Are you ready for some historical wisdom?

DESIDERATA

Go placidly among the noise and haste, 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 have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others you may become vain and 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 changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind your 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 adversity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly to counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering 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 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 stars. You have the right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, not doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be ~ and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its shame, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Saint Paul’s Church in the year of our Lord ~ 1692

Today I offer a short post. I offer words to think about. The above was written in 1692. It is still valid today. Just goes to show that even though people are searching for truth and knowledge as if it is sometimes a mystery; it has always been here.

It is in your perception and attitude.

TODAY’S TIP: Do not make life too complicated. Keep things simple and learn to enjoy life in the moment.

Are you happy at the moment?
