Learn To Listen
By "Doris," Resident at Friendship House, Oxford
Learn to listen like a teddy bear, with ears open and mouth closed tight.
Learn to forgive like a teddy bear, with an open heart, not caring who is
right.
Learn to love like a teddy bear, with arms open and imperfect eyesight.
Do not ask for your life's load lightened, but for courage to endure.
Do not ask for fulfillment in all of your life; do not ask for perfection in
all you do, but for the wisdom not to repeat mistakes.
And finally, do not ask for more, before saying "Thank you" for what you
have already received.
If you're looking for somebody to blame - look in the mirror.
There is no challenge that cannot be met, and no dream that cannot be
achieved.
Tell someone today that you love them and show them you care. |
