Patience visited me
And it reminded me 
That good things take time to come to fruition
And grow slowly with stability 

Peace visited me 
And it reminded me 
That I may remain calm through the storms of life 
Regardless of the chaos surrounding me 

Hope visited me 
And it reminded me 
That better times lay ahead 
And it would always be there to guide and uplift me

Humility visited me 
And it reminded me 
That I may achieve it 
Not by trying to shrink myself and make myself less
But by focusing on serving the world and uplifting those around me

Kindness visited me
And it reminded me 
To be more gentle, forgiving and compassionate toward myself 
And those surrounding me

Confidence visited me
And it reminded me
To not conceal or suppress my gifts and talents 
In order to make others feel more comfortable 
But to embrace what makes me me 

Focus visited me
And it reminded me
That other people’s insecurities and judgements about me
Are not my problem 
And I should redirect my attention 
From others back to me 

Freedom visited me 
And it reminded me 
That no one has control over my mindset, thoughts and wellbeing 
But me

And love 💗 visited me 
And it reminded me 
That I need not search for it in others
As it lies within me 💖
