It’s usually not discussed,
In the original draft,
Although, it is a very big piece,
Of everything you do, the energy behind,
Every dream or plan, to make them come true.
It’s your personal guiding light,
That keeps you inspired, wanting to achieve more,
During this life’s short stay. The one thing,
You do have control of, although without thought,
Can change instantly, or sway.
Depending on the situation, how you are thinking,
Or feeling, any time, night or day,
Your attitude can make or break anything,
Or keep you confused, lost time
If you have the right tools, to learn, and advance,
And always making up excuses, never to start,
It’s the attitude in your mind.
