INNER STRENGTH IS
If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand why loved ones are
too busy to give you much time,
If you can overlook that people take things out on you
when you’ve done nothing wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs
If YOU can do all these things
YOU ARE PROBABLY THE PET DOG.
