Life Legacies

Something someone told me:

Life Legacies

Live Deep
     Never stop learning, playing,
     Or finding wonder in the world 
     Around you. 
     Live the length of your life,
     But live the depth if it as well. 
Travel Light
     There is no use in carrying around
     Worry and regret. 
     They only weigh you down. 
     Always keep yourself open
     To hope and love. 
Forgive Imperfections 
     In yourself and others. 
     Imperfections keep things  
     interesting. 
     They're the cracks 
     Where the light shines through. 
Own Beautiful Things
     And not just to keep in a drawer,
     Tucked away for a perfect day. 
     Surround yourself with things 
     That make you happy,
     That remind you of the beauty 
     All around us
     If we only keep our eyes 
     open to it. 
Make Mistakes
     Follow detours. 
     Sometimes it takes an unexpected 
     Turn to help us find the life 
     That is waiting for us around the 
      bend. 
     Trust yourself and the path 
     That is meant for you. 
Take Care of Yourself
     And sometimes that means 
     You need the ice cream. 
     Be good to your body, 
     Be also to your mind and spirit. 
     You are the only one who can. 
And Always Know You Are Loved.
