Garden Of Life

Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You

There comes a time when you must stand alone.
You must feel confident enough within yourself
to follow your own dreams.
You must be willing to make sacrifices.
You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities
so that your final goal can be achieved.
Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.
There are times when you must take a few extra chances
and create your own realities.
Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.
Be confident enough that you won't settle
for a compromise just to get by.
Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to
grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.
Don't stand in someone else's shadow
when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

Work hard at what you like to do and try to overcome all obstacles
Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for learning from them
Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature
Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know
Don't be afraid to show your emotions
laughing and crying make you feel better
Love your friends and family with your entire being
they are the most important part of your life
Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day
Find a rainbow and live your world of dreams
always remember life is better than it seems

BE THANKFUL
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those
who are also thankful for the setbacks.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

Have you ever heard of Gossiptown
On the shore of Falsehood Bay,
Where Old Dame Rumour with rustling gown
Is going the livelong day?
It isn't far to Gossiptown
for people who want to go,
The Idleness train will take you down
In just an hour or so.
The thoughtless road is crowded, you'll find,
For most folks start that way;
But it's all down hill and, if you don't mind,
You'll land in Falsehood Bay.
You glide through the valley of Wicked Talk,
And into the tunnel of hate;
Then, crossing the Bitterness Bridge,
You walk right into the city gate.
The principal street is called "They Say,"
And "I've heard" is the public well,
And the breezes that blow from Falsehood Bay
Are laden with "Don't you tell!"
In the midst of the town is Telltale Park--
You're never quite safe when there;
For its owner is Madame Suspicious Remark,
Who lives in the street "Don't Care."
