To feel good you've got to think good! A positive upbeat happy outlook goes a long way to rejuvenate you not just emotionally, but also alters your demeanor, your expression...it makes you 10 times more attractive! And the never say die attitude is one of the strongest premises to build on your emotional strength!
here's a poem I penned a few months ago that tells you what I mean in a better way...
A little seed carried away
Flying - flying... at the mercy of strong
winds
And here she was dropped in a verdant
forest
Trees everywhere...trees towering into the
sky...
Their thick trunks so huge... nothing to
see beyond...
Grass so green and tall you couldn’t see
the wet black slippery ground below
Why
are you here? ...The trees asked. Why are you here?
Neither will you grow...
Nor will you flower...
And no fruits in you, that taste sweet and
luscious
We have them! We are manna of the forest
You... a diminutive seed...Hah!!!
Go sit in clay pots that decorate people’s
houses...
This forest is for us... monarchs of flora...
The seed was sad
She cried
Silent tears rolled down her smooth raindrop
shape and moistened the ground...
At night, the eerie winds scared her... the
animals hurt her...
There she lay forgotten, neglected,
trampled by animals, ridiculed by towering flowering shrubs...
She was powerless and unprotected by the
very forces that had flung her there...
But one fine day in her sleep, a gentle breeze
seemed to whisper in her ears... “Stay, I will come for you!”
The first raindrop of monsoon bathed her
and crooned, “Little one, live on!”
A tiny ray of happiness flickered from her
very soul... It permeated her being...
She suddenly felt stronger, she suddenly felt
hopeful;
She looked up as the gentle drops of rain
splattered her
And then it happened!
A shiny green shoot leaped out of her being
in search of sunlight... and the little seed settled firmly into the soft moist
earth...
And from that day on she feared none... the
big plants laughed, she laughed too
The trees scoffed, she didn’t mind them too
And the days rolled into weeks... the
leaves spread out... taller...taller
And the weeks rolled into months... the
plant became stronger ... stronger
And today here she stands, her huge yellow
flowers flirting with sunlight... their gentle swish... a dance to catch the
glistening sunrays
The trees stared in awe... The seed had
stayed on...
Now she lived on... a pretty yellow diversion,
The Sunflower Queen in the green!
