Your time is limited —
don't waste it living someone else's life
or let the noise of others' opinions
drown out your own inner voice.
Follow your heart and intuition
that somehow already know
what you truly want to become.

When life flows by like a song,
But a person worthwhile is one who will smile
When everything goes dead wrong.

cannot be perplexed or frightened.

at their own steady pace,
like a ticking clock during a thunderstorm.

Life is comprised of not knowing,
of having to change and grow,
of taking the moment and
making the best of it
without knowing what will happen next —
delicious ambiguity.

Not what you have, but what you see;
not what you see, but what you choose;
not what seems fair, but what is true;
not what you dream, but what you do;
not what you take, but what you give;
not as you pray, but as you live.
-Secrets of Happiness
