Do not udermine your worth

be comparing yourself with others.

It is because we are different

that each of us is special.

Do not set your goals

by what other people deem important.

Only you know

what is best for you.

Do not take this for granted

the things closest to your heart.

Cling to them as you would your life,

for without them,

life is meaningless.

Do not let your life

slip through your fingers

by living in the past

nor for the future.

By living your life one day at a time,

you live all the days of your life.

Do not give up

when you still have something to give.

Nothing is really over

until the moment you stop trying.

It is a fragile thread that

binds us to each other.

Do not be afraid to encounter risks.

It is by taking chances

that we learn how to be brave.

Do not shut love out of your life

by saying it is impossible to find.

The quickest way to recieve love

is to give love;

The fastest way to lose love

is to hold it too tightly.

Do not dismiss your dreams.

To be without dreams

is to be without hope;

To be without hope

is to be without purpose.

Do not run through life

so fast that you forget

not only where you have been

but also where you are going.

Life is not a race,

but a journey

to be savored

each step of the way.
