1369 WHO'S ON FIRST? VS WHAT COMES FIRST?

Whereas who's on first is a funny joke
What comes first is no laughing matter, which
You shall see as today's train of intuitive thought
Tracks the answer to this question:  What comes first—
The current state of your spirit or an attitude that creates a mindset?
Hint:  The answer to today's question considers
A darkened view in need of lightening up by way of
Shining a mind-brightening spotlight of insight on your
Awareness of the way that resignation (concerning
A disheartened decision to abandon an existential unmet need)
Sap your life force of energy, Suggesting why
A heightened sense of self-awareness inspires
Your think tank and mine to accept the role of
Master architect over the rest of our lives as our
Thought processors come to understand how the current state of
A person's spirit reacts like the needle on a gauge, pointing to
Your brain's need to readjust a negatively focused mindset, which
Upon remodeling to state of the art, refuels our brain's ability to
Create change for the better by breaking down walls of denial
(Behind which hides regret), thus freeing
The  independent nature of intuitive thought to offer
Your present state of conscious awareness sound reason to
Identify and repair the crack in your foundation of self esteem so that
Self-defeating patterns of thought (which created deeply rooted
Behavioral patterns of blind obedience or rebellion, during childhood)
Will not remain stuck in a rut where a closed mind set continues to
Spin your wheels until intuitive intelligence gains insight into
The importance of brainstorming toward specifying which
Negatively focused attitude is key to unlocking the box in which
The disheartened state of the human spirit has too little space for
Its wing span to expand so fully as to free our souls to experience
The natural high that soaring toward thriving provides to one and all ... WHEW!
BTW:  A disheartened spirit need not feel completely depressed ...
A disheartened spirit can simply feel too compressed and flattened by
Conventional thought to soar as high as had proved possible before
A closed mindset, based in fear, guilt or both, blocked
Intuitive thought from making its way through the tunnel of darkness by
Clearing a path toward the emergent string of insights, which, highlighting
The benefits of thinking out of the box, encourages my spirit not to give up on
A heartfelt goal that remains beyond my control, and in this way does
My thought processor muster the patience to relax mental tension in hopes of
Tapping into my sixth sense until my spirit feels so buoyed with renewed hope as to
Switch tracks from negative focus toward taking another leap of faith toward
The possibility that change for the better may feel eager to accept
My invitation to dance around the next bend, and with that said
You can see why the good health of my life force relies upon
Intuitive thoughts tunneling toward each next bright flash of insight, which
May be only a day away, suggesting why my strength of spirit has
Seen fit to develop a determined sixth sense of its own!
I mean, seriously—why accept Mother Nature's gifts of
Strength of spirit, positively focused creativity and intuitive brainstorming
If we fail to partner up that trinity with a peaceful sense of patience
Specifically at those times when awareness suggests that
Tension-filled thoughts might otherwise squeeze the sugar out of
The lemonade, which had once tasted as sweet as the nectar of the gods ...

And thus do I ask, yet again:  What comes first?
The current state of your spirit or an attitude that creates
A mindset and behavioral pattern in need of reconsideration?

Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
