Changing Your Mind

Author: Antje Bothin
Year: Hope

Listen to the sound of silence
Discover your innate resilience
Learn from the lessons in life
Move forward, you will survive

Try, learn, grow and succeed
Small steps will give you speed
Do things differently, just a tiny change
Why not start with positive idea exchange

Find silver linings in everything bad
Show your coping skills, have perseverance to add
Notice the beauty of mental strength
You can move mountains, no matter what length

Be kind to yourself with compassion and care
Become empowered, energised and be aware
Relax, let harmony rule in every part
Feel invited to inspiring love in your heart

Achieve in life, yes, that’s right
Let your light shine really bright
Experience thankfulness and appreciation
With a proud smile and exaltation

Happiness is a decision
See the path of joy as your mission
Create passion and eye-catching pleasure
And you’ll find contentment with work and leisure

Like a golden star in the sky
It’s awesome fun to fly high
Enjoy the journey you're on
You never know what good is yet to come!
