UMBRAL

If one were to neglect the innate intuition within,

The journey to discover one's true calling, a challenge to begin.

In the pursuit of dreams, pause to ascertain,

That the dream chased is truly one's own, not one to feign.

Value discipline and the art of daydreaming,

Crafting a life of purpose and meaning.

Prefer gaining an adversary over losing a cherished friend,

For the bonds of true friendship, enduring till the end.

Bearing in mind, the pressures that may lead astray,

Identify the desires that in your heart lay.

Personal growth akin to mastering the art of swimming,

Imperative when life's tides are grim and dimming.

Character, a measure tested by unspoken words,

Revealing true essence when integrity is stirred.

The duality of money, a tool to liberate or bind,

Utilize wisely to nurture dreams of the mind.

Seek solace in humor amidst life's toughest shows,

Common sense and laughter, the guiding force that flows.

Choose not the guise of a hapless victim's plight,

But ascend beyond challenges, reclaiming your might.

Time, a maestro that unveils its magic in rounds,

As age bestows wisdom, insight abounds.

Seizing change as a conscious choice, grasp it without delay,

Navigating ego's pitfalls with vigilance, come what may.

Fear, to be understood, conquered without delay,

Witness beauty in every facet along life's way.

Embrace collaboration over cutthroat competition,

For true success is fostered in harmonious coalition.

Resist the allure of comfort, aim for the celestial sphere,

Embrace honesty, dispelling resentment, clear.

Lessons from life's trials, forged in the crucible of strife,

Strive for equilibrium in every aspect, fostering a balanced life.

Appreciate the value of slumber, a gateway to renewal,

Love's transient nature may at times leave one wistful.

Confront insecurities to prevent their long-term sway,

If it won't matter in few years, reprioritize today.

Let necessities supersede mere wants in the grand scheme,

Nail down aspirations, realizing the grander dream.

Honesty, the cornerstone of authentic human trust,

Immune to erosion, unwavering and robust.
