START LOVING YOUR LIFE
Rob Whelan & The Heartstrings
Plant the seeds and let 'em grow
Water weekly, watch 'em go
A mustard seed, it starts off small
So very soon, so strong and tall
So take care of your heart, take care of your mind
Take care of your loved ones and treat them kind
It's not so much of a sacrifice
To start loving yourself
Start loving your life
Only got one heart and one pair of eyes
To look at the world with love, not strife
Say hello to a stranger, it goes real far
To soften hearts when they're so hard
You were born to thrive, not born to strive
Step out of the darkness and out of the lights
Encouraging others is like a spark
A fire of hope to leave your mark . . .

Love this esp. : “To look at the world with love, not strife
Say hello to a stranger, it goes real far
To soften hearts when they're so hard” ❤️
More innthe "striving" not thriving phase, but hoping that I get there soon.
