Be the first to see
The opportunities that knock on the door
Then be the first to strike
While the iron is still hot.
Be the first to be grateful
For all that you have got
Not many have been as lucky
To receive all that they had sought
Be courageous enough to be happy
Even when problems abound
Face life with a smile
Do not let misgivings hound
Always Be the first
To share a warm and happy smile
Be the first to praise
In your own inimitable style
Be the very first
To lend a helping hand
Be among the first
To sacrifice for your motherland
Be the first to forgive
It will help to heal your soul
It will also remove all negativity
So Let kindness be your goal
Be the first to donate
To the needy whom you find
Also be the first
To maintain a stance that’s kind
Be the first
To own up to your fault
It will help you at all times
To enmity and jealousy, halt
Be the first to back out
When situations are tight
Do not get aggressive
And restless for a fight
Never be the first
To point a finger at others
For if it boomeranged on you
It will lead to awful shudders
Never be the first
To start a silly fight
You are secure in your world
You don’t need to show your might
Don’t be the first
To gossip or to jeer
Don’t encourage these habits
On this – be very clear
So learn these basic lessons
On being positive in all ways
This will lead to a life
Of blessed fulfilling days

And firstly to show up, good stuff🕊️🙏🏻
exactly. you have nailed it..helps to get a start on others in every aspect of life.
take care, have a lovely weekend
You too! 🕊️🙏🏻
Loved the advise in this poem. By being first you make it your idea and that you are not just a follower or copy cat. Nicely stated
it always helps to be original - following the group is not always conducive as one may get misguided involuntarily
so it is good to lead, rather than be a sheep
Amen to all of this. Powerfully true! 🌹👏
thank you. Glad you agree with it
take care - have a beautiful weekend
You too! You are most welcome!
A lovely write with very positive advice, by being the first you are showing you chose to do it and you are not following others, enjoyed the read
yes - it's great to choose the path and inspire others, than follow the troop blindly
thanks for your positive feedback
have a great weekend
You are very welcome and you too
Great advice really. It's just a shame I fail in so many and don't deserve a pass mark......
Take care.
this advice was mainly meant firstly for me as a reminder, when i kept falling short - so no need to be remorseful [if you are that] as you need to be true to yourself, and ne happy in what you do - which i am guessing you are..
so enjoy life, and stay safe, healthy and happy and have a fantastic weekend
Oh well , if I manage to convince that I fulfill the majority of you criteria, then I'll settle for that impression and work on my deficiencies secretly in my spare time, when I get some......
I had a good weekend thanks - hope you are having one too.
my weekend was good too - glad yours was too...
take care, as always - waiting to read your next offer
Love it
thank you so much
appreciate the feedback
God bless
You're welcome
Excellent work.
thank you so much for the appreciation
God bless
