Your Thoughts affect your Mood.
So make them Positive. Things to remember. Public announcement poem.
It's so easy to say - don't stress about life
Not walking in another's shoes
But listen, one and all...We are what we think - mostly.
The past can't be changed - but it can be improved upon.
Opinions do not define your reality. You have a mind of your own. USE IT!
Everyone's journey is different. Carve your own path, however treacherous and doubt filled. Plunge fearlessly into the fray. Try your best to avoid danger.
Judgements are not about you. They usually are about the ones making the judgement.
Over thinking will lead to sadness...unless grounded in the positive.
Happiness is found within. No one can take, direct or commandeer your thoughts and feelings - unless you allow them to.
Your thoughts affect your mood. We are human, thoughts ebb and flow. It helps to dwell on the edict - 'Accentuate the positive...Eliminate the negative'. As best you can.
Smiles are contagious. Smile and the world smiles with you. Cry and you cry alone. Hope for loyal friends and family who will stand by you, no matter what. You are blessed if you do.
Kindness is free. Better words have not been spoken.
It's ok to let go and move on. Listen to your heart and soul, let it lead and guide you to your destinations.
What goes around, comes around. Human nature demands that we all be winners. No one wants to feel left out. We all feel it...resentment, jealousy, hate and envy. Yet we must curb that green-eyed monster and try to be our best selves - despite it all. Patience and a moving forward with our own inner light, will show us the way. Dark brings dark. Light brings light.
Things always get better with time.
Except old age, rotten things, the imminence of death, processed foods, boiling resentment (let it go before it explodes or worse, implodes). Feel free to add to this list.
But still...Think Positive.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Great thoughts and advice, Antoni! Congrats on TS!
I love this as a reminder for the new year ✨️
"Overthinking will lead to sadness, unless grounded in the positive". Beautiful.
Way to go in sharing this for we all need to read and maybe even memorize some of them. Good job.
I appreciate how this acknowledges that positivity isn’t automatic it’s a practice. That honesty makes the message feel grounded.
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
This poem carries a quiet reminder that feels especially relevant in everyday life. The way it connects thoughts to emotional states is simple, but powerful it doesn’t lecture, it gently nudges the reader toward awareness. What I appreciate most is how it leaves space for reflection rather than forcing optimism, making the message feel human and achievable.
Really enjoyed this. Felt like a gentle reminder rather than preachy advice. The humor near the end made it even better...life wisdom with a smile
it is worth reading!
What a chuckle you have me after the highlight-bold words "Things always get better with time..." Girlfriennnn! Truth 🤣
Well-wrought! I find that thinking only ever leads to sadness when I am interrupted before I can conclude my line of reasoning. Polarities are always inevitably resolving themselves, I find, when we give them time and space to operate. To the outside observer, the deep thinker may sometimes seem a sad fool. Sorrow is, however, but a mask. To each their own!
really good reminder-with New Years coming and people making resolutions-they only stick if they don't compare to others and trust process
Excellent advice. I add what Seema says below. Chemicals, pills and anything else not made by nature, messes with our natural souls, love the sage counsel.
Beautiful Advice and message, Antoni! I hope you had a Merry Christmas!
These are all excellent life reminders, many we often forget.
This felt so empowering and uplifting. I loved it!
Amen to light brings light! #12 is a standout. Things will eventually get better we just have to keep the faith & keep keeping on during tough times! May blessings continue to rain down upon you AD, sweet friend! 🫶🏾💕🎄🎁
I advise all to minimize chemicals by mouth, nose, skin path. They are hormone disrupters.
