Think, Decide, Do
Every thought you create
Every decision you make
Every action you take
Defines you
No matter how small
Everything you do
Matters
So the next time you have an unpleasant thought
About a person
or a situation
Try to find the good in that person,
or the good in that situation
And rise above
Because it matters
And the next time you make a decision
The next time you tell yourself, it’s no big deal
That nobody is watching
That nobody will ever know
Remember
It matters
So the next time
You do attempt to do something out of rage or animosity
Take a step back,
Take a deep breath
And think
Is this who you want to be?
Is this the action you want to be defined by?
Because, remember
What you do, matters
Every thought you create
Every decision you make
Every action you take
Defines you
Be gracious
Be good
Treat the world with kindness
Treat others with kindness
And be proud of :
Every thought you create
Every decision you make
Every action you take
