Adversity

by Linda Hillier 25/02/2013

Life is full of this

every day new paths appear

Which one to take?

Straight ahead maybe the clearest

or to right should my foot steps go

yet again maybe i need to follow the left

who knows?

each one will have its own challenges

different choices to make

so I blindly stumble each way

choices, choices so I choose

not knowing my fate

only that it will define who I am

Adversity

I laugh in ur face

knowing full well

I am as I am

Have had a hard time to move on. I find myself raging over things done to me over 30 years ago. It seems no matter what we choose, there are negative consequences that come. There are also positive things too. The ability to laugh at yourself perhaps is the best medicine.

sry to hear that. U have to let the past go otherwise it chains u and makes it impossible to move. Try to set some goals
1/ daily goal something easily achieved
2/ weekly goal
3/ monthly goal
then increase both hardness and lenght this way hopefully u will leave the past behind Thinking of u
