Take Charge

Reality is how we perceive it;

Make yourself the you that you need to be.

Each day is a gift if you receive it;

You should be thankful for each one you see.

 

Make each day the way you really want it;

Be thankful for each blessing you’re given.

Advice that is hidden in this sonnet;

When you control your fate, you are livin’

 

Embrace each sunrise the best that you can;

You can’t control other people’s actions.

Forgive, we are fallible; merely man.

You can control your human reactions.

 

You’re here for a reason you can’t debate;

You’ve survived each challenge up to this date.

this is very well spoken, great ideas. i aspire towards many of the goals laid out. im not victorious every day, but im getting better. some mornings i wake up rotten, but then remind myself that life is a gift and i get up and try to accomplish the goals i set out.
today was one of those days where i felt like giving up. reading this work has enlivened me. i know what i have to do now.
thanks for sharing this.
