Poetry: Life

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfil it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.

-By Mother Teresa

Poetry: Be Happy, Not Perfect

There is no such thing as perfect. Where did the word come from ? The perfect husband, the perfect job the perfect house, the perfect marriage.

We are all human, living in a human world, Most are nice, sincere, loving, even kind. But perfect causes such unhappiness.

Perfect is unreal, untouchable. Accept good, well done and wonderful. Do your best, be your best. There is no such thing as perfect. Be happy, not perfect.
