Lose Yourself

People talk of finding themselves,
but I suggest you lose yourself. 

When I looked within a space of solitude,
I found lots of things that I thought I was –
ambitious, passionate, driven, intelligent,
stubborn, opinionated,
fearless,
kind, loving, compassionate.
But I was none of these things. 

These words,
these labels,
they were merely ideas that I had about myself,
about this character I was playing
who had been programmed by life.

Everything is fleeting,
unless you grab a hold of it
and start using it to define yourself –
I am this.
I am that. 

When you are in fact everything…

You are the universe dancing to a song
that never ends,
you are timeless,
you are nothing that words can capture.
