Stepping-stones....

Think of all obstacles as stepping-stones to Success.
We rummage through life's chaos and mess.
We stumble and fall.
And like babies wanna ball.
Instead of getting up and dusting ourselves off.
If you ask me that's doff.
We should take a step back and focus.
Life's riddles are not hocus pocus.
They are lessons.
One could say disguised blessings.
But we are 'know it all'.
And that arrogance is our down fall.
So stop your whining and pining.
Your self cantered star will stop shining.
Rather humble yourself.
Put 'Me' on the shelf.
Open your arms yes take a few chances.
Embrace life's challenges.

I know I commented already, Russell. I read the poem (saw your name) without knowing I had done so.

You are so darn right here. A real pick me up and I need to absorb more of your attitude instead of being a bawling baby.

You are way cool, my friend.
