Do not think of things lost; Instead, value what you still have and may yet find.
Do not cry over spilled milk;Instead, rejoice in what was left.
Do not think of what you are not;Instead, be humble with what you are and can still become.
Do not think of what others say you are;Instead, concern yourself with what you affirm to be.
Do not think of the hours and days past; Instead, look eagerly to times that are yet to come.
Do not think of what you failed to do;Instead, think of those that you were able to do and can still best do.
Do not think of mistakes committed;Instead, count the things you did right.
Do not think much of the pain you have caused;Instead, plan for ways to make amends.
Do not think of the sufferings you now bear;Instead, look to the comfort when relief draws near.
Do not consume yourself with thoughts of what could have been; Instead, marvel at what has become and will become.
Do not be anxious to attain greater happiness; Instead, content yourself with the little things which bring you bliss.
Do not aspire to fill your cup at once; Instead, have the patience to do it little by little.
And if by chance you fail, do not fret over the empty part on top;Instead, celebrate the space filled up.
Do not condemn nature when it is at its worst;Instead, think of the times when it was at its best.
Do not blame luck for things you miss;Instead, learn from things in which you have been remiss.
Nor should you curse luck or others for life's misfortunes; Instead, accept them as part of life.
I say then, Live fully, die a little,Learn much but question less.
Have just enough but give much more,Be contented each time to crave much less.
Doubt less and affirm a lot,Understand more, and be understood less.
Worry a little but hope you must,Accept all, resist the least.
For all things happen,In due time they must.
