Each of us, every day,
Life gives,
A tiny, unassuming,
Almost insignificant GIFT
It is the ability to choose,
To affect all that we do,
But if it is ignored,
It becomes a gift we LOSE

All of us are born with,
Knowing how to rise above,
Something that to which ATTENTION,
Is not paid enough of
We fall so far,
And so fast,
And we BLAME other people,
For all of our gaffes

When given an opportunity,
We for some reason refuse to LEARN,
And for those of us that choose that,
Our souls ignite and BURN
Passion is our blessing,
And also our curse it seems,
So many don't understand that passion,
Or exactly what it means

When we CHOOSE to rise,
We can truly do anything,
Too many choose to fall,
And to continue to scream
Those that fall are bitter,
They cannot accept CHANGE,
Their only goal in life,
Is to cause others to feel the same

We can rise above everything,
If we will only take the TIME,
Because only we can choose,
The future PATH for our lives
It is no-one's fault but our own,
If we continue to fall,
Yet when we STAND,
Many can be credited for our standing tall

I choose to RISE,
For I know it is right,
It is my life to LIVE,
My choice to rise above spite
This seemingly simply thing,
Is much harder than you know,
Because first we have to THINK,
Before we can GROW

We can either fall, or we can rise. the choice belongs to all of us, as individuals.

But always remember, the choices we as individuals make affect ALL of us, as a whole.

Think before you act. Think before you speak.

Everything we do has consequences.

But not all of them are bad. :heart:

That is simply beautiful! But remember, no consequence is bad, no matter how awful it seems at the time if you learn from it.
Each and every one of us is equally important in the development on consciousness. We provide the experiences, interactions and lessons for eachother in order to grow.
Your choice is whether to grow positively or negatively.

Keep up the good work, it's really impressive :-)
