Listen Up.

[Melvin Sokolsky]

The words 
you pay attention to
frame your world.

No matter how many times
you migrate to a 
new environment,
you carry your world 
with you;

the 
thoughts 
you repeat in your
 mind

and the 
attitudes and beliefs
you carry in your 
heart

continually follow
you
wherever you go,
season after season.

You don't have to look for 
a better place.

You just need to
manage the words
you allow 
into 
your world.

*

you cannot pay attention
every word
 that we hear on 
your 
left and right.

These words 
describe
where you are now.

These words 
frame 
your 
current condition.

They are spoken by 
people 
standing at the same level 
as you

and
 by yourself.

As human nature doesn't require
effort to be negative,

usually,
the words on your left and right
and even those from yourself 

bind you down
onto where you are
and 
ultimately,
slide you back
further.

What have those 
on your left and right speaking?

What have you
been 
repeating in your 
mind
and 
carrying in your 
heart?

They describe
the state of your world.

If you want to change it,
it's time to 
stop listening
left and right, 

listen up.

Incline your ears
to the words
of 
the people 
who are on 
higher ground.

Repeat 
those words in your 
mind

Adjust
the 
attitudes and beliefs
in your 
heart.

*

When 
your world
 becomes 
a better place,

the world
will become 
a better place.

*
