Live Life

Life is crazy
And totally unpredictable...
It's going to push you over,
Kick you while you're down,
And hit you when you try to get back up.
Not everything can beat you.
Things are going to change you,
But you get to choose which ones you let change you.
Listen to your heart,
Follow your dreams,
And let no one tell you what you're capable of.
Push the limits,
Bend the rules,
And enjoy every minute of it.
Laugh at everything.
Live for as long as you can.
Love all,
But trust none.
Believe in yourself,
And never lose faith in others.
Settle for nothing but only the best,
And give 110% in everything you do.
Take risks,
Live on the edge,
Yet stay safe,
And cherish every moment of it.
Life is a gift.
Appreciate all the rewards,
And jump on every opportunity.
Not everyone's going to love you,
But who needs them anyway?
Challenge everything,
And fight for what you believe.
Back down to nothing,
But give in to the little things in life,
After all, that is what makes you.
Forget the unnecessary,
But remember everything.
Bring it with you everywhere you go.
Learn something new,
And appreciate criticism.
Hate nothing,
But dislike what you want.
Never forget where you came from,
And always remember where you are going.
Live life to its fullest,
And have a reason for everything,
Even if it's totally insane.
Find your purpose in life,
And live it!

Such a wonderful poem with precious advice! Most people seem to get inevitably entangled in the most peculiar behaviors so specifically characterized in homo sapiens:
He gets tired of his childhood and hastens to grow up; then he becomes nostalgic about his childhood. To gain wealth, he would endanger his health; then to regain his lost health, he spends wealth. He lives as if he will never die; then he dies as if he has never lived. He thinks about his future so much that he loses today, while life is neither past nor future, but the present.

I absolutely loved this poem. Live life. There is so much wisdom in these valuable words. If only everyone could live their lives by these standards it would be a happier, better world. Wonderful poem!

Thank you for sharing. The circumstances of life we all grow to understand are tools. Tools for which we need maintained and are overlooked often. It's easy to become lost and depressed when your focus is no longer seeing potential and achievements. Allowing others to frame decisions, make judgement, and employ actions in yourself that are uncharacteristic. Giving up is an option. The choices we make develop and give shape to the future. We can never forget that we are not the only ones affected by decision. The key, I feel, is the integrity and strength given to us by God as gifts, to encounter and embrace good and bad trials. To put knowledge into action, resulting in wisdom. Allow your heart to work in tandem with all elements. Find love in yourself to love yourself. Thank and appreciate life. It can be spectacular and fulfilling when we, at times, stop to really smell the roses.

A poem like this deserves to be shared with the world , so many people out there live a life completely sheltered and never know what it can be or is about. It tells truth but also motivates. I have to stand up in front of my wrestling team and read out a speech and in it I think I will share this wonderful poem .
