Instead of lighting a candle,
let your own light shine.
Instead of crediting others for your good deeds,
own them. They are yours!
Instead of hoping folk will pray for you,
make sure you pray for them-first.
Instead of wishing how things ought to be,
accept things as they are.
Instead of saying; 'I believe in God,'
find God first, then say 'I believe'.
Instead of praying to an Angel,
be one.
Instead of hoping for an outcome,
create one.
Instead of envying another,
humble yourself.
Instead of expecting wealth,
live a thankful life.
Instead of looking for justice,
accept wisdom.
Instead of fearing death,
accept the after-life.
Instead of following organized religion,
follow your Soul.
Instead of trying to be someone else,
be your-self!
Instead of proving Heaven,
love each other on Earth
then you will easily find Paradise.
