~You are Worthy~
Do not undermine your worth
By comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different
That each of us is special.
Do not set your goals
By what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Do not take for granted
The things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life.
For without them, life is meaningless.
Do not let your life slip through your fingers
By living in the past nor for the future.
By living your life one day at a time,
You live all the days of your life.
Do not give up
When you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over
Until the moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread
That binds us to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances
That we learn to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life
By saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.
In addition,
The best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope,
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life
So fast that you forget not only where you have been
But also where you are going.
Life is not a race but a journey
To be savored each step of the way.
So smile.... and let the sun shine through.
For there's someone,
somewhere, watching over you.

Never Defeated by Age
Her old bones creaked and her pace was slow
But her smile was blindingly bright.
Her mind was sharp, and her voice was kind,
Her manner was a true delight.
The world had changed
In the winters she'd known,
But she bore their weight with pride.
She shared her wisdom and passed the goodness on,
Using her love of life as her guide.
She did not bow to time,
Using life as her stage,
She sought each morning's joy.
And she was never defeated by age.
~Excerpt from "Earth Medicine" by Jamiie Sams.~
~Living One Day at a Time~
Our lives are made up of a million moments,
spent in a million different ways.
Some are spent searching for love, peace, and harmony.
Others are spent surviving day by day.
But there is no greater moment
than when we find that life,
with all it's joys and sorrows,
is meant to be lived one day at a time.
It's in this knowledge that we discover
the most wonderful truth of all.
Whether we live in a forty-room mansion,
surrounded by servants and wealth,
or find it a struggle to manage the rent month to month,
we have it within our power to be fully
satisfied and live a life with true meaning.
One day at a time - we have that ability,
through cherishing each moment and rejoicing in each dream.
We can experience each day anew,
and with this fresh start we have
what it takes to make all our dreams come true.
Each day is new, and living one day at a time
enables us to truly enjoy life and live it to the fullest.

~YOU ARE UNIQUE~
Think what a remarkable, unduplicatable,
and miraculous thing it is to be you!
Of all the people who have come and gone
on the earth, since the beginning of time,
not ONE of them is like YOU!
No one who has ever lived or is to come has
had your combination of abilities, talents,
appearance, friends, acquaintances, burdens,
sorrows and opportunities.
No, one's hair grows exactly the way yours
does. No one's finger prints are like yours.
No one has the same combination of secret
inside jokes and family expressions that you
know.
The few people who laugh at all the same
things you do, don't sneeze the way you do.
No one prays about exactly the same concerns
as you do. No one is loved by the same
combination of people that love you -
NO ONE!
No one before, no one to come.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE!
Enjoy that uniqueness. You do not have to
pretend in order to seem more like someone
else. You weren't meant to be like someone
else. You do not have to lie to conceal the
parts of you that are not like what you see in
anyone else.
You were meant to be different. Nowhere ever
in all of history will the same things be going
on in anyone's mind, soul and spirit as are
going on in yours right now.
If you did not exist, there would be a hole in
creation, a gap in history, something missing
from the plan for humankind.
Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only
to you. Enjoy it and share it!
No one can reach out to others in the same way
that you can. No one can speak your words.
No one can convey your meanings. No one can
comfort with your kind of comfort. No one can
bring your kind of understanding to another
person.
No one can be cheerful and lighthearted and
joyous in your way. No one can smile your smile
.
No one else can bring the whole unique impact of
you to another human being.
Share your uniqueness. Let it be free to flow out
among your family and friends and people you
meet in the rush and clutter of living wherever you
are. That gift of yourself was given you to enjoy
and share. Give yourself away!
See it! Receive it! Let it tickle you!
Let it inform you and nudge you and inspire you!
YOU ARE UNIQUE!
