Living Life's puzzles

My interpretation of life. I have just finished writing my memoirs and took these few passages from them.

To understand, life is life's puzzle
You cannot always control your life story
This was but a story of a heroine
Not the victim
She was a survivor, making a choice
Finding courage, to forge a new life
Leaving behind an old life

Grateful for many things in life
Now, would be numerable
A list may be long, but some simple,
They still can change your life,
Like changing your words
Can change your life
Feel, the vigour, feel the peace
Don't be afraid to feel happy
Keep moving on

Don't watch life from the sideline
Life can swoop up and swallow you
In many unexpected ways
Discover yourself, you are unique
In so many different ways
Discover your originality
Count yourself lucky, I do

Now accept an invitation to life
Banish negative self-talk
Many times destructive
Clean out the mental closet
No more hurtful words
You are intelligent

The past can hold you captive
Focus on the present, the future
Don't be afraid of the future
Live in the Now
And create new regrets
In the present and the future

Relax, enjoy, socialise!
You'll find a new lease on life
Old insecurities may creep in
Order them out, banish them
You made a mistake once, time to let go
Forgive yourself, make new choices,
Become a life long learner, in the present day

Find your sense of self being
Be loving, not prone to anger
Or reacting to anger, being kind does not make us week
Learn to be positive in our talk
Setting boundaries, in a loving way
Will make us stronger
.
Treat ourselves with respect
Some of us would never treat ourselves with respect
Care for one's self, it's not selfish
Be strong healthy and fulfilled, then we can support others
It is important to treat yourself well each week

Banish fear, try not to let it encroach on your life
Don't judge yourself, it comes from a harsh inner voice
Don't be frightened, it is a tremendous fear
Imagine a world, created of joy, instead of fear
Applaud one another for living joyfully


Awake each day, feel your whole life ahead of you
No matter what age, joyful adventures in your future
Challenge yourself, never be done with life.
No matter what age we are, dreams in life
With your feet firmly planted on the ground
With a positive, mental attitude
We can overcome anything life throws at us.

Author's Note

If I had not live the past 4 nearly 5 yrs I would've said "Your looking a life very passively"
But we can all come through the other side.

Thank you so much for your comment, I liked the outcome, even though it was tough putting it all together from my memoirs. It bit rough on my behalf.
