G´mornin GLPers and Lurkers: Be Yourself , It´s The Only One You´re Good At!

Once again we are given another present: life for another moment in time.

I posted this on the Peace thread last night, and thought that the words of wisdom are timeless and have chosen to do a repeat.

The man that wrote this did so as nothing more than to write down his personal observations which he hoped would make him more understanding and wise .. his insights apply to today as when he originally penned it.



~ Thought for the day ~



The Desiderata


Go placidly amid the noise and haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,

even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter,

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble,

it´s a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.

Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love;

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,

it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be.

And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life,

keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann


I hope each and everyone have a peaceful and joyous day .. if you can´t make it happen for yourself, make it happen for another .. it will come back to you in more ways that one.



The rest of you know what time it is .. it´s 4:20 somewhere on this planet, so synchronize your watches.
