Life is too short to be spent griping about the past -
Things you don't have or places you haven't seen
Even things you haven't done
There is no need to live in the past and hinge on past regrets
Life is too short to be spent holding grievances against another
Finding fault in small things that don't matter eventually
Counting the wrongs done to you when you can have an endless release
To purge your heart of bitterness to make you go on living
Life is just long enough to enjoy the beauty of a sunrise
The smell of wet earth and the sound of laughter of a child
Or the sound of trees or the birds chirping from a distance
After a long day's work or amid the rubbles of life
Life is just long enough to practice compassion and generosity
To comfort the grieving and offer support to those in need
To lend strength to the faint-hearted or give a shoulder to a weary heart
And direction to the lost while finding your way in life too
Life is short enough to appreciate the beauty all around us
Life is long enough for us to achieve the things we want to achieve
While leaving trails of our goodness with the footprints of kindness
In the hearts of those we come across on our journey
Cheers.
