[The Real LJ Idol Season 10] Week 4: Not What You Do but How Do You Want to Feel

Not What You Do but How Do You Want to Feel

Haven't yet figured out this year's goals
But I think I've figured out the feelings
Fierce yet flexible, flowing, creative, clear
Stretching, soaring but comfortable
Knowing these are
better intuitive guideposts
they're what makes the year feel good
And after the last year
where dreams suddenly came true
almost out of nowhere
combined with loss and fear
at the time of transitions
I know that what I need
is to set the foundations first
the things that will make
this cycle smooth and decisive
So I can see which way to turn
To be where I want to go
