My (albeit chaotic) spread centered around the poem (or manifesto?) Desiderata
If you don't know it find it here vvvvvvvv
Go placidly among the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
AS far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignoranf, for they too have their own story. Avoid loud and aggressive people, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans, and take pride in your career, however humble, for it is the real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let that not blind you to what virtue there is, many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly to the counsel of years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune but do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with your G(g)od(s) whatever you perceive them to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
