You Never Know You're Amazing

 

It just always proves itself to be true

The dynamics of everyday life

Like seeing yourself go from the sky

Back to the ground

And back up to the sky again

Rocketing at a high-paced heart rate

Drastically changing

And back to your nature of slowness

And every day you decide to go out

Of your house, of your room, of yourself

Is another chance you’re grabbing

Is another risk you’re taking

Because you’ll never know

What’ll happen to you

What’ll happen to those close to you

What miracle a day has in store for you

Or what doom it probably will present you

But each time you’re taking that risk

Each time you’re putting yourself out there

For risks and surprises to take you

You’re getting slowly braver

You’re getting used to facing fears

Facing bad thoughts

Facing other people

And most importantly, 

Facing yourself

The biggest enemy you have

Is within you

Because a threat is only a threat

When you perceive it as one

And when you focus yourself only on black clouds

Then you’ll start to only see the black clouds

Slowly, you won’t see the bright sun above you

Then your world will feel darker

And you think it’ll only always going to rain

But when you focus yourself only on the sun

You’ll soon get blinded

And you won’t see other things clearly anymore

And it’s probably warm, but you’ll still complain

That’s why life is a spectrum

That’s why life is dynamic

That’s why sometimes you’re at zero

That’s why sometimes you’re at a hundred

That’s why sometimes you’re right in the middle

Or a bit more to the right or to the left

But no day is the same as the other one

So is every second of every minute of every hour

Everything changes

Including ourselves

And we’re not a stagnant actor of this life

We evolve too

Slowly or fast

We are all getting somewhere in life

Even when we’re currently not moving

There’s always your blood running inside you

And your thoughts passing by in your head

And voices and noises traveling in your ears

And you’re always working 

Even when you’re unemployed

And we are all, employed or unemployed,

We’re working multiple jobs at once unconsciously

If it’s not the job that brings money in

It’s probably a job you’re doing inside of you

Personal development, mental encouragement

Working on yourself is a hard job, too

Sometimes even harder than the job you can see

In that sense, I do believe in things I can’t see

Everyone is struggling sometimes

Sometimes more than other times

And everyone has their ups and their downs

Their zeros and their hundreds

And exactly that is why we’re all alive

And that’s exactly why it’s important

To respect, to care, to help each other

Because you never know the reasons

Of why somebody got out of their room today

Of how somebody managed to finally get out

Of how somebody woke up this morning

Of what happened to somebody last night

Of why somebody cried themselves to sleep

Of why somebody felt depressed

Of why life sometimes feel too hard to handle

And because you will never know

Whether somebody will go out again tomorrow

Whether somebody will even wake up again

Whether somebody will sleep for the last time

Whether somebody even still wants to live longer

Whether somebody is still strong enough to continue

Or whether life has taken the best out of somebody

But every step somebody bravely takes every time

To move forward with time in their lives

Is to be appreciated and not to be taken for granted

Being kind to others and to ourselves is important

And it doesn’t hurt to be and do good to others

Because you never know

Maybe your smile could change someone else’s day

Maybe your kindness helps someone to live

An hour, a day, a month, or a year longer

And believing that life is inevitably dynamic

Who knows, maybe tomorrow is going to be better

Maybe good things will still happen

But in order to find out, you have to stay

A little more, just a little more

A step more, just a step more

A day more, just a day more

Until you’re strong enough to get back on your feet

And making bigger steps feel more possible

But until then, take your rest

Good job for today

Good job for going out today

Good job for making your steps today

You’re amazing

You really are
