YOUTH is not entirely a time of life...
It is a state of mind...
It is not wholly a matter of ripe cheeks, red lips or supple knees...
It is a temper of will,
A quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions...
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years...
People grow old only by deserting their ideals,
You are as young as your self confidence,
As old as your fears,
As young as your hope,
As old as your despair...
In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber;
So long as it recieves messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage..
You are YOUNG...
When the wires are down,
& your heart is covered with snows of pessimism,
& the ice of cynicism,
Then, and only then,
Have you grown OLD...
Have you ever watched
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done!
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your ,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
life moves from a time of extreme highs and lows to a time of middle-of-the-road smoothness. There will be no dramatic shifts always but having a good life might not be as exciting as having a fabulous, dramatic life -- but you must admit that a good life is better than a bad one, right? Enjoy life's simple pleasures. After all, if everything were a big drama, you would never be able to truly relax.
Joy isn't something that is given to you -- it is something you have to find.
You should make a solid effort to enjoy yourself today, no matter what you have to do.
If you're running errands, why not take the scenic route or explore a shortcut?
If you're working, try to get social with some coworkers and share a little more about what motivates you.
If you're at school, soak up the lectures with gusto. Joy isn't something that's given to you on a silver platter -- it's something you have to find.
Start digging!
You!
