something i want to live by

The other day I posted a new mantra and it was all about self-belief---something I want to start living with.

Well, today I found these words---things I want to start doing.

"Before you act, listen.
Before you react, think.
Before you spend, earn.

Before you criticize, wait.

Before you pray, forgive.

Before you quit, try."

Thank-you, Hemingway.

You sure know how to use verbs to really invoke action.
