If you want your life to have true value,
bring a gift to the world.
Bring your love, not your fear.
Bring your compassion, not your hatred.
Bring your joy, not your suffering.
Bring your optimism, not your doubt.
Bring your beautiful, already free, smiling presence.
Bring your open loving heart so that all beings everywhere will feel your goodness, and when you pass they too will smile and share their joy.
Some things are better left sleeping while other things will nourish the universe.
If you want your life to have value, bring the best part of you to the world.
