To be amazing

What it means to be amazing

To know that we are all human,
And we have the capacity to do good and evil.
To respect that fact, and to expect both from people.

To see the good in a person, and focus on that.
To see the evil in a person, and handle it in a way that doesn’t set you apart.

Accepting betrayal with a smile.
Knowing that it teaches you one of the many lessons in life,
And being smart enough to learn and make the experience worthwhile.

Accepting setbacks, and creating solutions to move forward.

To see a woman in love with you,
Live with another man because of current circumstances.
To look into her eyes and see that she’s scared to admit that it’s true.

Then to understand that it’s her choice to make.
She knows what she wants and what is at stake.

The risks, the consequences, the price of her freedom.

Going against her own will, she makes the decision,
To leave you and do what she deems necessary.
But in her mind she knows that you did the unique.
You entered her heart, and made it your sanctuary.

You met her and changed her for the better.
And told her that she is special and what anyone else says doesn’t matter.

You gave her self-confidence, and a high level of self-worth.
As if you knew her for a long time, even before her birth.

To experience all this, and still have love towards her.
Smile when you see her, and enjoy her company.
Because you know that life is too short to waste being negative.

To stand tall against negativity,
And entrench yourself in positivity,
That is what it means to be amazing.
