Take time to notice - by Charlotte Riley, Being Truly Me 
 
greet each day with fresh eyes
take a moment
to notice 
  
to feel the ground 
beneath your feet
rooted safe and strong
  
to move forward 
with what you are doing 
knowing you belong
  
to not feel rushed
to take your time
discover your own wisdom
  
to not be small 
or dim your light
instead stand tall, be inspired
  
to find the courage 
to sing a new tune
stay in your lane, share your truth
  
to embrace your ordinary
don’t sell out for fame
be truly you, let others play that game
  
to learn what matters the most to you
that floats your boat 
and sparks joy too

to know in this life 
you have a purpose
the opportunities to discover it are abundant and endless
  
the adventure comes when you try and fail
and fail some more
only to learn that there’s another door
  
ready to open
waiting to knock
or find the key that fits, to unlock
  
the lofty ideas
that fill your dreams
your every moment of simply being
  
you’re not for everyone
and that’s ok
love yourself first, then give it away
  
one thing is true
run your own race
don’t try and keep with everybody else’s pace
  
take a moment 
to notice
each day
  
that being truly you, you can do what you love 
and give back to others
in your own unique way 
  
  

Another verse to hopefully inspire you and allow you some time to take a breath, slow down and know that your light is burning brightly and showing you the way.
