Accept And Utilize Differences To Make The Most Of Your Life

Differences are what ensures that change and decision making turn out so interesting.

They also have this habit of making our lives more complex and unpredictable, too.

The contrasts and the variations in life can be both instructive and at times a little frustrating - if we let them.

We often wish life would turn out a particular way and then though and behold something happens and ... We all have our own examples.

But who wants to be bored.

A little variation, diversity of situation, change here and there, really does keep life bright and us on our toes. We need to keep a balance to ensure that we cope with the changes and differences as well as we can.

Sometimes we'd rather keep a low profile.

We perhaps are happy for a while to part of the pack and doing the things that pack members do. The ordinary and the mundane, the exciting and the satisfying - the usual mishmash of life events.

Other times we do want to go out on a limb. We may not make a career out of it, but just this once.

Or we may feel different from the rest, from the silent majority. And wish to go our way.

The choices and opportunities that face us all each and every day.

The power of words . . .

As we read we can let the words gently flow over us.

Words can be very powerful - healing, soothing, comforting, relaxing . . .

I hope this differences page will do this and more. I hope this differences verse example will help to express life in an insightful, penetrating but easy to read manner. And help us to question the lives we lead and the manner in which we live them.

Do we realize the differences our actions might make
are we fulfilling ourselves in life and making a stake
to show that we are individual in our own way
and happy and comfortable if things this way would stay

For the consequences of our decisions we are happy with
the contrast and the variation of life is no myth
and easy for us to find the way we should go
if we follow our nose we'll not deviate although

We may come across challenges and some obstacles
in our way to provide variety, diversity and cover the angles
and remain on top of things in life if we can
we may become of exception and alteration a real big fan

Because, we may find, at the end of the day
each of us is different - not everyone loves croquet
nor knows how to do things as well as their friend
we each have our talents and abilities that can transcend

Any real differences between us that we can see
rest, balance, lack of conflict - just let it be
in a state of mind that is wholesome and true
and not negative or distressed, and with no set-to

Between different elements of us in an internal fight
we want to avoid this happening and keep relaxed and bright
and look within where the real experience lingers
from head to our toes, just don't forget our fingers

For we all know we are more than our composite parts
we will have grown and developed and happy with what life now imparts
and shows and gives us for our education
do we know all we need to know at this junction

For as life goes by and different phases come to the fore
we enjoy our talents and strengths and just want more and more
of the wonders that life can show us morning, noon and night
for our pleasure and joy and our positive delight

Because there is so much more to feel and to see
to touch and make the most of and for us to feel free
of any inhibitions and fears and other distresses
we can be laid back and see how each day life blesses

Us with breath and a life that day to live
a change to experience and much to give
to others that we might help them along the way
and then with good fortune more friends will stay

In touch and share the delights that they do feel
for us to enjoy and with no thought or appeal
to wish that we had everything that our friends may enjoy
for we have our own wisdom and experience with which to deploy

Our efforts at changing and being different where necessary
to be the best that we can be and enjoy the sheer beauty
of life and the consequences of the actions we set in motion
so that we can for the common good contribute without exception.

All best,
Martin
