Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So, I've finally decided to add a few things... well, here's one no one's seen yet:

One Must... Survive

Discover the truth
Uncover the lies
Harness the soul
Open one’s eyes

Extinguish the flames
Admire the sky
Endure the pain
Expect living to die

Develop the strengths
Acknowledge the faults
Focus one's aim
Reject assaults

Master control
Relish the thought
Consult with friends
Develop what’s taught

Contain emotion
Act one's part
Reduce the tension
Soothe one's heart

Limit one’s enemies
Redeem honor instead
Pay one’s fees
Refrain from debt

Adapt and learn
Flex in turn
Forgive when best
Survive one's test

`````````

Eh.. 'tis not complex, therefore not really good, but simplicity is what I was aiming for when I created this list of self-virtues. Comment, criticize, make suggestions; but whatever the choice, don't leave without posting at least "Hi".

PS. I know there's no punctuation, but I didn't feel like putting any in there. Let me know if it takes away from the meaning, or whatever. Thanks.

I'll put more up here later. Oh, if you want to see them ahead of time, I think some might still be in the forums... or just look at my posts.
