Charles, Dinah Chancellor, Ju From $67 Mervat Abdelhak Ph.D., Ellen Jacobs, Mar From $61 The Bottom Line ____________________ Many years Many crushes No success stories. What is it I’m looking for? How can I ask for more, When I already have so much? What you want What you think you need What you get Are these ever the same thing? Pessimism Constantly, actively, searching for more Not realising you’re truly lucky to have all you’ve got Optimism Seeing how blessed you already are And knowing the rest will come, one day The former is depressing, the latter, satisfying Which would you rather be? I know my choice Opportunities do not always have to be sought out Sometimes, they are just thrown at you Wisdom is knowing which to take and which to leave From around the world The cry rings out “Here I am, come and find me!” You are not yet ready Or you would not be waiting The right thing can only happen at the right time When times look bleak It is not what you are searching for, but rather what you already have That will get you through Friends Family Beliefs Count your blessings Lean on them when you cannot stand for yourself For one day, they will need you to be the strong one The weight of the world is not yours to carry One person cannot handle that burden But look at the weight of your own world Look at what you have Who is around you And how they can help If you care about your friends Would you not want to help them In their time of need? So why not let them Do the same for you? Sometimes, it's okay to be selfish To rely on others Life CAN suck Sometimes, despite all the good you have Nothing seems to go right There is no such thing as a small problem Because we have a tendency to carry these around And not let people in People who could be helping us And even the smallest problem grows The longer you shoulder it A true friend is always there Always understanding Let them in Let them help Because the ones who want to Are the greatest blessings you could ever ask for And you should feel blessed to have them
