As you are growing up, you will notice life can appear
To be very challenging.
The world is not always a very nice place to live in.
You will see many things that make you wonder
Why bad things happen to so many.
You will see people who do not have enough food to eat
Or a place to live, and others,
Who do not like someone because they are different.
Unlike the picture below, regardless of what color your skin is,
The country you live in, your name, religion,
Or any other differences there are,
It is important you do “Not” believe anyone is better
Or more important than anyone else.
“Every Life is Equally Important”,
Regardless of any perceived differences there are between us.
Living a good life has Nothing to do with the job you have,
The amount of money you make,
If you are famous or anything else you may hear about
When you are growing up.
Rather, the only important thing is that you are a “good” person. Be someone who cares about others feelings,
Helping them whenever you can,
Treating everyone with kindness and love,
Even if they do not treat you that way.
You will find there are many in the world who are unhappy,
Afraid and worry only about themselves.
Please, do “Not” be like them.
You can change the world, if you simply “listen”
To the quiet voice in your heart and
Share that message with everyone.
Embrace life with awe. Be kind to everyone.
Share the goodness in your heart with those who are different
Or struggling. And, most importantly, treat others
Like you want to be treated.
If you do this, you will be happy.
Choose “Not” to live in a world where everyone is afraid
And worrying only about themselves.
Instead, care about others, be generous, empathetic, loving, Respectful, humble, patient, honest, compassionate, kind, positive, grateful, hopeful, and optimistic about life.
Be courageous; care about others feelings,
Be friendly and help them if they are different or in need.
If you do this, you may find your life will be happy and meaningful.
The path you choose through life will decide
The future of the world.
The older generations have “Not” done a very good job
Taking care of our planet and each other.
It is up to you, therefore, to make the changes
That must be made,
By choosing the “right” path in life.
