Better Grow & Grow Better

The first step is knowing yourself

All your strengths and all your weaknesses too

Because you gotta know that to make it through

The next step is to accept yourself

All the talents and all the flaws

It’s nothing to hurry about, if you need, just take a pause

To learn to forgive is step number three

Not for others, but for you to be peaceful and free

Next is to learn to admit your mistakes

To apologise, just a minute it takes

Step five is to be good at listening

To be a trusted shoulder when their eyes are glistening

Next is to respect yourself and others

Accepting everybody has different shades and colors

Step seven is to set goals

To decide who you want to be as a person and your life’s roles

Next is to practice little acts of kindness

It brings ourselves and others, a bucketful of brightness

Step nine is to recognize opportunities to change and grow

Because change is a continuous flow

To embrace the journey is the most important step

It’s not just the destination that gives satisfaction and depth
