Optimism

                        OPTIMISM!

The tree 🌲  that stands,  towering in the sky,

Is optimistic,  do you know why? 

Although it's roots are pretty deep,  

But bcz of them,it never considers itself as cheap. 

It spreads it's benefit all around,  

And makes everyone, with itself,  bound!

It becomes a friend of sun & sky, 

With its trunk,  that always towers high. 

Thus,it becomes an epitome of being optimistic, 

By considering it's positive qualities,  through thin & thick!  

The tiny ANT 🐜 ,far away from all that's high,                   

Is optimistic,  do you know why? 

Its tiny self has no fear of being squeezed under some foot, 

But, by relentlessly working,  how much effort does it put! 

By not feeling inferior,and head held high, 

It feeds its family,by the courage with which it stands by! 

Thus,it becomes an epitome of being optimistic, 

By considering its positive qualities,  through thin & thick!  

If nature can have such positive thoughts, 

Why can't they, in humans be brought? 

The SAGES, who pray high up in the mountains,

Yes, from negative thoughts,  they do abstain! 

They don't bother the hardships they face,

But only see God's path, which they are destined to trace. 

Thus, they become an epitome of being optimistic, 

By considering their positive qualities,  through thin & thick!  

Instead of seeing a glass as half-empty, 

See it as half-full, though not abundantly. 

Instead of considering life as full of troubles,

Enjoy it as the happiness a child gets on seeing mere bubbles!!

Instead of staring at a lemon 🍋 and watching it degrade, 

Squeeze it, and make lemonade! 

Instead of blaming others & cursing them, 

Look in the mirror, you'll see the most precious gem!
The most precious gem 💎 ! 

                     So, stay positive, 

                  Don't think negative, 

              Change your perspective, 

                  Find an alternative, 

And your life will soon bcm productive❤
