Hello everyone,
This week’s theme is “overcoming challenges”. This poem is comprised of some lessons I’ve learned in my life’s journey so far….
“Life hands us challenges
It’s in our power to overcome them
Be wary of running, waiting or jumping
Think things through
But don’t overthink.
Find safety in your core
Gather more from others
Even with the smallest steps
You will get lost.
When taking bigger steps
you may miss your destination.
Find the middle
But remember, swaying in the breeze won’t hurt you
Things only last so long
Walk through them
Around, under and over have their consequences
Smile
Make someone else smile
Tears are good too
You may have built walls
But your strength will tear them down
Open your eyes and your ears
Live in the moment
You deserve compliments
Setbacks happen
Be willing to change
Find inner peace
You have a choice
You have a voice”
