Can you imagine
challenging your self
to really begin to understand
in whatever ways you can,
that --
though you may not fully comprehend
how your mind really works
in regulating and influencing
your attitudes, behaviors,
urges and appetites--
and though
you may not be unfamiliar
with the forgetting of resolutions,
or promises you might make,
then later break,
in spite of best intentions --
you can allow yourself
to begin to appreciate that
though you may not
believe in your own potentials,
you can allow yourself
to wonder if you can
really fully grasp
how you can --
in your own time,
at your own pace --
begin to more fully have faith
in your own history
of being able
to meet new challenges,
and learn new strategies
to discover new ways
to accomplish new goals
and be able
to appreciate that
it is always
in your best interest
in spite of any reservations,
or particular frustrations,
to be able
to be your own best friend…
[pause]
And it can be helpful to remember
not to forget that
you are in more effective control
of your life when you can
better understand yourself
so that you can better
have your own best interests at heart…
