Turning away from the world
and toward your own happiness
is the path to authenticity
Sarah Ban Breathnach
I get tired of being told what to think
What to buy
What to wear
Don't you?
What would happen if we all just decided to be who we are?
If we turned off all of the noise going on in our heads
and listen to our own voice
that would be awfully nice
you could be you
and I could be me
and we could be we
I know I would like you
remember
and that's poetiquejustis
Don’t love
the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world
squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in
the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself,
wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just
isolates you from Him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting
is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.
1 John 2:15-17
