When life presents its daunting trials
And challenges stack in endless piles
You stand at a crossroads, a choice to make
To dwell in shadows or let the light awake
The storms may rage, the winds may howl
But within the tempest, find your prowl
For every cloud that darkens the sky
Holds a silver lining, if you dare to try
Shift your gaze from the gloom and despair
To the opportunities that linger in the air
The power is yours to decide your fate
To nurture joy or let frustration inflate
Do you wish to dwell in anger's embrace?
Or let positivity light up your face?
The energy you choose to feed and grow
Will shape your path, this much you know
The glass may seem half empty, half full
But focus on the good, let it pull
Your spirit higher, your mood to soar
For happiness and health, choose more
Is being "right" worth the cost you pay?
Or is peace of mind the better way?
Choose wisely, dear soul, for you hold the key
To a life of joy and tranquility
Let go of the weight that drags you down
Embrace the change, wear a brighter crown
For in every challenge, a lesson lies
A chance to grow, to reach new highs
Life's a journey, a wondrous ride
With twists and turns, and waves to glide
Embrace the storms, let them refine
Shift your perspective, find the silver line
