Some people believe they need 

a metaphorical fortress in self-defense 

against a fictitious enemy.

Whenever you achieve a success, 

celebrate "You"! In fact you, too, 

have much to offer to the world.

Both memories and careful planning 

can be useful. 

But without clinging.

Beauty is everywhere,  

if human beings learn 

how to really look.

If  you perceive that Life 

has taught you lessons, 

it means you have acquired maturity.

If Life is a stage, what is your role? 

Ask yourself if such a role has been 

assigned to you by someone else, 

or if it was your own choice.

Assessing the situation may be hard 

from an emotional point of view. 

But understanding will be rewarding 

as well as encouraging.

If you just relax, 

life becomes much easier, 

less stressful and definitely more pleasant.

A dose of optimism is necessary 

to live a pleasant, 

although vigilant, life.
