Courageous I must be,
take action for myself.

Bold I must be,
walk right through fear.

Focused I must be,
trusting the process.

Adventurous I must be,
the inner child living
the excitement she needs.

Creative I must be,
mind floating in her universe.

Healthy I must be,
separating food from emotions.

Kind I must be,
everyone is fighting their battles.

Friendly I must be,
so life can have meaning.

A lover I must be,
of myself,
life,
people I meet,
and places I see.
