Inner Peace

• If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
• If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
• If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
• If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
• If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
• If you can overlook people taking things out on you when, through no fault of your own, something goes wrong,
• If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
• If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
• If you can conquer tension without medical help,
• If you can relax without liquor.
• If you can always sleep without the aid of drugs,

Then........

You are probably the family dog.
