Re-Think

RE-THINK

Self-reflection rather than global critique;
Not better or worse—individuals unique
Searching solutions, as opposed to blame.
Fostering what is right, instead of the same.
Focus on traits that are strong;
More than what is wrong.
Words to rephrase—
Such as never and always.
Uncover all or nothing thought—
Must, should, have to, ought.
Things beyond control, versus choices elective
When negative things happen—finding perspective.
