"A Cherokee Feast Of Days"

January 11

Never respond to the words of a critic. If there

is a lesson in what has been said, learn it

quickly but give yourself credit for knowing some

thing. Fight the urge to fight. Don't argue with

stupidity--it rubs off on you. Know who you are

and don't worry about what other people think.

Be your own best friend and avoid trouble like poison,

which it is. Be steadfast in good times and bad.

Tell fear to get lost and let doubt go with it. Always

being in the wrong gets to be a habit, whether or

not we are wrong. Time is precious--use it wisely.

It is our duty to think and act and speak in such

a way that others will always know who we are.

When we are our true selves, others will be less

likely to criticize us.

I believe much trouble and blood would be saved if

we opened our hearts more.
