when you arise in the morning
think of what a precious privilege it is
to be alive to breathe to think to enjoy
to love the happiness of your life
depends upon the quality of your
thoughts look well into thyself
there is a source of strength which will
always spring up if thou wilt always
look do not indulge in dreams of having
what you have not but I reckon up the
chief of the blessings you do possess
and then thankfully remember I would
crave them if they were not yours the
object of life is not to be on the side
of the majority but to escape finding
oneself in the ranks of the insane here
is a rule to remember in future when
anything tempts you to feel bitter not
this is misfortune but to bear this
worthily is good fortune
accept whatever comes to you woven in
the pattern of your destiny for what
could more aptly fit your needs you
don't have to turn this into something
it doesn't have to upset you to live a
good life we all have the potential for
it if we learn to be indifferent to what
makes no difference think of yourself as
dead you have lived your life now take
what's left and live it properly
death smiles at us all but all a man can
do is smile back
the best revenge is not to be like your
enemy your mind will take the shape of
what you frequently hold in thought of
the human spirit is colored by such
impressions the impediment to action
advances action what stands in the way
becomes the way you have power of your
mind not outside events realize this and
you will find strength
it is not death that a man should fear
but he should fear never beginning to
live never let the future disturb you
you will meet it if you have to with the
same weapons of reason which today arm
you against the present very little is
needed to make a happy life it is all
within yourself in your way of thinking
loss is nothing else but change and
change is nature's delight no man's true
delight is to do the things he was made
for
you
