The 7 Wars In My Head

(8 of 8)THE ENDING - The ChoiceIn my head two voices fight all day,One wants comfort, one wants me to find my way.One gives me an excuse for today,One gives me a future that will stay.So every morning, before the world awakes,I choose which voice the final call makes.I don't always win, but I still try,Because growth is not perfect, it's just not giving up the fight.

(7 of 8)7. Sharpen The SawCovey says, \Rest, renew, sharpen your blade,\My mind says, \No time to stop, hustle never fade.\One knows the woodcutter must rest to cut deep,One thinks rest is for the weak, no time for sleep.Use it today: Rest is not a reward, it's how you keep.

(5 of 8)Seek First To UnderstandCovey says, \Listen first, then you will be heard,\My mind screams, \No one gets me, not a single word!\One wants to hear the pain behind the speech,One just wants to scream and preach.Use it today: Listen to understand, not to reply on the breach.

(4 of 8)Think Win-WinCovey says, \Let both rise, let both win,\My mind says, \Why should I bend, let THEM give in?\One wants a table where all can feed,One counts the score of my own need.Use it today: Let one person win without keeping a score to save.

(3 of 8)Put First Things FirstCovey says, \Do what matters, let the first be first,\My mind says, \Scroll a little, quench that instant thirst.\One builds the future, stone by stone,One kills the time on my phone.Use it today: Do the hardest thing for ten minutes alone.

2. Begin With The End In MindCovey says, \See your life, see the end of the road,\My mind says, \Just survive today, drop the heavy load.\One draws a map so clear and bright,One just wants to get through the night.Use it today: Ask - will tonight's me thank me for this fight?

The 7 Wars In My Head

Be Proactive (1 of 7)Stephen Covey says, \Take charge, be proactive, lead the way,\My mind whispers, \They hurt you first, make THEM pay.\One wants me to own my sky,One wants me to just react and cry.Use it today: Before you react, breathe for five, then reply.

The Comeback Arc

1. AbandonedLeft on the street with no guide or map,I picked myself up and closed the gap.They said I was done, said I’d fall and break,I built from the ashes for my own sake.Storms tried to pull me under the tide,I learned to swim with the hurt inside.Scars on my back, but fire in my crown,They left me to sink. But I did not drown.2. UnbrokenThey tried to bury me under the weight,I turned the dir...
