...if I were to give anyone a gift, it would be that of:
Asian side, Istanbul" Be like a river in generosity and helping others,
Be like the Sun in humanity and mercy,
Be like the night in hiding other's faults,
Be like a death in rage and grouch,
Be like the earth in modesty and humility,
Be like a sea in tolerance,
Seem like you are, or be like you seem."
Rumi [1207-1273]
It probably won't change your mind. You don't plan to be awesome because YOU JUST ARE. Awareness! It's important how we are setting ourselves up for great things.
