Desiderata

You will live happiness
You will also find
The reason for existing

And soon you will find your place
You will achieve love,
Understanding of pain

Walk placidly amidst the noise and haste
And think of the peace that can be found
In silence,
Whenever possible and without giving up
Maintain good relationships with all people
Speak your truth in a calm and clear way
And listen to others, even the clumsy and ignorant
They too have their own story,
Avoid loud and aggressive people
For they are a nuisance to the spirit
If you compare yourself to others
You will become vain and bitter
For there will always be people greater
And smaller than you.

The reason for existing
And soon you will find your place
You will achieve love,
Understanding of pain

Enjoy your successes as well as your plans
Maintain interest in your own career
No matter how humble it may be, it is a true treasure
In the fortuitous changing of times.

Obey the advice of the years
Gracefully abandoning the things of youth
Cultivate the strength of spirit
So that it may protect you in sudden adversities
Many fears arise from fatigue and loneliness
Upon a healthy discipline, be kind to yourself
You are a creature of the universe,
No less than the plants and stars,
You have the right to exist,
And whether it is clear to you or not
Undoubtedly the universe unfolds as it should.

'Therefore, you must be at peace with God
Whatever your idea of Him may be
And whatever your labors and aspirations
Keep peace with your soul
In the noisy confusion of life
Even with all its strength, hardship
And failed dreams, the world is still beautiful
Be cautious, strive to be happy.' happiness
