Humble and Kind

Humble and Kind
-Tim McGraw

You know there's a lot that goes by the front door
Don't forget the keys under the mat
Childhood stars shine, always stay humble and kind
Go to church 'cause your momma says to
Visit grandpa every chance that you can
It won't be a waste of time
Always stay humble and kind
Hold the door say please say thank you
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got moutains to climb but
Always stay humble and kind
When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride but
Always stay humble and kind
Don't expect a free ride from no one
Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why
Bitterness keeps you from flying
Always stay humble and kind
Know the difference between sleeping with someone
And sleeping with someone you love
I love you ain't no pick up line so
Always stay humble and kind
Hold the door say please say thank you
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got moutains to climb but
Always stay humble and kind
When those dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride but
Always stay humble and kind
When it's hot, eat a root beer, a popsicle
Shut off the AC and roll the windows down
Let that summer sun shine
Always stay humble and kind
Don't take for granted the love this life gives you
When you get where you're goin'
Don't forget turn back around
Help the next one in line
Always stay humble and kind.

I hope You Find

I hope you find the kind of happiness that exists on your own terms. I hope you truly take the time to figure out what moves you, what encourages your soul, what you deeply crave in life, and I hope you have the courage to chase that. I hope you have the courage to believe that you are deserving of everything you desire......

Living with Integrity

I have been thinking about integrity a lot lately. 

I have witness people lie to my face or pretend to be someone they are not. They are living lies. Lying to others and themselves.

 This saddens me.

 It saddens me to think that people think they have to lie or manipulate others in an attempt to be liked, accepted, etc. 

It's sad to think that people are willing to do things that are ethically wrong because no one is watching or, worse, because everyone else is participating in the act. 

I don't get it. 

I guess I was just not raised that way. 

I am the same person in public as I am in private. 

My motives are pure and I live with truth and integrity

 I sleep well at night because I have stayed true to my morals and myself. 

Each day, Every moment, every choice. 

I strive to do the righteous thing. 

I choose to do the right thing despite what is popular, cool, or the norm. 

I choose to the right thing even if it's not fun, even if it's boring, or if it's hard. 

It's how I live my life. True to myself. I live with integrity.

 

I AM HERE

I am here. 

I have the courage to believe that matters. 

I have the strength to make a difference....to be different. 

Even with an empty hand, I have the means to give. I am free to become...to fail...to learn.

I have the advantage of hope. 

I have the opportunity to love...to be loved. 

I have the wisdom to know it is all a gift....all. 

When I make a decision on how I am going to live this day, and it is a decision,

I joyfully, responsibility, gratefully, face the world and say, "I am here.'
