Mind Set

My friend Marie gave me this quote today. This is the mind set I am going into village with...

Go placidly amid the noise and the hast 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; 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 or 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 humble it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution of 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 surrending the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born out 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 the stars;You have a right to be 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 conceive Him/Her to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be careful. Strive to be happy. - DESIDERATA

Lets do this.
