349 Live Peacefully

“Live Peacefully”

In our youth, we make many mistakes.
This is a good thing, unless they are crimes.
The real mistake is to do nothing
Out of fear of failure and frustration.

When we make a mistake, we must reflect deeply on it
And realize our own immaturity and foolishness.
Through gaining experience, we learn
Modesty and gratitude for others.
That becomes the wisdom we need to live in peace.

From middle age to the golden years,
It is impossible to be gentle without wisdom.
That doesn’t mean a peaceful life is an uneventful one;
Even for the elderly, challenge is important.
A challenge that is suited to us
Will keep us young at heart.

It is not important whether we succeed or fail.
The challenge is fun, even if we didn’t get the results we wanted.
If we succeed, that’s even better.
A peaceful mind makes a challenge more enjoyable.

Ordinary days don’t have to be boring.
Small discoveries can grow into big delights.
Troubles can be weathered.
We want to live out our days in peace.
