Thomas Jefferson flow, here’s my declaration ©

"Adversity cause some men to break; others to break records" 

Exhibit A: 

There’s more good hidden in the bad situation, 

I choose to turn to solid inspiration,

From it, you can build a useful foundation,

Like a g6, you fly to depths not known to elevation,

Me, I’m turning my thoughts into quotation,

Writing is relief, so I called it a vacation,

Thomas Jefferson flow, here’s my declaration,

life is like a bunch of maps, but only you choose your destination,

Being positive is the key to having the best navigation,

For that is how you elapse,

From the roads where you collapse,

The recipe for transformation

Is cooperation plus inspiration

Inspiration everywhere I go

To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do

The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd; the longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.

Fernando Pessoa
