Desiderata (final part)

Desiderata (final part)

A Chapter by Lizardo

I GRABBED MY SIT in the airplane. It was a 747, queen of the skies. I got a windown sity just by the wing (i loved to sit like that) so you must be thinking about the whole thing about regulus and how surreal it was. I'm with you to, i really have no idea how the hell that happened or if it was just a dream or something. But still he did say something true, i needed to stop seeing love as an enemy, instead, i should see it like my best friend. And then i remember what i told my sister Rose, the poem, Desiderata, it always gave me a lot of hope, here i show it you: 

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. by max ehrmann.

Be yourself.... That's something i needed to understand

No less than the trees and the stars.... I am worthy, because i form part of the history of Earth

Avoid loud and aggresive persons.... they can take away your happiness

Strive to be happy.... Hapiness is a word a never understood, but know i now.

Now i know that my hapiness only depends on me, not on other person. the only thing that matter to me know, is think about the future. The reason i made this short, is because i woulnd't want to bore you about the flight to London, and how my vacation was and everything. I met new friends, and did lots of new stuff.

So to finish this book with a Howler, Always be yourself, and never changed.

Your happiness depends on you, not on anybody else and as Max ehrmann said, ''Be cheerful.Strive to be happy''
