We must be honest and genuine in the way we live.
We must not pretend to be what we are not in order to look good.
Living well requires a constant vigilance, constant awareness.
When we don't pay attention to the way we live, it is all too easy to slip into bad habits and nonproductive ways of thinking, behaving and conducting ourselves.
Live mindfully today, live an honest life.
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you but make allowance for their doubting, too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don't deal in lies, or being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not makes dreams your master,
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same.
~ Rudyard Kipling
