The power of positive thinking is beautifully expressed in this poem, by Sarla, exclusively for Different Truths.

Don’t let the gloomy days spoil your spirit, 
It’s only a passing phase. 
Go out and enjoy the gloomy days by visiting the nearby woods, 
And listen to the waterfall, holding the pebbles in your hand and see the magic it creates, 
The sweet sound of rubbing the pebbles together creates a wonderful feeling 
Wear your colourful clothes on a gloomy day, take a walk through the garden 
 of your heart where flowers bloom without your knowledge
Listen to the beautiful music your heart plays which we ignore always!
Listen, listen carefully it's melodious and beyond comparison!
Sit quietly and listen to the music of your divine soul. It's so soothing you will see!
Our own body and soul plays the orchestra which we forget to listen to!
Listen, listen to the music of your heart and soul to overcome the gloomy days!
