The Rose

And The Thorn

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
Our Lives are Beautiful like the rose and the thorn

“When some things go wrong,

take a moment

to be thankful for the many things

that are going right”

It is always Best to Focus

on something Positive and Good

because this

Helps to Strengthen the Mind.

When we look at roses,

we see their Beautiful colours and smell their Lovely scent.

And we are Careful of their thorns!

Many times,

our Lives are like these roses.

We have a Cheerful and Busy Life,

with one or two problems or ‘thorns’.

But it is Better for us Mentally

to look at the

Good things in our Lives.

Thorns on roses

are there to protect the rose,

very much like the one or two problems

we have that we can Learn from.

Do not ‘allow’

a small problem

to ruin your Peace of Mind,

when you can look at

all the

Good things in your Life

and be Happy.

This is where our daily Gratitude comes to Mind,

because every day

we are reflecting on the good in our Lives

that there is no room for anything negative.

Plus,

when something goes wrong,

we can Learn from it,

dealing with it quickly

and avoiding that mistake in the Future.

We have more roses in our Lives than thorns.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
