Many people in life do not understand just how precious every moment of life is. You have only one life. You have opportunities that will come, it’s up to you to take advantage of them. If you have someone who is precious to you, don’t lose it out of temporary fits of emotion, or confusion. Look at your life as a whole, always focus on the big picture, otherwise you lose your perspective on things, and those precious opportunities, those fantastic blessings that come into your life can disappear, along with the possibilities of what could be.. the most wonderful moments of your life.
Below is a Writing of Baha’u'llah which I try to use as a guide in the way I live my life each day. I might be young, but our time on this earth is short, and any moments spent in fussing and fighting are the most wasted moments and chances of your life. Read the following Writing. I hope you may adopt it as your guide in your life. It’s obvious that one who trying to life their lives in accordance to these words would lead a very fulfilled, happy, and noble life.

Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer to the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge. Be fair in thy judgment, and guarded in thy speech. Be unjust to no man, and show all meekness to all men. Be as a lamp unto them that walk in darkness, a joy to the sorrowful, a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression. Let integrity and uprightness distinguish all thine acts. Be a home for the stranger, a balm to the suffering, a tower of strength for the fugitive. Be eyes to the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring. Be an ornament to the countenance of truth, a crown to the brow of fidelity, a pillar of the temple of righteousness, a breath of life to the body of mankind, an ensign of the hosts of justice, a luminary above the horizon of virtue, a dew to the soil of the human heart, an ark on the ocean of knowledge, a sun in the heaven of bounty, a gem on the diadem of wisdom, a shining light in the firmament of thy generation, a fruit upon the tree of humility.
Baha’u'llah
