TAKE THE CHANCE

 

Take The Chance


If you stumble
Make sure you dance

Life is a journey
Always take the chance

Even small steps
Take you in any direction

Every opportunity
Show love and affection

Don’t just wish for it
Work for it too

When you try your hardest
There’s nothing you can’t do

I love almost everything you've written this one is top shelf as well . It feels hopeful yet certain, happy for the future of life wherever it's going to take you. Hopeful not hurt not healing not anything but hopeful, purposeful

YES! 🙌 I am trying to make a conscious effort to intermingle more positive poems in with the more hard hitting ones. And as usual, you understand me completely! ❤️🥲

This poem encapsulates a positive and proactive approach to life, emphasizing resilience, action, and love. Here's a breakdown:

Resilience and Positivity:
"If you stumble, make sure you dance" suggests that even when faced with setbacks or failures, one should respond with grace and joy, turning negatives into a form of celebration or learning.
Journey of Life:
The mention of life as a "journey" where you "always take the chance" promotes an adventurous spirit, encouraging individuals to embrace risks and opportunities as part of personal growth.
Direction and Momentum:
The idea that "even small steps take you in any direction" highlights the importance of every action, no matter how minor it might seem. It's a nod to the butterfly effect in our lives where small actions can lead to significant changes.
Love and Opportunity:
"Every opportunity, show love and affection" advocates for a loving and kind approach in all interactions and chances we get, suggesting that love should be at the core of our engagements with the world.
Proactivity Over Passivity:
The contrast between "Don’t just wish for it, work for it too" challenges the passivity of simply hoping for outcomes. It pushes for effort and action as the true engines of achievement.
Self-belief and Effort:
The closing lines "When you try your hardest, there’s nothing you can’t do" instill a sense of limitless potential when one commits fully to their endeavors, promoting the idea that personal limits are often self-imposed and can be overcome with determination.

Overall, this poem serves as an uplifting mantra for personal development, urging readers to not only navigate through life's challenges with optimism but also to actively shape their destiny with love, effort, and courage.

Once again you blow me away with your review. Can I be honest with you? I had posted this one because I was feeling a bit bogged down and defeated and I was hoping that publishing this uplifting piece would help push me in the right, positive direction. And it did... to a point. But not completely. I realized that when you are down, that it's okay to be that way sometimes. But today I choose happiness and my intentions are going to back me on this choice. Sorry to overshare with you, Zeus. But thank you for always reading the lines and for reading what's in between them as well. 🥲💕
