Keep on searching for your peace and always look for love <br />remembering that life is a journey that is over far too quickly <br /> <br />Measure each success from within, without pride or arrogance <br />making sure you leave only memories and joy, not hate or regret <br /> <br />Help those around you feel safe and protected, <br />because fear is our main predator which can consume you <br /> <br />Delight in each passing sunrise; each plaintive bird song <br />and never forget to wonder and ask the questions of time <br /> <br />In all your travels greet others with understanding and compassion <br />without presuming of their attitude and state of mind <br /> <br />At all times believe that the only person you have to prove anything to, <br />is yourself, and your God, and he will understand whatever the result <br /> <br />Smile at those sent to tempt or hinder you, as they have lost their way <br />and resolve to assist them to regain the path to their peace <br /> <br />Do not waste energy on wanting things you do not have; always <br />be calm and at peace, looking for joy in all that surrounds you <br /> <br />For every moment in time be truthful to your own identity; <br />do not paint a façade that belongs to another, as you will be found out <br /> <br />Continue on this path without deviation and falter, with your eyes straight ahead and then, be assured, that final step will be the greatest of all<br /><br />SPC Kellaway<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-path-of-light-desiderata-2006/
