Don't regret growing
old because it is a
privilege denied to
many and while you
are here be in
competition with no
one and have no desire
to play the game of being
better than anyone else
but just try to be better
than the person you were
yesterday.

Getting lost will help
you find yourself so
make every act count
since we are going to
be here only for a
short time and learn
to enjoy every minute
of your life and be
happy now not
waiting for something
outside of yourself to
make you happy.

We are all here for
a single purpose and
that is to grow in
wisdom and to learn
to love better and
this can be done
through losing as
well as winning
or by having and
by not having, and
also by succeeding or
by failing so
remember that love
is what we are born
with and fear is
something we learn
so make every act count.
