Ecclesiastes 8:1

'Who is like the wise? 
And who knows the interpretation of a thing?
 A man's wisdom makes his face shine, 
and the hardness of his face is changed.'

'WISDOM OF ELDERS'

Crave for a thing,

You will get it.

Renounce the craving,

The object will 
Follow you by itself.

If you cease 
To pursue
And relinquish it,

You may find

Appropriate solutions,

Just waiting for you 
On the shelf.

Determine 
Never to be idle

That way,

Your life won't 
Be a riddle.

No person will have

Occasion to complain,

Of the want of time

Who never loses any.

For much abundance

Will remain,

A mere eternity 
Of plenty.

It is wonderful,

How much 
May be done

If we are 
Always doing.

Dig well below,

The surface of
 Your fears,
To find the 
Wonders brewing.

Do not weep;

Do not wax indignant.

Understand.

Show up;

Cultivate your gifts,

Lend a helping hand.

Do you want to know

Who you are?

Don't ask. Act!

Action will delineate

And define you.

And that's a fact!

Either you 
Run the day

Or the day runs you.

So let each day,

Present itself anew.

Even if you 
Fall on your face

You're still 
Moving forward.

Getting started

Can sometimes seem,

A little awkward.

Expect problems 
And eat them 
For breakfast.

Problems run away,

From those 
Who are steadfast.

Fear cannot be 
Without hope

Nor hope 
Without fear.

Down cannot be 
Without up,

Nor front 
Without its rear.

Follow your dreams,

Work hard,

Practice 
And persevere.

Have faith,

With positive regard

Keep your 
Mental state clear.

Make sure you eat

A variety of foods.

Being hungry

May feed negativity

To your moods.

Get plenty of exercise

And maintain,

A healthy lifestyle.

Pleasant emotions,

Are precisely, 
What makes life

Feel so worthwhile.
