Don't date because you
are desperate. Don't marry because you are miserable. Don't have kids
because you think your genes are superior. Don't philander because you think you are
irresistible. Don't associate with people you can't
trust. Don't cheat.
Don't lie. Don't pretend. Don't dictate because you are smarter. Don't
demand because you are stronger. Don't sleep around because you think you
are old enough and know better. Don't hurt your kids because loving them is
harder. Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals. Don't
stagnate. Don't regress. Don't live in the past.
Time can't bring anything or anyone back. Don't put your life on hold for
possibly Mr/Mrs Right. Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr /Mrs
Wrong because your biological clock is ticking. Learn a new
skill. Find a new friend. Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won.
Only a price to be paid for some of
life's more hasty decisions. To terminate your loneliness, reach out
to the homeless. To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy. To
fulfil your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring
another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.
To make yourself happy, pursue your
passions and be the best of what you can be. Simplify your life.
Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive
friends, nasty habits, and dangerous liaisons. Don't abandon your
responsibilities but don't overdose on duty. Don't live life
recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.
Be true to yourself. Don't commit when
you are not ready. Don't keep others waiting needlessly.
Go on that
trip. Don't postpone it. Say those words. Don't let the moment pass. Do
what you have to, even at society's scorn. Write poetry. Love
Deeply. Walk barefoot. Dance with wild abandon. Cry at the
movies. Take care of yourself. Don't wait for
someone to take care of you. You light up your life. You drive yourself to
your destination. No one completes you - except YOU.
It is true
that life does not get easier with age. It only gets more challenging. Don't
be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love. Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.
Don't lose
faith in your God. Don't grow old. Just grow YOU.
