Chapter 23:
Be Your Best Boss
Best Interest
This is a song about how we (to be clear: me) can be so unkind to ourselves when we stumble and fall. And yet, it’s a huge opportunity to treat ourselves more kindly, to let more light in. It makes getting up after the fall so much easier.
Best Interest by Brandon Wilson
I don’t have my best
Interest at heart
Some of these
One of these days
I won’t be
Be so hard
Most things fall apart
Not much is always
When the cracks
Split and break
That’s when things
Get sideways
I can be so mean
The record on repeat
All that I
Should have done
Everything
I got wrong
If I could
Be just a touch kinder
Maybe I
Could let some light in
If I could
Zoom out much wider
Maybe I
Would see it’s alright
When If all
So getting up
Wouldn’t be so hard
The sun comes up again
The lilies soak it in
I feel the warmth
On my face
This is a
Brand new day
I take my time before
Stepping out the door
Remind myself
Of my path
All of the love
That I have
If I could
Be just a touch kinder
Maybe I
Could let some light in
If I could
Zoom out much wider
Maybe I
Would see it’s alright
When If all
So getting up
Wouldn’t be so hard
