Desiderata
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 persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly and
listen
to others, even the dull and ignorant as they too, have their
story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others
you may become vain and bitter
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in
your own career,
however be humble; it is a real possession in the
changing of fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs for the world is full of
trickery. But let this not blind you to what
virtue there is, many
persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of
heroism. Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection. Neither be
cynical about love for in the face of all aridity,
and disenchantment
it is 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 born
of fatigue, and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and stars.
You have a right to he 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 may conceive him to be. And whatever
your labors and aspirations in the
noisy confusion of life, keep
peace with your soul. With all it’s sham, drudgery, and
broken
dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be
happy.
