A few words to the wise

 Wish I could tell you where this originated.

It’s easy to tell others to take risks. It’s harder to live by that rule, especially if you’re wise enough to consider the consequences. Have faith. Take a leap and trust that someone will catch you.


 


Weigh your choices.


 


Don’t hesitate to give to a stranger but don’t give everything away.


 


Be who you are. Everybody else is taken.


 


Life is short. Have the courage to leave a miserable job, if you’ve tried everything you can. The same is true of a miserable relationship, as long as you’re not hurting your children. If you’re afraid you might be, weigh the value of staying in a struggling relationship against the possible outcome of moving on.

Don’t be afraid to move on and move forward. Don’t let fear hold you back.


 


Don’t be afraid to love; don’t wear your heart on your sleeve.


 


Remember that life is what happens while you’re making other plans.

Consider your body, with all its imperfections, a gift from God. Treat it well and know what you can and cannot change.


Accept what you cannot change; change what you can; ask for the wisdom to know the difference.


Be grateful for what is right in your life.
