Don't Be

by Pam Majidy   May 15, 2012


Don't be angry- for it causes us to live life hardened and cold, untouchable and dark.
Don't be sad- for it causes us to think depreciating thoughts.
Don't be evil- for it sets up a path of destruction and unhappiness.
Don't be to good either- this sets standards, which are often hard to meet.

Don't be a leader- if you're not ready for what comes with it
Don't be a follower- if you can't keep up
Don't say you're sorry unless you mean it or ready to show it.
Don't be a perfectionist- its too much work
Don't be a failure- unless you learn and understand why
Don't be a success- if you can't share it with anyone or remember who helped you along the way.

Don't be afraid- it inhibits our potential and takes away our chances at greatness
Don't be ignorant- it limits the life we can lead
Don't listen- unless you hear; don't look-unless you see.

Don't read this unless you decide to change and understand what you don't want to be.
