Desiderata
I'll bet at least some of these things will have meaning for you:
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 people.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
And listen to all even to the dull and ignorant;
They too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive people, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself to others, you will become vain and bitter;
There will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your 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 the virtue there is;
Many persons strive for high ideals;
And everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself and do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
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 imaginings.
Many fears are borne of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less that 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 you labours 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.
