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 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 the fragile
thread
that binds us together.
Don't be
afraid to encounter risks.
It is by
taking chances that
we learn
how to be brave.
Don't shut
love out of your life by saying
it's
impossible to find. The quickest way
to receive
love is to give love. The fastest
way to
lose love is to hold it too tightly.
And the
best way to keep love
is to give
it wings.
Don't dismiss
your dreams.
To
be without a dream is to be without hope.
To be without
hope is to be without purpose.
Don't run
through life so fast that you
forget
not only where you've been,
but also where you are going.
Life
is not a race, but a journey
to be savored each step of the way.
