Mindfulness

Look beyond what you see,
and try to see what you don’t see;
there is infinite beauty in what is unseen.

Listen and try to hear more than what you hear,
give attention to the words unheard;
The truth may be hidden in those words which are often not heard.

Feel the pain that other people go through,
then you will learn to feel for yourself,
and act with more compassion and love.

Ask what is not asked for,
and give what is not given;
someone must be silently suffering indefinitely.

Do what you can do,
at least help them fulfill their basic needs,
and make someone smile with your deeds.

Be humble,
and live simple;
admire the greatness of humbleness and simplicity.

Understand the struggles of life,
to become resilient and positive;
and keep marching forward with determination.

Know your destiny,
and be certain about the path chosen;
without a doubt, you shall reach your destination.

Always remain cautious and be prepared,
for many things can happen unexpectedly,
and turn our life topsy-turvy.

Be mindful of what we speak,
and the actions we take;
it matters a lot in others life.
