Stray Thoughts From A Butterfly Net
At every opportunity
look strangers in the eye
and smile.
Smile like you love them.
In fact, go ahead and love them,
then smile
to let them know.
When you find yourself rising,
in any way at all,
work hard to lift
those around you, too.
Remember how they
once lifted you.
Make it a point
of your good fortune
to not leave anyone behind.
Disappointment
is the sharpest blade:
don't wield it against anyone.
Ever.
All success
is made of sincere failure.
Fail as often as you can,
gracefully,
gratefully,
joyfully.
Make it a part time job.
Then your other part time job
can be success.
Believe.
Fight.
Love.
