Unexpected joys
Hidden deep in the mundane;
Catch them while they’re there

Do as you think right,
Actions and values aligned;
Keep true to yourself

Learning from the past
With an eye to the future
Live in the moment

To every challenge
Bring a flexible outlook
And seek solutions

Without discernment
Knowledge remains powerless
Combined, they transform

Wait for the right time,
Impatience does not serve you;
Cards close to your chest

Challenge your thinking
Embrace a new point of view
Create your own path

Proceed patiently
In the face of frustration
Move on steadily

Be ready for change
Not all things can be controlled
You need to adapt

Disingenuous!
All may not be what it seems:
Be watchful for signs

Make preparations
Don’t fall at the first hurdle
You’re worth more than that

Good will to others;
A strong tower around you,
Bringing protection.

Make yourself ready
It’s all in the way you plan
The details matter

Life is a cycle:
Some days will turn out better,
Others, not so much

Barriers arise
Make a choice to overcome
Face problems head on
