A Creed to Live By

[Lunawolf]

A CREED TO LIVE BY

*Avoid undermining our worth
by comparing ourself with others.
It is because we are different
that each of us is special.

*Avoid setting our goals
by what other people deem important.
Only we know what is best for us.

*Avoid taking for granted
the things closest to our heart.
Cling to them as we would our life,
for without them,
life is meaningless.

*Avoid letting our life
slip through our fingers
by living in the past
or for the future.
By living our life one day at a time,
we live ALL the days of our life.

*Avoid giving up
when we still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment
we stop trying.

*Avoid being afraid to admit
that we are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread
that binds us each together.

*Avoid being afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances
that learn how to be brave.

*Avoid shutting love out of our life
by saying it's impossible to find time.
The quickest way to receive love is to give;
the fastest way to lose love
is to hold it too tightly;
and the best way to keep love
is to give it wings.

*Avoid running through life so fast
that we forget not only where we've been,
but also where we are going.

*Remember,
a person's greatest emotional need
is to feel appreciated.

*Avoid being afraid to learn.
Knowledge is weightless,
a treasure we can always carry easily.

*Avoid using time or words carelessly.
Neither can be retrieved.

*Life is not a race,
but a journey to be savored
each step of the way.

*Yesterday is History,
Tomorrow is a Mystery
and Today is a gift:
that's why we call it "The Present"
