There is no definition for paradise
no rights and wrongs
and no boundaries that are restricting you
For some it might be a peaceful life on the beach
with a fresh summer breeze and the sound of the waves
as it places your mind in a feeling of happiness
For others it might be a 9-5 job, with consistency
and an evening filled with stories from your kids’ days
and bonding in family dinners
And I could go on and on with examples of paradise but
in reality there is no rubric or instruction guide
In reality, you decide what paradise looks like to you
which brings up the questions –
What do I want? What is paradise? But most importantly
What is paradise for ME?
And to figure that out, well
to figure that out, you need time and patience
but also curiosity
to figure what’s truly out there
and then for some there may never be an end
they can continue to go and go
and it might just feel like
Am I getting anywhere?
Do I even have a purpose?
And that’s the key
finding your purpose
and finding your true value
But, who am I to tell you
what you must do
or what is required
because there is no rule book
there is no step by step manual
Paradise is an idea of never ending creativity
that can be as easy as making a sandwich
or as hard as climbing a tree
Then again, for some climbing a tree is easy
and for others making a sandwich is hard
and that’s why there are no limits
and there is no
‘I have to do this’
or
‘I can’t do this’
because really you have the power to decide
what your paradise is.
