Be understanding to your perceived enemies.
Be loyal to your friends.
Be strong enough to face the world each day.
Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything alone.
Be generous to those who need your help.
Be frugal with that you need yourself.
Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything.
Be foolish enough to believe in miracles.
Be willing to share your joys.
Be willing to share the sorrows of others.
Be a leader when you see a path others have missed.
Be a follower when you are shrouded by the mists of uncertainty.
Be first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds.
Be last to criticize a colleague who fails.
Be sure where your next step will fall, so that you will not tumble.
Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way.
Be loving to those who love you.
Be loving to those who do not love you; they may change.
Above all, Be yourself.

Thanks again Sam and have a splendid weekend!!
Great and wonderful quote Ms. Sam! I love it. The photo made this post so lovely. :)
Very nice Sam. So inspiring. Thank you for these reminders. Sometimes we forget and get so busy with our daily lives.
This is a lovely quote. It's always nice to see these. I think the thing I like best about this particular quote is the implication that being kind helps you to do better in life - it's not a commonly held idea, but I'd love it if it would become one, and then move on up to being true on more than a semi-regular basis. It'd be truly lovely if it would.
I suppose a Geisha-inspired getup does kind of explain the heels, as long as she was taking inspiration from their hair pieces. It's also unlikely that I'll ever do a makeup post - I don't actually wear makeup, you see, other than extremely rare occasions, and it's very limited (like...basically all I really do is mascara and maybe something on my lip at most?) It'd be interesting, but it's not something that's really a part of my life or that I really know much about (unless we're talking stage makeup, but I'm pretty sure no one ever wants to use that much blush). It would probably feel really inauthentic and awkward just because it's not something that I really do, and doing something just to do it isn't something I think I'd be comfortable doing with my blog. If I ever actually start caring about makeup, though, I'll definitely post about it, but as long as I'm still stuck in the mode of having to announce that I actually put makeup on for something, that's probably not something that'll happen. Sorry. :c
Also, part of the reason that I write personal things is that I'm absolutely unable to express them otherwise, so they can just build until I explode into all these repressed emotions that nobody understands or knows how to react to, including me, and it's better to give myself some sort of outlet before that happens. I do enjoy lighter things, though even things like fashion have their dark and heavy sides, and I do enjoy the dichotomy of that. (And it's always lovely to see you on my blog. c: )
Happy Friday!

Love it. Although I think half the fun isn't knowing where the destination is. Or exactly where it is. i think sometimes I get too fixated on the destination and then it becomes the wrong path but I want to make it to the destination and don't realise it. If that makes any sense.

Hi Sam! As have told you million times, your weekend posts are my fav to browse, in particular the Friday Frills, in fact I usually leave the page open to read with attention your pure words of wisdom. I really love what you shared today, you spread a positive message and much encouragement. At the end of the poem I will add, "above all be and love yourself". In my personal experience I can say that many times we are inclined to please everybody or be in the way they would us, just to be accepted making the things make them happy but maybe not us. So my advise is always doing what we feel and be in the way we are, in the most honest way possible; always have true and correct relationships with people and if there is something or someone that/who doesnt fit us, be kind and polite; having good contacts remaining faithful with ourselves and our personality without changing just to be accepted:) Happy Friday Sam! Big hugs and kisses! xo
Nice post :)

These words are so inspiring! And made me pensive... "be loving to the ones who love you". I carry some feeling of guilt because of that, but we just don't know what to do sometimes... and there's one sentence so similar to one I heard this week and am planning to post soon... "Somestimes we have to forget what we want in order to understand what we deserve..." I thought it was like one of the sentences now! Thank you so much for your support, and have a great weekend!
Well said!
Oo, that is really great said. Have a nice day.
