Think of being alive, instead of being a living dead. <br />Think of your blessings, not on your sufferings, instead. <br />Think of living life’s simple joys, instead of life’s woes <br />Think of living in love, instead of creating many foes <br />Think of the possibilities, instead of the negatives <br />Think of courage, instead of fear and its relatives <br />Think of health, instead of forsaking it for fool’s wealth <br />Think of a purpose-driven life, instead of life’s early death <br />Think of God who directs your life, not on your own will <br />Think of becoming your best, enjoying the gift of life’s thrill.<br /><br />Paul Sebastian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/purpose-driven-life/
