Daily Inspiration 2-18-14

I've had this great quote from an ad by Nike for over a year, and now is a good time to share it. I hope you enjoy it and get a lot out of it. I think it's wonderful.

"Life isn't about keeping score. 

 It's not about how many people call you 

 and it's not about who you've dated, 

 are dating, or haven't dated at all. 

 It isn't about who you've kissed, 

 what sport you play, 

 or which girl or guy likes you. 

It's not about 
your shoes or your hair 

or the color of your skin 

 or where you live or go to school. 

 In fact, it's not about grades, money, 
clothes, or colleges that accept you. 

 Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, 

 or if you are alone, 

 and it's not about how accepted 

 or unaccepted you are. 

 Life just isn't about that. 

 But life is about who you love 

and who you hurt. 

It's about how you feel about yourself. 

 It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. 

 It's about sticking up for your friends 

 and replacing inner hate with love. 

 Life is about avoiding jealousy, 

 overcoming ignorance, 
and building confidence. 

 It's about what you say 

 and what you mean. 

 It's about seeing people 

 for who they are 
and not what they have. 

 Most of all, 
it's about choosing to use your life 
to  touch someone else in a way 

 that could never have been achieved otherwise. 

 These choices are what life's about." 

It's A Great Question. What Is Life About To You? 

Spread Some Joy Today--or, spread some rumor, or share your pain. I'm sure you'll soon figure whether those work better than joy.
