We are always unpredictable We like to think we are invincible It seems kind of reasonable when I am feeling this way protected by the day This much I have to say Until we get down again Soon to rise It seems inexplicable They clearly thought we were incapable We think we are intellectual Somehow we made it okay Invested in the day it is the only way Watch us get right up again Everything here is incredible This time completely unforgettable Then we realize what we need the most Current success And a bright sky that glows Reasons to care and the future that flows
Everything that we know Builds up our reaction It comes down to the second Shows up in the instant
All of our experience And what we are doing Appears in the moment It arrives in who we are
We often walk into thoughts that we are thinking If we think that we know it It can take us very far
We may know right from wrong We are always talking There is no right or wrong This perspective is shocking
We have free will and create our own reaction But there is always an antecedent and we have our constant factors
Our placement in the universe When we start to think Determines everything But we still have to think
And recognize fair effort It is all that should exist Working for shared benefit No effort should be missed
Contributions to constellations
Synergy builds us up When we also take action It comes down to connection And each individual star
I realize that this is mainly a picture of the moon, but I don’t have a picture of the constellations and …. there at least a few stars here, if you look close?
All of our experience is filtered through our senses and brain. I would also relate conciousness and experience to the “soul” or our personal identity, aside from other scientific assumptions.
Our understanding builds itself within our very individual (but still connected) mind and through processing reality, including our internal needs and processes, our social circle, our environment, the media that we are exposed to and society in general.
So you may have a totally different view than me, but we will have to assume that we do share many similar perspectives, as we share a similar environment and similar make-up.
By exerting effort to learn to understand and share perspectives in life, by considering mutually shared and potentially shared angles, we gain more power to improve our shared space.
We achieve more When we give support We reach a goal With what we have stored * In the future There is another life We build it all today But we also Live life to the best Because it helps our good energy stay * We achieve more When we find support We get a goal Together we score * In the moment We have just one life We live it our own way But we also Impact all the rest So we hope that what is meant to be stays * Like wishes of riches in justice and wellness Accomplishments made When we have all felt this * Delicious provisions We must win unselfish Astonishment plays And we can all tell this * We achieve more When we feel support We set a goal No one gets ignored
Just some ideas: “Choosing” beliefs impacts our wellness and our understanding of the world. Boiling our beliefs down to truth can help us achieve in life. Patience and gratitude pay off.
Lots of choices Many voices We each decide what to believe * Truth is always How we take it Play it right and we will achieve * Develop a better understanding After first impressions That could be bang on And improve our life Or at least maintain it We have to work it To be feeling fine * Patience rejoices Steady choices When we decide what to believe * Choose our always How we make it If we take our time We will achieve * Much more understanding Or open expression If we are thankful It improves our life With how we explain it We have to work it So we feel alright
What is next? Pass the test Another challenge So complex * What is next? Please no hex Don’t need more chaos So hard-pressed * To get through with no stress is always best * What is next? Just the best We have good balance We are blessed * What is next? Heaven’s quest To get more days off God confessed * We only get through with enough rest Plan each project For the best * We often work through anything And treasure whatever is left Some projects may have no warning Keeping our senses is always best * Top projects involve working With crafts and tunes and rights Projects can be all morning some afternoons and nights Projects can be a sure thing More heavy duty Or light We use all of our balance To help our sun and moon stay bright * What is next? All the rest For much more pay-off Good moods protect
The poem reminds me of award-winning research that I helped with.
In 2016 our multi-University team published on “Effective self-management strategies” (in mental health).
Qualitative research.
Delphi consensus, a panel of experts, (doctors, nurses, counsellors, caregivers, people with lived experience, etc.) rate stategies across multiple surveys to develop consensus on effectiveness of strategies, (drawn from exhaustive literature review, interviews and multi-media research).
We determined the top strategies. We also did a thematic analysis. Many conclusions could be drawn.
Relative to this poem, and a relatively unique finding, to be statistically measured, is that one of the top strategies to achieve mental health is to maintain HOPE. Of course, maintaining physical health and other strategies are also key to mental health, but it was somewhat groundbreaking to statistically identify the value of hope.
Open the door Never close it We have the presence of mind To stay more focussed * Sometimes it’s hard work Just to show up We have to get through the grind So that they know us * Status quo Seems so robust Change is constant The future grows up * Maintaining a vision can be a challenge Developing a system Helps us balance If we put more thought into our choices We can improve perspectives Share our voices * Answer the door Please don’t close it Just keep the presence of mind Because we chose it * Sometimes ideas Seem to blow up But there are some that we find That always show up * Steady flow Never throws us Stage that’s current Each day is hopeful
Just prove our life When they refuse to believe it There is so much to do When they just will not see it * We all have our occupations Some do work harder Some work smarter Some might be on a bright Well-deserved extended vacation * We deserve to retire Or be newly hired * We are all occupied in some way In this big equation Every single day Some concentration To make our way Without hesitation * Improve our life So they will have to believe it There is so much to do We can learn to achieve it * We all have our occupations For some it’s harder Some get farther Some always have to fight To be served By our most fair nation * We can serve the up-higher Not be unduly fired * We are all occupied in some way To avoid frustration Every single day Practice meditation It can be great To avoid escalation * We choose a calm way To embrace The hard day The physical labour And Mental distress We work though it with calm angles To pass the test Then charge through with energy that works out for the best * Find proof of life When we all start to believe it
Most of the time, I maintain reasonable content and acceptance… gratitude.
By maintaining this attitude, I get through with solutions and answers.
Most of the day I feel okay At least okay Making my way * Other times I still feel fine Most always fine Deep in my mind * The world out there Stays out there Until we care We hope it’s fair * We have to care * Most of my life I feel alright Most times alright Finding insight * Other hours I use those powers Most of my powers Current views tower * The stars up there Are always there Sometimes we care When we are aware * Truth be known We are on our own With patient views That consider the angles Build webs that don’t tangle Holding tight We feel fine Most surely fine All of the time
