「自分らしく生きる事」


「自分らしく生きる事」



友人から紹介してもらった詩です。作者は分かりません。タイトルも分かりません。

でも、内容から勝手にタイトルを付けてみました。

ちょっと長いですが、読んだらやる気が出てきます。




Many people are afraid of growing old.

I’m afraid of growing old and boring.

Many people are afraid of growing old,alone.

I’m afraid of growing old,insane.

Many people are afraid of losing their looks.

I’m afraid of losing my dreams.

Many people are afraid of losing their youth.

I’m afraid of losing my soul.



Don’t date because you’re desperate.

Don’t marry because you’re miserable.

Don’t drink because you have troubles.

Don’t gamble because you think winning is inevitable.

Don’t philander because you think you’re irresistible.

Don’t associate with people you can’t trust.

Don’t cheat.

Don’t pretend.

Don’t dictate because you’re smarter.

Don’t demand because you’re stronger.

Don’t sleep around because you can.

Don’t sell your self,your family or your ideals.

Don’t stagnate.

Don’t regress.

Don’t live in the past

- Time can’t bring anything or anyone back.

Learn a new skill.

Find a new friend.

Start a new career.

Sometimes,there is no race to be won

...Only a price to be paid for some of life’s more hasty decisions.

To make yourself happy,

Pursue your passions and be the best of what you can be.

Simplify your life.

Take away the clutter.

Get rid of destructive elements

- Abusive friends,nasty habits and dangerous liaisons.

Don’t abandon your responsibilities but don’t overdose on duty.

Don’t live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.

Be true to yourself.

Don’t commit when you’re not ready.

Don’t keep others waiting needlessly.

Go on that trip - don’t postpone it.

Say those words - don’t let the moment pass.

Do what you must even at society’s scorn.

Write poetry.

Love deeply.

Walk barefoot.

Hold hands.

Dance with wild abandon.

Cry at the movies.

Take care of yourself.

Don’t wait for someone to take care of you.

You light up your life.

You drive yourself to your destination.

No one completes you - except YOU.

Don’t be afraid.

Don’t lose your capacity to love.

Pursue your Passions.

Live your dreams.

Don’t grow old.

Just grow YOU...!
