GO PLACIDLY amid the
noise and the 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 the ignorant they too have their story.Avoid loud and aggressive persons they are
vexatious 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 is 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.
By Max Ehrmann 1927
This above is my favourite peom. It says a lot. I was first sent it by Caroline Johnstone who was a girl friend in my teens.
Life is often difficult but an easy going relaxed attitude and gentleness with yourself help a lot.
When you call me lets discuss this.
Best wishes
