Mental Shift.

Life deals with everyone differently
Stop taking everything on face value succinctly
Everyone keeps pushing through life boldly
Masking a lot underneath, putting their best foot forward
Life is for the bold, we all have it in us to act as a coward
You think you have the worst of it all with what you are going through
Until you listen to the issues others have to deal with
It's easier to brag about your dad's biggest farmland
Until you visit another person's dad's farmland as you take the humility pill
We have to keep pushing through life regardless of the happenings
Life mostly respond to pressure too when we hold on fast
It's about having the resilience and the courage that would last
There is no one with that rich or ugly past
We should be a primary character in our life's story, we play the cast
Nothing gets handed on a platter
It doesn't matter if you are a commoner or you matter
There is a place where we have to adopt the shift in mentality
Everyone will always talk, situations would always happen
Decisions might go against us at some point
It's not so much what others say but what you tell yourself when they are done talking
It's easier to feel that situations of life have you stalking
We mostly focus too much on the things that we are lacking
Forgetting to take into account the little things that we are adding
A mental shift starts with appreciation for the little things
Takes our focus off the problem to seeking solutions and feeling grateful
We all have at least one thing to be grateful for, stop feeling hateful
Situation of life happen to everyone in varying degrees, stop feeling shameful

Someone said we can't solve a problem with the same thinking we used in creating or viewing it. Life will always happen but we need to learn how to rise above it. It is not always easy though but we have to keep trying. Love this poem.

Thank you so much. Life will always happen. We can't stop it and we can't avoid certain things. We just have to understand it, have the right approach towards it and try to keep living.

It really happens sometimes but doesn't mean life isn't beautiful.

It is still, just a part of honing as to be better.

I absolutely agree. It doesn't make life less beautiful. We just have to see it as a lesson.

In the part you say, no matter what others say, I think you are absolutely right, if we want to live in peace, the first thing we must do is prioritize according to what is important to us, if we think about priorities of others, we will forget ours, in conclusion, our decisions are ours, the other people who make theirs according to their criteria. I hope you understand my point of view

I absolutely understand you, my friend. Others make decisions based on them, we should do the same too because our choice matters. We need to prioritize what's important to us. You nailed it.

This one is kind of Universal feeling.

This is a reality of things faced in life, a smiley face doesn't mean all is well as we never know what lies underneath the veil and when you think your problem is of the greatest heights you find others with theirs which surpasses yours.

Sad but true reality of life...

It's the reality of life my dear and we just have to accept it. We have to be willing to go the extra mile and stop taking most things at face value.

Easier said than done.
There are so many things that divide us, and everyone feels "threatened", even those who are the most secure and successful in their society.

We all suffer from "brain bias," which causes us to remember negative events more vividly than positive ones.

We all have the same tendency to blame others for misfortunes and to harbour resentment and hate toward those we mistakenly believe are to blame for our problems.

Only positive structure can guide us away from the dark side of our minds.

That's the whole point of the poem...having that positive structure and it would take a conscious effort to get to that point. It is helpful for us to start appreciating those little things...

It's not so much what others say but what you tell yourself when they are done talking

This is why we must never prioritize what others say about us, but live our lives pleasing ourselves. With this, we would have peace in our lives.

We should live our lives and enjoy the peace that comes with it. I've never bothered about what anyone thinks. It adds no value to me anyway. Thanks, KP.

Everything will not always go as planned in life, as we are hoping for the best, we should always expect the worse, we should always build the courage to face any challenges because the journey is not for the weak.

This was discovered in certain people, and they made it clear to everyone that they were going through a lot. They are not the only ones with problems, though.

We all have at least one thing to be grateful for, stop feeling hateful

God has provided for everyone, therefore we should always be grateful. Someone else's situation is another person's point of prayer.

Thank you for this wonderful post, I learned a lot. You are amazing!
