Some Inspiration

I can't remember where I got this, I had this against the wall where I worked for 4 years and now I have it against the wall where I study.

"Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't Lie. Don't Pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.
Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough and know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family or your ideas.
Don't stagnate.

Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.
Don't put your live on hold for possibly Mr./Ms. right.
Don't throw your live away on absolutely Mr./Ms wrong because your biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions.

To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting dreams, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life in to this world for all the wrong reasons.

To make yourself happy, persue your passions & be the best of what you can be.
Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, and dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibility but don't overdose on duty.

Don't live life recklessly without though and felling for your family.
Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.

Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to do, even at society's scorn.

Write poetry.
Love deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.

Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone else to take care of you.
You light up your life. You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.

It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.

Live your dreams.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU."

@Milamber Thanx for the wise words!... we all need a wake-up call now and then. The trick is to not just read it, and then go mmmm... Read it slowly, then read it again, think about it, then apply it - prob'ly the hardest part - Keep it handy, and make it a daily affirmation. We can only benefit from it!

 

+1 @Noodle

 

@Noodle That's exactly why I keep that somewhere near me. I read through it frequently and try to apply myself to it. But its not always easy.
