Be Tough When You Have To Be Tough

Be Tough --

but Gentle

Be tough when you have to be tough. don't submit to wrong. Don't believe lies. Don't let life cut you down.

         But be gentle too. Be gentle with yourself. Be gentle with others. Be gentle with the little sprigs of Kindness that you see springing up in yourself and others.

           Nurture the good you see in yourself no matter how small its beginning. And nurture the good in others.

Look for the flowers, not the weeds.
