To Be

To love and to be loved and to be there for those I...
cherish and care for.

To be free to be happy and to be at peace with myself...
and others.

To be able to pursue my dreams and do the things I enjoy.

To strive to the best of my ability to bring out the best in...
myself and others.

To embrace that which is life-enhancing and let go of that...
which is life-defeating.

To endure that which needs to be endured and work through...
"the what" that needs to be be.

To align myself in right association whether it be in;
thought, effort, work, values, food, or people.

To share what I have learned and what I have, with others.

To be able, great or small, to make a difference in another...
persons' life.

To be or not to be, seemed to me, to me to be more of an...
answer than a question.
