EARTH IS THE ARENA.
LIFE IS THE GAME.
WE ARE THE PLAYERS.
THE UNIVERSE IS THE CROWD.
AND GOOD OR EVIL IS OUR COACH.

LIFE IS THE POTTER'S WHEEL.
WE ARE THE CLAY.
WHO AND WHAT INFLUENCES US
IS OUR POTTER.
THE POTTER'S CREATION
IS OUR CHARACTER.
AND THE KILN OF AFFLICTION
AND ADVERSITY IS HOW WE'RE TESTED.

REACH FOR NOBLE HEIGHTS,
LIVE FOR SELFLESS ENDS,
GIVE THANKS FOR EVERY BLESSING,
RISE TO ANY TEST OR CHALLENGE, BEFRIEND ACCEPTANCE
AND CONTENTMENT,
AND WEEP AND PRAY
FOR THOSE WHO'RE HURTING
OR SUFFERING.

WHILST MAKING THE MOST OF TODAY, STILL PLAN FOR TOMORROW,
BECAUSE TOMORROW IS
DEPENDANT ON TODAY,
AND THUS ONLY FOLLY
AND SELFISHNESS THINKING
IN TERMS OF THE SHORT TERM.

YOU ARE YOUR LIFE,
SO LOOK AFTER IT,
OR THERE WON'T BE A YOU,
OR PERHAPS JUST A SHORT-LIVED YOU,
OR A RATHER MISERABLE YOU.
TO REPHRASE THINGS,
YOUR LIFE IS YOU,
SO LOOK AFTER YOURSELF.
