These are two poems I live by....I think they say a lot.....

1)
The Challenge


Let others lead small lives,
but not you.
Let others argue over small things,
but not you.
Let others cry over small hurts,
but not you.
Let others leave their future
in someone else's hands,
but not you.

And this last one is me all day long, I read this poem EVERY SINGLE day to remind me of who I am, who i want to be, and it gives me the strength to be the way I am even when I face those who believe me to be a hypocrite or believe that I put myself on some sort of throne....

2)
Change Your World
By Brian Tracy

You cannot change the world, but you can present the
world with one improved person, yourself.

You can go to work on yourself to make yourself into
the kind of person you admire and respect.

You can become a role model and set a standard for others.

You can control and discipline yourself to resist acting or
speaking in a negative way toward anyone for any reason.

You can insist upon always doing things the loving way,
rather than the hurtful way.

By doing these things each day, you can continue on your
journey toward becoming an exceptional human being.
