Three Pieces

Three pieces today I have read,
One inspirational two left me shaking my head.

A mirror reflects what's plain to see,
A person should project the best they can be.

A sound bite that crumbles on scrutiny,
Is not the way to define 'happy'.

Don't sell yourself short, expect and ask for more,
Never fear disappointment behind a closed door.

If you deserve better, do not be scared to complain,
The purpose is to improve, not to cause pain.

Do not judge on shallow attributes of birth,
But always judge others on their merits, that's what they're worth.

When the trials of life can seem too much to bear,
Thankfully one Opussian has wise words to share.

Lap it up, drink it in, mark my words and be warned,
Offer advice that is positive, lest you be scorned.

Reach down inside to the heart of your happiness And break down the walls that are holding you back- Walls of fear, the familiarity of failure- They will certainly crumble if you attack.

Courage And Determination - 224

It takes a little courage, and a little self .... control. And some grim determination, If you want to reach the goal It takes a deal of striving, and a firm and stern-set chin.

Take Control

Take control of destiny, Step out from the gloom. Find a self-help remedy, To banish impending doom. In pity do not wallow, Don't let your soul decay. Better days will follow, The bravery of today.

The Every-Day Hero.

You don't need masks, Or capes, Or gloves, To be a super hero. You don't need powers, Sidekicks, Spotlights, To get where you want to go.

Be You And Be Proud

You can't be a hero When heart is set in place. You can't live the life that you dream If your fears you cannot face. You cannot show determination If it's hidden under tears.

Master

I'm the master of my destiny. Just been letting dumb shit get to me. I won't let it take the rest of me. Nah, that shit ain't affecting me. I'm the master of my path, Time I loosened up and laughed.

@velvetkisses ty for reaffirming my faith in Opuss πŸ‘

@sarahgamal never.. But the clues are there πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‚

@Burrfoot ahhhh ok. I agree abt @velvetkisses πŸ‘

Totally@sarahgamal ! Whereas the popularity goes to one that dwells on negativity πŸ˜’

Now you've got me wanting to read back through today's posts

@patdolan83 πŸ˜‚ the truth is out there

@Burrfoot fill me in mate please

Sorry, good piece this one mate. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ»

@leelee101 @Burrfoot I am missing the clues😳😳😳 need help here

@sarahgamal @leelee101 @Burrfoot me too 😳 I think I may know one!

@sammielee46 do tell! I've been busy at work and have missed the excitement! πŸ˜‚

@leelee101 just a wee xfiles mini rant with a dollop of praise πŸ˜‰

Mirror Mirror on the wall... No idea about the others lol. Good piece though πŸ‘

Hope mine wasn't a shake of the head 😳

The praise is for @velvetkisses 's post, the scorn is for top of the day + one of those semi life affirming type pieces that look like they mean something positive, but really dont... Something like 'don't complain; don't expect; don't judge' .. IMO this advice does not = happiness.. But it's just my opinion πŸ˜‰ I usually keep it to myself πŸ˜‚

@Burrfoot @Jamtots fair do's Burr. Thanks for the info gents πŸ‘

@Jamtots @sjw πŸ‘† and both you guys have my respect as responsible authors .. Maybe respect is a bit strong πŸ˜œπŸ˜‚

@Burrfoot Ohhhhhhh there was a heated conversation in the comments which I enjoyed more than the quote. Have to applaud ur responses πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Lmao! When do you ever keep your opinions to yourself πŸ˜‚

@Burrfoot the comments were quite fun! πŸ˜‚ I'll catch this up later. πŸ‘

@sarahgamal πŸ˜‰ I make myself laugh sometimes πŸ˜‚

@sjw usually when I think there might be a chance I'm wrong πŸ˜‚

@leelee101 brightened up my day πŸ˜‚

@Burrfoot I just read the comments...your debates do so make me chuckle...you would be a great interrogator...πŸ˜œπŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ‘πŸ‘”πŸ‘“πŸ’ΌπŸ”
