~~~Life's Challenges~~~

Sometimes the world appears

To be spinning out of control.

Sometimes there seems to be no end

To the distressing news.

Sometimes it feels like troubles

Are being piled on top of troubles.

Sometimes it can look as if there

Could never be a way forward.

And yet, that way forward is always

As close as your next thought.

For no matter how difficult and

discouraging

Life may have become, with each

dawning moment,

A new world of positive possibilities

opens up to you.

From the darkest depths of despair,

Hope does indeed grow and take flight.

Out of difficult situations,

new strategies emerge

For creating real value and spreading

life's goodness.

Remember that the future does

not have to be

An extension of the past.

For you can act right now to create

That future out of the abundance

of positive possibilities.

Life always has its challenges,

And those challenges are what

enable you

To bring real value to life.

Whatever the circumstance,

Step boldly forward and

Choose to move the world

positively ahead.
