Be Someone

Be someone who listens,

 and you will be heard.

 Be someone who cares, and you will be loved.

Be someone who gives, and you will be blessed.

Be someone who comforts, and you will know peace.

 Be someone who genuinely seeks to understand,

and you will be wise.

Be someone kind, someone considerate,

 and you will be admired.

Be someone who values truth, and you will be respected.

 Be someone who takes action, and you will move life forward.

Be someone who lifts others higher, and your life will be rich.

Be someone filled with gratitude,

 and there will be no end to the things

for which you'll be thankful.

 Be someone who lives with joy, with purpose,

 as your own light brightly shines.

 Be, in every moment,

the special someone you are truly meant to be.
