In pursuit of
your life’s purpose,
define your worthy goal then boldly
step out on the path—

with fine tuned intuition
guided by reason
move.

Gracefully, unswayed,
and undistracted as
you push on through.

And while you do —

protect your essence, your being, your soul
so it is not stained or marred.
Although your body
will be wounded
and scarred.

This pain
is for sure—

yet it won’t last;
so after you rest,
show up
and give more.

Because bruises will heal
and burdens will fade.
And you’ll continue on
to find contentment
in alignment with
Nature's way.


So speak
from your place of earned integrity,
ready to give heroic words...

Speak life because anything less is death! ~ Sanjo Jendayi

...speak in
the right time.

Speak with joy
filling each line.
Speak with zest,
from your ‘good soul’
so that, yes,
they might
find...
life.

In the poetry of your purpose,
as you push outward
from your inner peace,
let reason guide your steps,
and let Love be
released
in each word
you speak.

With words, we speak to life; with intuition, life speaks to us. ~ Kim Chestney
With words, we speak to life; with intuition, life speaks to us. ~ Kim Chestney

Because you have taken
the time to align the arrangements
of vibrations—
speak and let them flow...
both inward and out…
…and in all directions,
let them know.
All of this is co-created with the Divine,
so in a message
of hope—

Speak, and...
Let.
It.
Resound.


For this is
the good life you look for,
and it is only here
where your fulfillment
will be found
.


Being a part of a community of like-minded people offers a sense of belonging, fosters collaboration and support, and encourages personal growth.

I wrote this poem after opening up Meditation this morning, and randomly turning to 3:12, which reads:

If you keep your divine spirit pure and blameless, as though this were the moment to give it back; if expecting nothing and fearing nothing, you are content to act in accord with nature and to speak with heroic honesty—then you will live. well. And no power on earth can stop you. Meditations 3:14

well. And no power on earth can stop you. Meditations 3:14

If you pursue the matter at hand along the straight path of reason, advancing with intensity, vigor, and grace, and without being distracted along the way;

if you keep your divine spirit pure and blameless, as though this were the moment to give it back;

if expecting nothing and fearing nothing, you are content to act in accord with nature and to speak with heroic honesty—

then you will live well.

And no power on earth can stop you.

These words especially rang truer after watching the powerful Chats With Masters interview with Steven Kotler, speaking of how he got started in his writing career.

Truly it is a blessing to be part of the Heroic community.
