ATTRACT  what  you EXPECT,  REFLECT  what   you        DESIRE,  BECOME what you  RESPECT  and MIRROR        what  you  ADMIRE  and        DECIDE,  COMMIT, SUCCEED and may your  heart be        BRAVE,  your   mind  FIERCE  and  your  spirit   FREE.     Be   STRONG   but  not   RUDE  and  be  KIND  but  not       WEAK  and  be  HUMBLE  but   not TIMID and PROUD     but not ARROGANT and  be  so  BUSY  LOVING  LIFE       that  you  have  no  time  for   HATE, REGRET,  WORRY     or  FRET and FEAR.       ALL  YOUR  LIFE you  will  be  faced  with a  CHOICE-      --  you  can  choose  LOVE  or  HATE.  I  choose LOVE,      which  comes  as  quite  a surprise to those who  know        me  because  of  what   I  had   to  go  through  in  the      Vietnam  war  and  after  returning   home   to  a  HATE        Vietnam  Veteran's  public.     I choose not to be the person who needs someone, I choose     to  be  the  person  someone  needs.  In  one  lifetime you       will  love  many times, but one love will  remain  in  your     soul forever.   A  comfort  zone  is  a  beautiful  place, but     nothing grows there.  I've  been  taught  to enjoy  my own     company instead of expecting someone else to make you     happy.      EXPLAIN  your  ANGER, don't EXPRESS  it and you will      immediately open  the  door  to  SOLUTIONS  instead of      ARGUMENTS  and  surround  yourself  with people who      will  make  you   HUNGRY  for  LIFE,  touch  your  heart,     and NOURISH  your SOUL.                                            Jon York  2020
