I refuse to allow negative experiences
to turn me bitter,
In fact I've decided to do the opposite.
For every let down and disappointment
my come back will be to love a bit harder.
For every act of meanness inflicted upon
myself,
I'm going to be more generous and give more
freely.
For every secret that's been hidden from me,
and for every lie I've been told,
I'm going to speak more openly
and practice honesty .
If we want the world to be a better place
we need to break the chain of retaliating
to unkind behaviour
and start acting from our hearts.
So yes, I'm going to be defiant ..
I refuse to be reduced to behaving in a way
I would not admire in another person,
So I'm choosing kindness ..
