Raise The Alarm!
Who made the rules of your life?
Is it your inner voice?
You do realize—there are no rules
Until you make a choice.
Choose to be kind.
Choose to be good.
Act in the way
You know you should.
But what way is that?
An unhelpful voice may question...
Not to help you—
But to consume your attention.
Remain aware of this trap!
For a negative voice has no charm.
Feel its poison creeping in—
Tripping your awareness alarm!
You are an angel.
You were born that way.
So listen to your moral compass—
And smile throughout today.
What's this all about?
🌱 Seeded by CJB today
Let me start with truth, as I always do:
I am pissed off.
Why?
Because my daughter is being attacked by her mind.
Don’t misunderstand me—my daughter is incredibly strong.
She has overcome so much and will overcome so much more.
She's already my hero.
But she has a dentist appointment coming up.
And the same part of the mind that we all have—
the one that lies—
was starting to throw anxious thoughts her way:
"I can’t go to the dentist."
"I'm going to freak out."
"Why me?!"
Let me take the spotlight off her now—
I had to mention her because I love her more than anything.
And when something attacks her, the dad-karma-police come out swinging.
But we all have that voice.
For me, it controlled most of my life.
Some days, it still tries to.
Thankfully—as my book will explain—
I’ve absolutely worked out what that voice is.
And I know, categorically, NOT to listen to it.
Imagine you're on a plane and the pilot collapses.
You grab the controls as the plane nosedives.
Air traffic control comes on the radio to help you land safely.
Your next steps are obvious, right?
Until, out of nowhere, a chimpanzee breaks free from the cargo,
tumbles in, and eventually sits next to you, whilst doing a poop—
oh, and grins!
With indecipherable gestures it looks like he is offering flying tips.
Would you listen to him?
As he somersaults twice, laughs, and picks his nose?
Hopefully not.
So why, in life, do we listen to the primal ego part of the brain—
where negative thoughts (I call them LIES) swell up
and try to color your entire experience of life?
This is why I’m pissed off.
I'm sick of that inner voice trying to destroy people.
Maybe you feel anxious about the dentist too.
Maybe you can’t leave your house today.
Maybe you’ve got an interview coming up.
What’s that LYING voice saying about it?
My poem “Raise The Alarm” is my creative reminder
of what you already know deep down.
The angel—your soul—knows this:
Nothing can harm it.
There’s nothing to fear but fear itself.
(Yeah, that sounds familiar for a reason.)
So please, build what I call soul awareness.
Let your internal alarm go off
the moment fear starts steering you away from life.
And yes—that includes going to the dentist.
As always,
Gotta grow 🌱
Lots of love!!
CJB 💚
