Undoing the ‘Nots’ March 19, 2010

I found this poem/prayer on the Personal Life Media blog for a show called Inside Out Weightloss. I found it applicable to any journey toward a dream or goal and wanted to share it with all of you as a meditation for becoming all you’re here to be. I hope you enjoy it and pass it along.

Dear God,

Please untie the knots
that are in my mind,
my heart and my life.
Remove the have nots,
the can nots and the do nots
that I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots,
may nots, and
might nots that find
a home in my heart.
Release me from the could nots,
would nots and should nots
that obstruct my life.

And most of all, dear God,
I ask that you remove from my mind
my heart and my life all of the am nots
that I have allowed to hold me back,
especially the thought
that I am not good enough.
