Life doesn’t feel new and beautiful all the time. These poems about self-worth speak to that journey: it’s yours, after all. You’re here. That’s incredible enough. And that’s all the proof you need to start becoming the person you most want to be.

If it’s a change of pace you’re desperately craving, that’s a beautiful thing! Change is messy and can be disheartening at times, but it’s what we’re here to experience: EVERYthing. Here are some poems and notes to help you embrace what’s in the works.

If you’re tired of waiting for something or someone else, and you’re ready for something new, right now is your time. How you live your life from this moment forward is up to you. I have a few words of encouragement to keep you moving. You’re not meant to stay stuck in one season forever, after all.

In the name of love—that is, living a life you're deeply engaged with—here are three short poems about starting new as your best (or at least better) self. If you want your life to be different, then you need to connect your desire to the people, practices, and beliefs that mesh with this new reality.

Every single one of these affirmations for transformation is an invitation for you to keep moving. Pick your favorite and live by it so that when you get sucked into the rabbit hole of comparison or doubt or regret, you’re awake enough to see it for what it is: a messenger of change.

Through poetry, we enter life consciously, with clarity of mind and a steadier heart. If you can't write the poem, then be the poem. Read these short nature poems, penned with springtime in mind, to embrace whatever season you’re in - for a season that's brimming with whatever it is you most want and need.

This isn’t just a poem about creativity; it’s a poem *for* creativity. The intention here is to move inward and welcome something new to come through you and whatever work you're trying to do. A key to creating with delight and ease, whatever our work and “why” might be, is to be deeply, sincerely inspired.

Chances are, there’s something worth letting go for the sake of freedom and something new. There always seems to be something. In light of the struggle and what's bound to come after it, here are three simple practices for letting go and moving on — without losing the lessons.

Nature’s source of renewal is endless. Since this is a season where we can easily feel the warmth of the sun on our skin and the hope of new growth, these spring quotes feel right. No matter what season you’re in, remember that you're right where you need to be.

Read this short spring poem to celebrate your connection to every season (especially the one you're in right now). It might just wake you up to the flowers that haven't even bloomed yet, and the ones that haven't bloomed in centuries. When you're here, now, you're part of everything that has ever been or will be.
