Steps To Happiness

Everybody Knows:
You can't be all things to all people.
You can't do all things at once.
You can't do all things equally well.
You can't do all things
better than everyone else.
Your humanity is showing
just like everyone else's.

So:
You have to find out
who you are, and be that.
You have to decide
what comes first, and do that.
You have to discover
your strengths, and use them.
You have to learn
not to compete with others,
Because no one else is
in the contest of *being you*.

Then:

You will have learned to
accept your own uniqueness.
You will have learned to
set priorities and make decisions.
You will have learned to
live with your limitations.
You will have learned to
give yourself the respect that is due.
And you'll be a most vital mortal.

Dare To Believe:

That you are a wonderful, unique person.
That you are a once-in-all-history event.
That i! t's more than a right,
it's your duty, to be who you are.
That life is not a problem to solve,
but a gift to cherish.
And you'll be able to stay one up on
what used to get you down
