Motivational Poem -
Life Is....
by Mother Teresa

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, fulfill 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.

“Life, in every condition can be lived in freedom and joy, provided the soul within remains unattached to external forms of life.”

- Swami Ramdas
The Essential Swami Ramdas (Library of Perennial Philosophy)

You don't get to choose how you are going to die. Or when.
You can only decide how you are going to live. Now.

~ Joan Baez
