SOMETHING I FOUND SOME TIME AGO. YOU MAY KNOW IT, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOOD TO REMIND OURSELVES OF. :) HAVE A GREAT DAY
Never Let Go Of Hope
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks. Once you start making progress towards your goal, you will be magically propelled towards eventual reward.
Just keep listening and taking direction from inside you. Be patient; your dreams will not come true overnight.
But start now, and go with love and courage and confidence. Don't be afraid. You can do anything you believe you can.
And don't forget to keep an open mind and heart to check yourself along the way.
