DESIDERATA (desired things) by Max Ehrmann c. 1927
Go placidly amid the noise and 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 the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and 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 with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination take you away from this world. So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time. You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult. You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you. Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses. Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others. Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul
Your purpose in life is to inspire others by setting a good example. Your amazing energy draws people to you, and you give them great insight in return. You hold a great amount of power over others, without even trying. You have the makings of an inventor, artist, religious leader, or prophet. In love, you are sensitive and passionate. You connect with your partner on a very deep level. You have great abilities, but you are often way too critical of yourself. You don't fit in - and instead of celebrating your differences, you dwell on them. You have high expectations of yourself. But sometimes you set them too high and don't achieve anything.

"Thoughts of fear, doubt, & indecision crystallize into weak, unmanly, & irresolute habits, which solidify into circumstances of failure, indigence, & slavish dependence."
"Having conceived of his purpose, a man should mentally mark out a straight pathway to its achievement, looking neither to the right nor the left. Doubts & fears should be rigorously excluded; they are disintegrating elements, which break up the straight line of effort, rendering it crooked, ineffectual, useless. Thoughts of doubt & fear never accomplished anything, & never can. They always lead to failure. Purpose, energy, power to do, & all strong thoughts cease when doubt & fear creep in. The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do. Doubt & fear are the great enemies of knowledge, & he who encourages them, who does not slay them. thwarts himself at every step.
He who has conquered doubt & fear has conquered failure. His every, thought is allied with power, & all difficulties are bravely met & wisely overcome. His purposes are seasonably planted, & they bloom & bring forth fruit, which does not fall prematurely to the ground. Thought allied fearlessly to purpose becomes creative force: he who knows this is ready to become something higher & stronger than a mere bundle of wavering thoughts & fluctuating sensations; he who does this has become the conscious & intelligent wielder of his mental powers." [-As a Man Thinketh, by James Allen]
DONT ask forgiveness for cynicism, CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS. by changing the seeds you ALLOW to fall into the garden of your mind concentrate on GOALS, not obstacles. ALWAYS VOTE! =D =HulkSmaash!
