#POETRY: POSITIVE MINDSET Day 224: 5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday - Prompt: 40 % off
Not about the pain of yesterday
Nor the sorrow of the past
Nor the tears I wiped clean
Not about the troubles I had
Nor disappointment I had faced
Nor the inconveniences on the path
Not about my fear of tomorrow
Nor about the distress I bottled
Nor my breakdown when I fail
Not about the controversy that trailed me
Nor debates about my character
Nor the riddles left unsolved
Not about my predicament
Nor the dillema I'm in
About the peace I enjoy
The blessings I've received
The happiness I'm spreading
The smile on my face
The gentleness of my soul
The opportunities I've created
The sound health I enjoy
The convenience I cherish
About the grace I enjoyed in full
Without 40% off.
Often times, we disregard the positivity surrounding us. We neglect the present and focus on the past pains, our past struggles, the worries of yesterday thereby depriving us of the happiness that surrounds, the goodness of the people around us. We need to learn appreciating the present and live in the moment. Peace is never attained where hypocrisy rules. We have to be fully active in our daily activities and carry out routine tasks appropriately. Appreciate the now, while hoping for a better tomorrow.
I write this for the hurting souls out there, you keep struggling and wishing for more, without being appreciative of what you have at present.
Remember, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Thank you for sharing your poetry. It's good to spread positivity to everyone. If we can just appreciate the beauty and the goodness of everything, despite struggles and disappointments in life, we can find that there are so many things to be thankful for.
I also like when you said, "Carry out the routines appropriately." Sometimes I am guilty of this. I tend to procrastinate at times, so I end up being in a negative mindset because I had not accomplished anything, but the truth is, it is my fault. It's important that we carry out our tasks, duties, and obligations appropriately, in "the now" so we can have a better outlook to life and brighter tomorrow.
Sometimes, we procrastinate... Delaying things we should do now for later. Which results in more workload. I liked that you've owned and accepted it. It's a good way to moving ahead and stopping the process. Thanks for stopping by!
That's true. More workload for me. I am slowly changing my habits, otherwise, I am just causing too much trouble and stress to myself.
That's great. Self-awareness!

This is very touching and very true. Out worries often overshadow the positives that exist in the silent corners of our mind. We need to dig in deep and realise that the glass might be half full.
Very true!
