Be Gentle With Yourself
Be gentle with yourself in your walk. Be gentle with others in your dealings. Be gentle with the environment you live in. Be gentle with humanity but don't be deceived. Life can be tricky and risky, be willing to learn. Life can be unforgiving, be glad to relearn. Life can be canny and unkind, but be kind. Life can be strange and someway, but live it. Life can be a blessing, embrace it and live. Life can be a school, relish the lesson and live. Life comes in seasons, so live by reason. If there is anything you can do now, do it. If there is any idea you can offer, share it. If there is any kindness you can give, do it. If there are any words worth sharing, say them. If there are any concerns, convey them with tact. If there are any commendation echo them. Beyond acquiring a decent discipline, be gentle. Beyond achieving a goal of dignity, be generous. Beyond attaining power and authority, be simple. Beyond accomplishing excellence, be humble. As a pilgrim on this pilgrimage, you
