Turn away from the crowd and its fruitless pursuit of fame and gold.
Never look back as you close your door to the sorry tumult of greed and ambition. Wipe away your tears of failure and misfortune. Lay aside your heavy load and rest until your heart is still.
Be at peace. Already, it is later than you think, for your earthly life at best is only a blink of an eye between two eternities.
Be unafraid. Nothing here can harm you except yourself. Do that which you dread, and cherish those victories with pride.
Concentrate your energy. To be everywhere is to be nowhere. Be jealous of your time since it is your greatest treasure.
Reconsider your goals. Before you set your heart too much on anything, examine how happy they are who already possess what you desire.
Love your family and count your blessings. Reflect on how eagerly they would be sought if you did not have them.
Put aside your impossible dreams and complete the tasks at hand no matter how distasteful. All great achievements come from working and waiting. Be patient. God's delays are never God's denials.
Hold on. Hold Fast. Know that your paymaster is always near. What you sow, good or evil, that you will reap. Never blame your condition on others. You are what you are through your choice alone.
Learn to live with honest poverty, if you must, and turn to more important matters than transporting gold to your grave.
Never meet troubles halfway. Anxiety is the rust of life. When you add tomorrow's burdens to today's, they become unbearable. Avoid the mourner's bench and give thanks instead for your defeats. You would not receive them if you did not need them.
Always learn from others. He who teaches himself has a fool for a master. Be careful.
Do not overload your conscience. Conduct your life as if it was spent in an arena full of tattlers.
Avoid boasting. If you see anything that puffs you with your pride, look closer and you will find more than enough to make you humble.
Be wise. Realize that all men are not created equal for there is no equality in nature. Yet no man was ever born whose work was not born with him. Work everyday as if it was your first, yet tenderly treat the lives you touch as if they will all end at midnight.
Love everyone, even those who deny you for hate is a luxury you cannot afford. Seek out those in need. Learn that he who delivers with one head will always gather with two.
Be of good cheer. Above all, remember that very little is needed to make a happy life. Look up. Reach out. Cling simply to God and journey quietly on our pathway to forever with charity and a smile. When you depart it will be said by all that your legacy was a better world than the one you found. ~~ Og Mandino
