Love who you are

Statt Neujahrsvorsätzen ein paar einfache Regeln

Don't stop trying, there's always reason to go on living
I'm living as long as you can breathe
Stay clear of extremes, just say what you mean
But try not to be mean

You should say thank you often

Like your hair
Wave to strangers everywhere
Do what you're supposed to do
Don't look at what the others do

Think before you buy a car
Don't marry someone you met at a bar
There's no such thing as going too far
Love who you are

Don't be scared of what's ahead
But wear a helmet to protect your head
Be aware, say you care, don't say fair
Stay close to the hand that raised you

Watch for signs
Never waste expensive wine
Spoil your body, spoil yourself
Never cheat and share your wealth

Sing when you're glad
Close the door if you sound bad
Don't believe a man who knows he's right
Don't skip ahead, enjoy your flight

Be nice to your dog, drive slow in the fog
Convince yourself to write a song
Change clothes everyday

Call ahead when you're late
Be safe when you're planning to get laid

Read what you like
Be on your brother's side

It's okay to wonder why

But don't expect to understand your life

(Sarah Bettens: "Don't stop")
