Be glad of life...because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars; to be satisfied with your possessions; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cowardice; to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neighbours except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends…and to spend as much time as you can with body and with spirit. These are little guideposts on the footpath to peace.
These words come from Henry van Dyke. I have had them on my fridge for a few years and they continue to inspire me.
