| When the World Gets You Down
 Put things in perspective. 
 Move ahead in a positive way; 
 don't allow yourself to become mired 
 in a negative view. 
 See things for what they really are. 
 Don't let the little things get in the way. 
 Do what you can, however you can, 
 with the resources you have available to you. 
 Don't sell yourself short; 
 you have the power within you to change 
 what needs changing. 
 Face the situation with the resolve to remedy
it; 
 do what you need to do to put it behind you. 
 Move ahead in the direction of happiness; 
 go for your dreams and reach for your star. 
 And remember who's in the driver's seat; 
 you are.
