Built For Life
We are built for Life.
Live Loud, Live Full,
Do good, Make A Difference,
Do Not Lie, even if it cost you,
Respect yourself, and others will respect you,
Understand yourself, and others will understand you.
Be enthusiastic, it is a sign of spiritual health.
Do something that will make your heart dance,
And if you can't, then do something for somebody else.
Do not worry about your limits, You Have None.
Do not think Life Is Impossible, Nothing Is.
Do not think the dark night never ends, It always does.
We love too little, and hate too much.
We talk too much, and listen too little.
We have more conveniences, but less time.
We have more knowledge, but poorer judgement.
We have added years to life, but not life to years.
2000 years of civilization, 2 world wars,
Countless conflicts over territories, religious beliefs, and the colour of our skin.
Broken marriages, broken homes,
Millions of neglected and abused children.
But know this, Life ask of every one a contribution,
What you chose to do or say today, determines your Life.
We pass this way but once, Let us make a difference now.
Many of the things we need can wait,
The child, the weak, the sick and the lonely cannot.
To them we cannot say tomorrow, their time is now.
Now is when we stand and say, Yes, count me in.
Let me do it now, I live my Life but once,
Let me Live today, for I do not live forever.

Touched My Heart
The Fool by Patrick Henry Pearce
Since the wise men have not spoken,
I speak that am only a fool;
A fool that hath loved his folly,
Yea, more than the wise men their books
or their counting houses
or their quiet homes,
Or their fame in men's mouths;
A fool that in all his days hath done never a prudent thing....
Never hath counted the cost,
nor reckoned if another reaped
The fruit of his mighty sowing,
content to scatter the seed;
A fool that is unrepentant,
and that soon at the end of all
Shall laugh in his lonely heart
as the ripe ears fall to the reaping-hooks
And the poor are filled that were empty,
Tho' he go hungry.
I have squandered the splendid years
that the Lord God gave to my youth
In attempting impossible things,
deeming them alone worth the toil.
Lord, if I had the years
I would squander them over again,
Aye, fling them from me!
For this I have heard in my heart,
that a man shall scatter, not hoard,
Shall do the deed of to-day,
nor take thought of to-morrow's teen,
Shall not bargain or huckster with God...
The lawyers have sat in council,
the men with the keen, long faces,
And said, `This man is a fool,'
and others have said, `He blasphemeth;'
And the wise have pitied the fool
that hath striven to give a life
In the world of time and space
among the bulks of actual things,
To a dream that was dreamed in the heart,
and that only the heart could hold.
You Are Perfect
Braude's Source Book For Speakers & Writers
When you think that you've made no difference in your life, when the going seems all uphill; there will always be someone in this world who thinks you're perfect. Who thinks that what you have done and what you continue to do, makes the world a better place.
Whoever you are, there is some younger person who thinks you are perfect. There is some work that will never be done if you don't do it. There is someone who would miss you if you were gone. There is a place that you alone can fill. - Jacob M. Braude
The mistakes of yesterday or even today does not matter. What matters is that you stay in the fight, and one day your time will come. And others will stand tall because of what you have done.
