What a comfortable life , once you stop competing

                                                                                                         Nobody asks who you were,important only, who you are!

                                                                                                         Former credentials don't matter anymore..

                                                                                                         so what have you been thrieving for?

                                                                                                         Now health only matters, honest friends and a comfortable life.

                                                                                                         Efforts from the past are now rewarding, but only award yours.

                                                                                                         Competing "good times friends" disappear having problems

                                                                                                         to admit that also their lives have new priorities:

                                                                                                         fighting obesity, cholesterol, back pains and confusion.

                                                                                                         Numerous golden rings and watches don't matter any longer....

                                                                                                         an attached animal can bring more joy.

                                                                                                         Family---children become important in union.

                                                                                                         Grandchildren are the new delight.

                                                                                                         Good memories bring back a happy face.

                                                                                                         Bad life experiences are accepted as part of life and fate.

                                                                                                         Saddening the disappearance of close Family and Friends.

                                                                                                         Consoling the thought that also I will have to go one day,

                                                                                                         but only to meet them all again.

                                                             Welch ein behagliches Leben, nicht mehr im Wettstreit zu stehen,

                                                                                                          niemand fragt Dich, wer Du warst, wichtig einzig, wer Du bist!

                                                                                                          Frühere Erfolge spielen keine Rolle mehr,

                                                                                                          also, wonach hast Du gestrebt?

                                                                                                          Jetzt zählt nur Gesundheit, wahre Freunde und ein angenehmes Leben.

                                                                                                          Die Mühen der Vergangenheit machen sich bezahlt, doch bewahre Dich selbst.

                                                                                                          Konkurrierende „Freunde im Erfolg" entschwinden bei Problemen, um

                                                                                                          zu gestehen, dass auch ihr Leben neue Prioritäten hat:

                                                                                                          Kampf gegen Fettleibigkeit, Cholesterin, Rückenschmerzen und Verwirrungen.

                                                                                                          Zahllose goldene Ringe und Uhren bedeuten nichts mehr...

                                                                                                          Ein anhängliches Tier kann mehr Freude bringen.

                                                                                                          Familie...Kinder werden wichtig durch Verbundenheit.

                                                                                                          Enkel sind das neue Glück.

                                                                                                          Schöne Erinnerungen lassen Dein Gesicht vor Freude strahlen.

                                                                                                          Schlechte Erfahrungen werden als Teil des Lebens und Schicksals akzeptiert.

                                                                                                          Das Entschwinden naher Familie und Freunde betrübt.

                                                                                                          Tröstlich der Gedanke, dass auch ich eines Tages gehen muss,

                                                                                                          doch nur, um sie alle wieder zu sehen.
