We Can Undo What We Create

No matter how treacherous life,
no matter how dire our perceived circumstance,
we placed ourselves there,
and we can get ourselves out,
it is simply a system of cause and effect;
so don’t give up and see your status as hopeless,
because there cannot be a question without an answer,
and you are capable of far more than you think.
Circumstance does not follow us,
but it is there for our learning,
and refusing to face it
gives cause for escalation, not solution;
so treat each circumstance with faith and hope,
knowing that we can overcome adversity,
it is simply how we perceive it
that either inhibits or hastens resolve.
We so easily err to the side of panic
when faced with difficult circumstance,
yet we subconsciously give weight to that obstacle
by thinking it is immovable,
thus creating a predictable failure,
when instead we should know everything can change,
it is our attitude that determines outcomes,
our perspective that gives us strength.
Life is a smorgasbord of challenges,
each one a lesson in waiting,
and how we see those challenges
is half way to overcoming them,
the other half is the learning of truth,
about who we are and the reality of the world,
each lesson a revelation,
each truth a key to living a full and joyous life.
If we can only invest the energy
of panic, blame and anger,
in calmly seeking solutions, learning
and being kind in our decisions,
each circumstance would right itself in moments,
and the pain of our struggle
would suddenly seem like
a small bump in the road.
Be aware, and above all be kind
in all your responses and undertakings,
for that alone will change everything.

Kindness is a key to understanding and easier living . How we see and react has a huge effect on resolutions, or outcomes. This is yet another beneficial message to humanity, Tony. Well done.
Much appreciated Phyllis, glad you enjoyed it my dear friend. Take care
