063Tribute to Desiderata

A poem by Max Ehrmann has been my favorite since 1993. Way before the internet was accessible to us. There was still no emails or blogs. I think it was discussed in my English Literature class and it is really simple and yet packed a punch in my oh so young mind. I don’t remember the name of the teacher though. Well, my tip for you to be happy is find it within you. There is no need to find it elsewhere or with someone else. I’m not talking about drugs or you trying to be in a nirvana state on your own (that is dangerous so don’t try it at home) . All I’m saying is you must accept who you are and if you want to lose some bad trait or habit, it has to start from you. No amount of prodding or nagging from another person can make you change. I will not be that person to you and I won’t waste my energy wanting you to change. Be careful with what you want to change. It could be something this consumeristic world wanted you to do. BEWARE!!!
