Be yourself, but be your best self. Dare to be different and to follow your own star.
And don't be afraid to be happy. Enjoy what is beautiful. Love with all your heart and soul. Believe that those you love, love you.
Forget what you have done for your friends, and remember what they have done for you. Disregard what the world owes you, and contribute what you owe to the world.
When you are faced with a decision, make that decision as wisely as possible -- then don't dwell on it. The moment of absolute certainty never arrives.
And above all, remember that God helps those who help themselves. Act as if everything depends on you, and pray as if everything depends on God.
It is our birthright to enjoy life. Always remember that necessarily in life we experience both pleasure and pain. To enjoy and appreciate the pleasure, we need courage and strength of mind at times to deal with the pain. Living life by this credo can help us to enjoy the full experience in any circumstance, and the fact that we are able to achieve this state of mind is a gift.
