Realistic

As much as you are able be loyal and reliable.
Pursue trust and humility as you might queue for new clothes.
Be patient with yourself and with others if you can.
And know that you will fail at all these things, from time to time.
So be realistic.

Hold onto hope, and whenever you lose sight of it,
Hold onto the hope that hope will return.
Life will be difficult at times, easier on some days,
And mundane so often.
No one is always right, and it’s better to be kind anyway.
So be realistic.

Set aside judging and be gentle on yourself.
Take time to breathe and notice the beauty in the small things.
And remember that you are small yourself, and precious.
Like a pearl.
You are loveable, even when you don’t feel it.
So be realistic.

Try and ask for help when you can.
And offer what help you have to others.
Have courage, even in the small moments.
And stay open to learning new things.
And remember – life will ambush you at times.
So be realistic.

Let integrity come your way.
Know your limits and ask for help to go one step beyond them.
Look after your heart and fill it with some good things.
It’s the driving force of your life after all.
And remember – smiling is a superpower.
It can change the world.
And be realistic.

If you've appreciated this, why not...
