A Creed To Live By

Don't undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others,
It is because we are different that each
of us is special.

Don't set your goals by what other people
deem important,
Only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest
to your heart
Cling to that as you would your life, for without
them life is meaningless.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living
in the past or the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the
days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give. . .
Nothing is really over . . . until the moment
you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less
than perfect,
It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks,
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's
impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.

The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly,
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your Dreams. To be without
dreams is to be without hope.
To be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget
where you've been,
But also know where you're going.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured
every step of the way.

Music: I've Got A Never-Ending Love For You

What is up with humanity?
Are we afraid of the truth?

What's with the fundamentalism sweeping the planet?
Why aren't there more free thinkers in the world?
How do we make sense of life when life makes no sense?
What's it all for?

Will there ever be a time when war ceases completely? Who knows?

Will there ever be an end to racism, sexism, classism, terrorism, elitism –
and what I consider to be increasingly alarming - patriotism? Who knows?
Am I just too idealistic? Who knows?

Hate, turmoil and estrangement are not family values - "you shall be known by your fruits".
