Make the Present Beautiful
Rules of Living
If you think you can, you can
Try and Discover all that you can be
Find Happiness
Don't ever give up your dreams
Choose want you want to be
A Smile
One day at a time –
This is enough.
Do not look back
And grieve over the past
For it is gone;
And do not be troubled
About the future,
For it has not yet come.
Live in the present,
And make it so beautiful
That it will be
Worth remembering
Never put off till tomorrow
What you can do today.
Never trouble another for
What you can do yourself
Never spend your money
Before you have it
Never buy what you do not want
Because it is cheap
Pride costs us more than hunger,
Thirst and cold
We seldom repent having
eaten too little
Nothing is troublesome
That we do willingly
How much pain the evils have caused
Us that have never happened
Take things always by the smooth handle
Your mind is your real self –
Your real being.
There are more and more
Possibilities in nature,
In the elements, in man and out of man;
And they come as fast as man sees
And knows how to use these forces,
In nature and in himself.
Possibilities and miracles
Mean the same thing
Prentice Mulford
Try and Discover All that You can be
There is a funny old saying, one that says
"If you don’t ride a bicycle,
you don’t fall off!"
what it means to say, of course, is
if you do put a lot of energy into something,
you are bound to make mistakes;
and if you take a lot of risks,
you are bound to tumble here and there.
But remember this: that if you persist,
You will arrive at the destination of your choice.
And if you do occassioinally fall in the process,
You’ll learn much more than if you don’t.
So try, and do, and discover all that you can be.
And take me with you…
In spirit, as you go,
So you’ll know that
I’ll always be beside you
Wishing for nothing but the best
Michael Rille
Find happiness in nature
In the beauty of mountain
In the serenity of the sea
Find happiness in friendship
In the fun of doing things together
In the sharing and understanding
Find happiness in your family
In the stability of knowing
That someone cares
In the strength of love and honesty
Find happiness in yourself
In your mind and body
In your values and achievements
Find happiness in
Everything
You
Do
- Susan Polis Schutz
Don’t ever give up your dreams
I know you’re going
To make it…
It may take time
And hard work
You may become frustrated
And at times you’ll feel
like giving up
sometimes you may even
wonder if it’s really
worth it
but I have confidence
in you,
and I know you’ll make it,
if you try.
- Amanda Pierce
This life is yours
Take the power
To choose what you want to do
And do it well
Take the power
To love what you want in life
To love it honestly
Take the power
To walk in the forest
And be a part of nature
Take the power
To control your own life
No one else can do it for you
Take the power
To make your life happy
Susan Polis Schutz
A smile costs nothing, but gives much.
It enriches those who receive, without
Making poorer those who give.
It takes but a moment, but the memory of it
Sometimes lasts forever
None is so rich or mighty that he can get
Along without it, and none is so poor but
That he can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home,
Fosters goodwill in business, and is the
Countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the
Discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is
Nature’s best antidote for trouble
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,
Or stolen, for it is something that is of no
Value to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.
Give them one of yours, as none
Needs a smile so much as he who has
No more to give
