What obstacles stand within my way,
I will contemplate my problems and disasters,
But will not let them defeat me or even sway,

I will reach out for opportunities when they come,
And be there when someone needs a hand,
I will try so hard to be a better person,
When life is cruel and so very underhand,

I will make the best of what I am given,
No airs and graces will I ever show,
I will treat enemies with sympathy and kindness,
For we all need someone I know,

I will listen carefully when advice is given,
Even its something I may not want to hear,
I will do the same for others when they need it,
Because sometimes life is cruel and so unclear,

I will write down my feelings and emotions,
And always wear my heart upon my sleeve,
I am stronger for the freedom it has given,
What you see , is what you get I can concede,

So with courage, love and determination,
I set myself my own master plan,
To be just an average type of person,
By doing the very best that I can.

Fantastic & so positive,

All we can ever do is be the best that we can for ourselves & others ..... we shouldn't go far wrong with this philosophy
