Pleasure in simple things.
Take a pinch of salt, so happiness doesn’t consume you.
Take a spoonful of fear, so that you may feel growth.
Sip a cup of sadness; when the cup is finished, so is the sadness.
Take a bowl of joy, and consume it with all that you have.
Place a plate of regret before you; a little bite is enough to change your ways.
Build a table that breathes life into you, where friends feel they belong.
Find a love that makes you build a house, so that it may become a home.
Read enough books, but too much consuming may lead to solitude.
Love with your heart, live with your head; this journey needs your feet.
Live a fulfilling life.
