Don't undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others.
It is because we are different that
each of us are special. Don't set
your goals by what other people
deem important. Only do 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 life slip through your
fingers by living in the past or
in the future. By living one day
at a time you live all 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 to
each other.
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 is impossible. The
fastest way to lose love is to hold
to it tightly, and the best way
to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't dismiss your dreams. To be
without dreams 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 have
been, but also where you are going.
Life is not a race, but a journey
to be savoured each step of the
way.
