A Motto to Live By

When the world gets you down,
put things in perspective.

Move ahead in a positive way;
don't allow yourself to become mired
in a negative view.

See things for what they really are.
Don't let the little things get in the way.

Do what you can, however you can,
with the resources you have available
to you.
Don't sell yourself short;
you have the power within you
to change what needs changing.

Face the situation with the resolve
to remedy it; do what you need to do
to put it behind you.

Move ahead in the direction of happiness;
go for your dreams
and reach for your star.

And remember who's in the driver's seat:
you are.
