LORD,
Make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred ~ let me sow love.
Where there is injury ~ pardon.
Where there is doubt ~ faith.
Where there is despair ~ hope.
Where there is darkness ~ light.
Where there is sadness ~ joy.
OH DEVINE MASTER
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled ~ as to concole.
To be understood ~ as to understand.
To be loved ~ as to love.
FOR
It is in giving ~ that we receive.
It is in pardoning ~ we are pardoned.
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Realise you are human and you make mistakes. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose those you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin!

Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.
