Life Is




	*Life*

	Do not undermine your worth
	by comparing yourself with others.
	It is because we are different
	that each of us is special.
	Do not set your goals
	by what other people deem important.
	Only you know what is best for you.
	Do not take for granted
	the things closest to your heart.
	Cling to them as you would your life,
	for without them, life is meaningless.
	Do not let your life slip through your fingers
	by living in the past nor for the future.
	By living your life one day at a time,
	you live all the days of your life.
	Do not give up
	when you still have something to give.
	Nothing is really over
	until the moment you stop trying.
	Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
	It is by taking chances
	that we learn how to be brave.
	It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.
	Do not shut love out of your life
	by saying it is impossible to find.
	The quickest way to receive love is to give love;
	The fastest way to lose love
	is to hold it too tightly;
	the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
	Do not run through life so fast
	that you forget not only where you have been,
	but also where you are going.
	Life is not a race, but a journey
	to be savored each step of the way.
	Life is about who you love and who you hurt.
	It's about who you make happy
	or unhappy purposefully.
	It's about keeping or betraying trust.
	It's about friendship,
	used as a sanctity or a weapon.
	It's about what you say and mean,
	maybe hurtful, maybe heartening,
	and not starting rumors
	and contributing to petty gossip.
	It's about what judgments you pass and why,
	and who your judgments are spread to.
	It's about who you've ignored
	with full control and intention.
	It's about stopping jealousy,
	fear, ignorance, and revenge.
	It's about stopping inner hate
	and fostering inner love,
	letting it grow, and spreading it.
	But most of all, it's about using your life
	to touch and not poison other people's hearts
	in such a way that could have never occurred alone.
	Only you choose how those hearts are affected,
	and those choices are what LIFE is all about.
