MindsEye of Success

by William S Cottringer — Read all 146 poems by William S Cottringer

Success is mainly learning to see clearly in answering the what, why and how questions in life. You do this best by seeing and being your signature self.

MindsEye of Success


  


The elusive grand prize we all seek—


To have happiness, success and peace.


Ah but the winding, trying  path;


The bumps, bruises and broken bones.


They never seem to cease.


 


Oddly, all you have to do is see;


To see what you are looking at.


Yet what you really want is to be free; 


From this and that, your waring split self;


  Good and bad self trying to be friends.


 


Finding your best self is the answer.


Finally knowing who you really are,


Learning how to gracefully give and take,


Listening more, using your special gifts;


Helping others find their grand prize.


 


In the end, all you are trying to do


Is see what you are looking at;


But that is all you are doing for now;


Or at least until you learn how,


as you get closer to what you see.
