Who I wish To Be
I would like to see beauty in everyone, no matter how ugly their hearts may seem.
 
 I would like to live each day with a selfless, open-minded, and sincere attitude, no matter how hard it is.
 
 I would like to appreciate the things we most often take for granted, no matter how small.
 
 I would like to be kind, loving, and understanding toward all others, no matter how they treat me.
 
 I would like to put my all into everything I do, no matter how small it is.
 
 I would like to be known as a responsible, trustworthy, and a reliable person, no matter who is talking about me.
 
 I would like to be optimistic towards life, no matter what the situation.
  
 I would like to help people in need, no matter how busy my life seems.
 
 I would like to be seen always with a smile on my face, no matter what I am going through.
 
 I would like to forgive, no matter how severe the hurt I feel towards the person.
 
 I would like to be thankful for all I have, no matter  what I wish I had.
 
 I would like to not blame others for my own problems, no matter what, know that I make my own decisions.
  
 But above all else,
 
 I would like to treasure my God, my family, and my friends, no matter what.
