To be the candle
or
the mirror that reflects it.
Edith Wharton
Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching.
First of all, in your own house.
Give love to your children,
to your wife or husband,
to a next-door neighbor . . .
Let no one come to you without
leaving better or happier.
Be the living expression of God's kindness:
Kindness in your face,
Kindness in your eyes,
Kindness in your smile
and kindness in your warm greeting.
~Mother Teresa~
We should not expect
More from others
Than we are willing
To give to ourselves.
"I've learned that
you cannot hide a piece of
broccoli in a glass of milk."
~Age 7
Think too highly of others
And not enough of themselves
While many
Think too highly of themselves
And not enough of others.
We should always remember
~~To themselves
No one is just another person.
With so many exciting things to do
It's a shame
So many choose to just exist
Rather than to live.
Have you ever wondered
Which hurts the most
Saying something
And wishing you had not
Or saying nothing
And wishing you had.
Listen carefully to the words of others
For often very deep truths are revealed
clothed in jest.
I've learned that
it's taking me a long time
to become the person
I want to be.
To see the world in a different Light.
The Light of your Love.
Help me
To learn to cherish each new day
And all the Opportunities that it brings.
Give me
The strength to handle life's problems
Knowing that you are beside me.
Let me
Be comfortable in the knowledge
That since you have come into my life
I will never walk alone.
