When all those secrets come back
Don’t get mad because you told it.
When people call to collect
Don’t get stressed because you owed it.
Everything in your life you created it.
Either by karmic need
Or karmic deed
Thoughts, actions, and language
All shape a karmic seed.
Your goals are damaged from the beginning
Even with the words you speak.
“I’m too fat, I’m too tall”
“I’m not smart enough, I’m too short”
“I’m not ready, it’s too hard”
“It’s impossible, it will never work”
One thing is for certain
These are self-inflicted curses
That make you cast your own burdens.
Don’t use the language of skepticism or pessimism.
Know the difference
Between the spirit and the soul’s mysticism.
Then you’ll know
Never to internalize negative criticism.

Again, the poet urges us to take responsibility for our words, deeds and actions and to ignore the negative voices from within and from without.
