Life By My Hands

My thoughts shape me My habits build me

My choices define me

My life will straighten out (Hah!) My thoughts shape me My habits

build me

My choices define me

My life will straighten out (Yeah!)

When I feed my mind trash,

I feel like trash

Emotions are not problems—they’re signals

Fear shows me what matters—I learn from it But I let the

fear of God be my anchor

Awe that steers me,

not anxiety that traps me

Anger tells me which boundaries were crossed

Anxiety means I’m stuck in the future It’s a reminder

that I need to come back to the present

Motivation may spark change But habits will change my life

When I change my habits,

everything shifts

(Hah!) My thoughts shape

me My habits

build me

My choices define me

My life will straighten out (Yeah!)

My past is a chapter,

not my whole life

I learn from it,

then stop living there

Whenever someone triggers me,

I pause

That trigger is a mirror

Showing me what’s still unhealed inside of me

The only real power I have is me and my choices

Take the plate off

Take the pledge—take the BFF pledge

It’s simple:

My thoughts shape me

My habits build me

My choices define me My life will straighten out

Say the pledge out loud

Let my brain register it

So my heart can do what I said out loud I say:

I pledge to be nonviolent,

respect my body, and perfect the earth

My thoughts shape me My habits build me

My choices define me

My life

will straighten out

Take the pledge out loud I pledge to be nonviolent,

respect my body, and protect the earth

Make it a daily pledge

Guides you to make the right choices

That’s all

(soft,

certain)

Shape me.
