Inner Strength

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains
If you can resit complaining and boring people with your trouble
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when, through no fault of yours,something goes wrong
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment
If you can face the world without likes and deceit
If you can conquer tension without medical help
If you can relax without liquor
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs
If you can do all these things..................

Then you are probably the family dog!
