A Philosophy for a Successful Life To live; to
learn; to love and be loved; To share,
and to give what I have to give. To live— To
participate enthusiastically in all life has to offer, To face
life’s challenges with all the courage and faith I can muster, To achieve all that is in my heart and in all facets of my hopes and desires, To live as
an indominable spirit—unstoppable A life with
purpose, touching others, and rich in memories and experiences. To learn— Each and
every day To be able
to turn challenges, setbacks and defeats Into new and
glorious opportunities To pass on
to others the joys and rewards of the perpetual pursuit of knowledge and
experience, To recognize
that I know not all, and accept every encounter as a chance to gain insight,
knowledge and inspiration. To maintain
always an open mind, receptive to opportunity and new perspectives. To love and
be loved— Completely
and unconditionally all the souls I meet along with way, To grasp the
virtues of patience, confidence, respect and respectability, To have
faith in others and in myself, To trust and
be trustworthy, To believe
in the integrity of others, to praise their accomplishments, encourage their
efforts, and bless them for their example. To share— All that I
am. To be a
cheerleader for those who are struggling to be better than they are, To support
them in their struggle, knowing that sharing their difficulty lightens the load
of my own obstacles, To befriend
others who are moving in positive directions, friendships which keep our lives
in focus, To share
laughter, those gems of human interaction; tears, that spontaneous relief of
human frustration and frailty; and success, honoring all those who contributed
to it. For no one
succeeds in life alone. To give what
I have to give— Knowing that
all I can give will be returned tenfold, and from unexpected places. Those
unexpected gifts, treasures beyond price, Will forever
keep my life an exciting and wonderful journey. |
