We can choose to see an upset as an obstacle
Or consider it an opportunity to open another door
A storm can cause destruction but can also be a precursor
Of new life and growth after the old one perishes
We always have a choice in how we view our lives
Our vision can be of the wonderful that brightens the world
Or we can be overwhelmed with the dark of the horizon
I don’t mean to just pacify you with empty platitudes
But to show you a lucid dream that can very well be the reality
People ask, “What is the meaning of life?”
For me, it represents a fixed time allotted to me
That I can either spend in a way that benefits only me and mine
Or I can spend that time in a way that helps those around me
So that when I pass away, the deeds I did would be remembered
With kindness and smiles!
In response to the following prompts;
YDWP;
3TC;
FOWC;
RDP;
Word of the day challenge;
Living our best lives;
Wow…A storm can cause destruction but can also be a precursor of new life.
This sounds so hopeful.👌
