All of our lives, the shadow of the hour hand follows the clock face of our destinies until at noon, the shadow falls upon the twelve and the hand seizes to move, so:

If you're going to live: Be alive

If you're going to believe: Be Faithful

If you're going to dream: Make it a destiny

If you're going to love: Make it great

There is no room for negatives in this short repose, no time for hatred, no space for jealousy, no reason to lay down and go gently into the night, and no place for shadows of darkness or tears or anger.

Be happy, be at peace, be fulfilled, be loved, be great, strive, hope, rally, stand tall, embrace this life, be free, be...

Move to your own beat, dance to your own tune, run to your own rhythm, fly if you want to, don't chain your feet to the ground, don't settle your heart upon the unmovable, don't move to the beat of a different heart, rise up and scream halleluja at the top of your lungs.

Live. It's the greatest gift you will ever have.

Love, it is the best thing that will ever happen to you. Believe it is the only truth that is finite.

Dreams have no limitations and no walls if it is hitched to faith.

Strive, nothing happens without effort and the will to push through.

Don't let your life rush by unharnessed. Watch the stream follow the riverbed. Smell the roses, appreciate the beautiful, the good, and the great, and wait patiently. Take everything one moment at a time. Glory in the spectacle of the setting sun; count the stars and appreciate the morning glow, glory be.

Life is not your right. It's not your will, so appreciate every moment with every fiber of your being. Be strong, be happy, be awed, be grateful, be amazed, and believe.

Hallelujah,

Amen.
