Don’t speed through because Life is “too short”.
Enjoy all moments, good, bad, and every sort.
The good, you will always hold tender.
And the bad are lessons to remember.

Let your experiences take you on an adventure you never knew.
And don’t let your possessions possess you.
Never settle for normal or boring.
Just take a leap of faith, and start soaring.

Always be proud, even in your mistakes.
Learn from them, and just say “Thanks”.
Don’t be passive, but not too controlling.
Give yourself a push, to get the ball rolling.

Stay humble even when you’re doing great.
For when you think you’re the best, you might fall on your face.
Love and care for everyone, even your enemies.
‘Cause your kindness, could be their remedy.

Life is crazy, and is sometimes annoying.
But stop your worrying, and start your enjoying.
Written in the form of a Shakespearean Sonnet, in iambic pentameter.
