For a better view of life, ascend to the upper floor,
stop focussing on what you abhor,
and dare to walk through another door.
Let in the sunshine, appreciate the rain,
remember the clouds always blow away and the world gets bright again.
Open the windows, breathe in the fresh air,
examine your surroundings and absorb all the beauty there.

Loudly sing and boldly dance
whenever you have the chance.
Find things that make you want to prance.
Spread positivity so your own and others' lives are enhanced.

Choose to be happy by following your dreams,
accepting that sometimes we must modify our schemes,
trusting we will eventually satisfy our true needs
when we give gratitude for all our surroundings, including the weeds.

Quash the diatribes.
Emit the positive vibes
that attract the tribes
that help you feel grateful to be alive.

Ignore those who are snarky and inane.
They can make you go insane.
Step up and be truly humane.

Examine, develop, and display your gifts.
Explore everything that gives you a lift.
Accept challenges, take a chance;
Listen to the music that impels you to dance.

Adopt an appreciative attitude.
Make this more than a mere platitude.
