Positive Thoughts

by Kira Fisher

Positive thoughts help you find happiness,
They help you stay calm during confusion,
I want to clear my thoughts of negativity,
Starting a new life is possible.

Positive thoughts are full of love,
The only person who can change my thoughts is me,
All of my friends and family support my dreams & goals,
It takes time to shape myself into a new person,
My dreams will come true some day.

I believe in changing for the better,
My attitude can be more positive,
My heart will get rid of my past,
Letting go is a wonderful process to go through,
I believe I can be a positive person.

I can begin to trust myself and my feelings once again,
Nothing or no one will stop me from being positive about my life,
I have a lot to learn as I grow into the person I am,
I am making a promise to myself today,
Being positive is the best way for me to live my life.

Thank you, god for my life and heart.
