Notes About The Poem

Weakness

Instead of percieving that the universe is conspiring against us, belief that the universe is working in our favor, brightens our perception 
                                                                                  ~Quote by Poet

We can transform rapacity by changing our beliefs and perceptions   
Exploring our mind and body and by letting ourselves go—for instance
A room without books is like a body without a soul—positive words blanket 
Keeping us covered with comfort, love, and hope, and teaches us to 
Never stop from searching deeper on the path toward our better selves.
Each morning, I open my eyes, say to myself I have the power to make me                                                                             
Stronger or weaker, this is because we are smarter than we think we are
Shusaku Endo said that every weakness contains within itself a strength

This is such a beautiful and precious acrostic with affirmative aura and vibrant manifestations of perceiving things in a positive way. So many lines here touched my heart "a room without books is like a body without a soul", " Never stop from searching deeper on the path toward our better selves" And the ending, so wonderful!

We are greater than we think or others rate us. We have the power within us to make ourselves better each day. This power is not self earned, but what God has deposited in us. We need to make use of that power. A great quote and a beautiful acrostic. Congratulations on your great win, Anaya !
