Life Is What You Make It

Open Highway

There are a lot of things we miss that we pass by
That if we could just make a point to see them would
Add tremendous value to our lives. Your problem
Is your gift. Any disappointments you have stem
From the notion that life is hard. That’s a falsehood
Life will always be what you make it. That’s no lie.

All the situations that push us back or knock
The wind out of us are the same situations
That have all the potential to move us forward.
What you can do about life cannot be ignored.
You can do much with positive affirmations.
When the blessings occur it should come as no shock.

No one is positive all the time, but it’s not
Impossible to see the value in every
Situation – to take what the world throws at you
And with your creative prowess turn it into
Your advantage. You are positive energy.
Your journey to fulfillment can be a straight shot.

Life’s greatest accomplishments were not always on
Some grand pedestal always cherished and admired.
They were built on the back of doubt, difficulty,
And hardship. You can transform negativity
Into strong expectation of what is desired.
You have your guidance system to rely upon.

Learn To Be Alone

Perfect Solitude

Alone time increases empathy. When you spend
Time with your circle of friends, you may get into
A ‘we versus them’ kind of a mentality.
Spending time alone truly will help you to be
More compassionate with all other people who
Aren’t in your inner circle. To all you’re a friend.

Solitude can increase your productivity.
There’s a reason why lots of authors and artists
Want to live in log cabins far out in the woods.
They can see that nature can deliver the goods.
Inspiration comes from everything that exists.
From the chatter of others you set yourself free.

People are social creatures, and it’s important
In our lives to have strong connections with others.
But it’s also important to spend time alone.
Of the many studies conducted, all have shown
That an increase in life satisfaction occurs
When you take time to be alone. Don’t say you can’t.

Simply sit and do nothing but take in the air.
The mind’s chatter will gradually dissipate.
For a day or so, stay completely out of touch.
Everyone will respect that you’re caring this much
About your health, which cannot be up for debate.
Of yourself you become much more deeply aware.
