your time is limited so dont waste it living someone elses life,dont be trapped by dogma; which is living with the results of other ppls thinking, dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice, and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition

DesiderataGo placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

I actually have this hanging, Wash. I like the simplicity of the message. It's amazing how many people forget how simple life can be.

It is only recently that Max was given the credit for it. Usually the posters have something like "Found hanging in a church in...USA, author unkown."

Always found it reassuring.

I just went to check my copy and you are right, it's got 'Max' on the bottom... the previous copy that my daughter damaged taking it on and off so much... was signed as 'unknown'. I wonder how they finally attributed the author to it.
