“Life is not a Race”

One of my childrens teachers handed this out the night when we met the teachers. I just loved this and thought I would share it:

“Life is not a race – but indeed a journey. Be honest. Work hard. Be choosy. Say “thank you,” and “great job” to someone each day. Take time for reflection and meditation. Let your handshake mean more then pen and paper. Love your life and what you’ve been given. It is not accidental – search for your purpose and do it best you can. Dreaming does matter. It allows you to become that which you aspire to be. Laugh often. Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them. Some of the best things really are free. Do not worry, less wrinklies are more becoming. Forgive, it frees the soul. Take time for yourself – plan fir longevity. Recognize the special people you’ve been blessed to know. Live for today, enjoy the moment.”
