Steps to Happiness

Everybody Knows:

* You can't be all things to all people.
* You can't do all things at once. You can't do all things equally well.
* You can't do all things better than everyone else.
* Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's.

So:

* You have to find out who you are, and be that.
* You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
* You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
* You have to learn not to compete with others, Because no one else is in the contest of *being you*.

Then:

* You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
* You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
* You will have learned to live with your limitations.
* You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due. And you'll be a most vital mortal.

Dare To Believe:

* That you are a wonderful, unique person.
* That you are a once-in-all-history event.
* That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are.
* That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish. And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.
