Think of the unemployed2, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing your finger or condemning3 another,
Remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one maker4.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down,
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.
Life is a gift,
Enjoy it,
Celebrate it,
And fulfill5 it...

Love someone with what you do and the words you say，
