The Gift by John/Laughter/Amusement/Light-Hearted/Life's Idiosyncrasies/Humour in Life


 The Gift

 

Resident in one’s mind,

requiring only desire,

the gift to be amused,

at life´s idiosyncrasies.

I have two self-help stories available exclusively on
 Amazon, either on the Kindle or paperback, and I do
 hope that you find them interesting, thought-
provoking, and, most of all, enjoyable: -
 
This simply written short story is aimed at those who
 seek to understand themselves, and through
 understanding themselves comes a greater
 understanding of life. 
 
(as witnessed by his brother)
Much has been written about Jesus, and no matter your
 view on religion or Christianity, this person, whether he
 was as described in the bible or not, has singularly
 shaped, to a greater or lesser extent, the lives we lead
 today through his wisdom. There are many versions of
 the story, but there is only one truth, and is it not
 better to know the truth?
 
You are most welcome to visit my self-help youtube
 

And you will find an excellent read in this story by my son Colin, and it is here.

The Unsung Hero by John/Friendship/Courage/Unconditional Love/Quiet Determination/Bravery/Happiness


 

The Unsung Hero

 

In a world which seems totally mad,

and where good seems overruled by bad!

It takes a certain type to stand straight and tall,

one who’ll help you if you should fail or fall.

Knowing pain on their path yet with love in their heart,

they reaffirm one’s faith and hope in a fresh start.

With kindness and compassion, they go the extra mile,

whilst radiating a golden glow and a special sparkling smile!

 Oh!

 

Oh, did you know?

Two letters could sow,

all shades of gray,

´twixt pleasure and dismay!

Working Through A Mid-Life Crisis by John/Unexpected Change/Feeling Different/Feeling Overwhelmed


 

The Mid-Life Crisis

 

I cannot believe it has happened so soon,

and I feel as if I could howl at the moon.

I think I am in my mid-life crisis with how I feel,

what I held to be true has lost its authentic seal.

It is confusing and my world now feels upside down,

as my face struggles to hide my concerned frown.

I must know what is real and not a shadow of fear,

wonderful peace of mind will then be my friend and dear.

Self Doubt by John/Self-Confidence/Self-Awareness/Courage//Self-Determination/Self-Motivation


 Self-Doubt

 

In life we pass through dark places,

and it is all part of the great test.

It’s not easy when it happens,

sapping energy and Life’s zest!

 

Looking around we see only shadows,

forgetting they are only a lack of light,

something with no substance,

yet I let myself believe nothing is right!

 

It is a law of nature, Day follows Night,

knowing this, I see with newfound sight!

Seeing shadows dispel, no longer under their spell,

now beautiful vibrant colors, it is HOPE, I can tell!

 

Knowing oneself honestly, faults and all,

can help us to grow, and to stand ‘tall’.

No more the need for that inner boxing bout,

as we remove at last the torture of SELF-DOUBT!

Joy and Fire by John/Renewal/Rebirth/Letting Go/Mental Cleansing/Clearing Redundancies


 Joy and Fire

 

From the depths of despair,

I find fire and joy.

Fire that cleanses and clears,

and joy in being free.
