Rhyme and Read: Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite by Paul Arden

I'm back with the Rhyme and Read series and this time I try to summarize in poetry the most important principles from the book: Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite by Paul Arden

The book is tiny, yet it strongly impacts how we see things and teaches us to think differently.
In this poem I try to express a strong message about thinking differently, embracing mistakes, and finding success through nonconformity.

Thoughts are the seeds of paths unknown,
Dare to plant them, let them be sown.
When the world says "no," turn left or right,
In opposition, you'll find your light.

Mistakes are the canvas where brilliance is born,
Color outside lines, be bold, be torn.
Break conformity’s chains, set yourself free,
In rebellion, you'll find the key.

Failure’s the fuel, the spark you need,
Embrace the fall, let it feed.
For in the ashes of what you fear,
A phoenix of success will appear.

Normal is dull, a path too straight,
Twist and turn, rewrite your fate.
In the madness of a wild pursuit,
True genius takes root.

So think the opposite, flip the script,
Let creativity and courage be your grip.
For in the world of thought and fight,
It’s the contrarians who reach the height.

I'm not a poet, but I do my best in creating rhymes that express the most important principles from specific books, please feel free to let me know how I can improve and also if you liked any particular book and want me to make some rhymes about it please let me know and I will read it and create something with it, especially if the topic would be of interest to me.
