When recurring patterns in life,
Calls for repeated strife,
It's time to examine one's thoughts,
To untie the knots.

In the whirl pool of stagnant thoughts,
One is perpetually caught,
Attracting the same events,
Undergoing repeated torments.

The circumstances that go in circles,
Are but frequenting hurdles,
In free-flowing life,
With consistent fights from one's side despite.

Take heart, for it's not out of hand,
To take control of your thoughts beforehand,
For it's simple as being aware of your thoughts,
To break the repeated patterns that seem not to depart.

Be alert to your rising thoughts,
With all of your heart,
To make out the recurring patterns,
And to replace them with positive versions.

Best of all is to be still,
It is but an unfailing skill,
For thought patterns to retreat,
And peace to be one's seat.
