THE  EARLY YEARS

(WORDS NOT LOST ALONG THE WAY)

 do not hassle me...

 allow me my privacy...

give me love, patience
 and understanding...

 please hear everything I say...

 compromise...

here... there... and everywhere
never hold back any thought, feeling,
statement or question,
 for held back it hurts you...

find the path of least harm,
and most good,
 and let it out..

 never apologize...
 unless you are sorry...
 or wrong...

 always speak your mind...

have an opinion about all
aspects of life, yours,
 and all you come into contact with...

 experience desire...
 it is your emotion...
possess it
empower it
become aware
 of every slight feeling within you...
 and around you...

 control your own destiny...

 make your own decisions,
 form your own opinions...

never close your mind to any thought,
 view, feeling, problem, hassle...

always place yourself in
the position from which you
 have the clearest view...

and be there.

 actualize honesty...
and freedom,
and love, patience, and understanding,
 and thoughts, feelings, and desires...
and yourself.

***

strive for perfection
 in all undertakings...

never be completely satisfied with
 second best...

 learn to be happy with you...

identify what you want
 by being honest with yourself...

always determine the
simplest and best method
 to obtain your ultimate goal...

and do it.

in every situation
always remember how you
want to be treated and
 treat other people accordingly...

all people are equal...
 even those who don't consciously know it yet...

give everyone the same
 respect you request...
regardless of how much they
 deserve, request, or reject themselves...

remember always the
four keys:

Freedom              
           Honesty       
                     Confidence
                                  Patience

always imagine yourself
independent, for you never
 know when you might have to be...

 love...

before any decision or stand,
be sure you are in a state
of total awareness and
 free from external distractions...

develop your mind and body
 to their full potential...

develop your philosophy and
 live by it completely...

always remain calm and in
 control of your senses and actions...

 never disguise a lack of desire with "I can't"...

 feel...

 know...

 be...

 do...

 care...

share.
