Inner Strength


Have you ever felt that you need something to keep you on track when you feel you are just too busy, too tired, uncertain and a little confused?  Several years ago I came across this powerful poem and I often read it to remind myself of what is important in my life.  I have also included it on my website as a reminder to everyone who stumbles upon it to live their lives to the fullest.  Enjoy!

Take time to work,
It is the price of success.

Take time to meditate,
It is the source of power.

Take time to play,
It is the secret of perpetual youth.

Take time to read,
It is the way to knowledge.

Take time to be friendly,
It is the road to happiness.

Take time to laugh,
It is the music of the soul.

And take time to love
And be loved.

Adapted from an old Irish prayer
