Let the Lord take your Hand
Let the Spirit be your Guide
Let the Father be your Joy
Let the Son be your Pride
Be a Light in the Darkness
Be a Diamond in the Rough
Have hope for the Hopeless
When things may seem too Tough
Smile brightly in the Sunshine and on the Darkest Day
For the Lord is the Light, the Truth and the Way
Keep an open heart and mind in all walks of Life
Beat the evils of Temptation
Pray to overcome Strife
In Thanksgiving, Praise the Lord for the gifts you've been Given
For us, He has Died and, for us, He has Risen
Ask for his Guidance in everything you Do
Maintain Positivity
Time Won't Stop
So, Why should You?
The way that you spend you time is an investment. Like money, you should be careful where and how much you spend because your return can most certainly be negative. Invest your time in things that will help you grow into the person that you want to be.
Be honest with yourself.
Do not waste time trying to be like someone else.
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
-Dr. Seuss
We are all unique in our individuality. Spend time bettering yourself, nurturing your soul. Take time to think about the long-term. What is your vocation? What do you want to be remembered for? Where do you want to leave your mark? What are your goals? What is your wildest hope? Dream? Keep ever forward. However, you must remember that the more time you spend dwelling on the past and worrying about the future, the less time in the present you will have to do something great.
One of my favorite books, The Last Lecture, is about a college professor who is suffering from a terminal illness. As he writes this book, he looks back and sees that he has accomplished almost all of his wildest dreams. In hindsight, he sees that it is not about the cards you are dealt, but how you play the hand. He took every chance he could to gain experience, take opportunities, and become a better person. He did all of this, not for someone else, but for himself. He spent his time wisely.
The Present is a Gift. Cherish it.
Life is trial and error, give and take.
Learn from your mistakes and give just as much if not more than you receive.
Remember the words of St. Francis, "Preach the Gospel at All Times: when Necessary, Use Words"
