But it’s harder to grin
When your life gets rough
And no good reason you should.
Sometimes the hurt is not just in your head
And things are genuinely bad
There are reasons for pain
So look for the root;
The place where you hurt,
If you want to get well again.
Sometimes what makes you angry
Or even just out of joint
Is not the real reason you’re hurting
Or what’s going wrong in your life.
If you do the same things
It will happen again
So what are you going to change?
