Always Have Hope



Hope gives you the strength to keep going

When you feel like giving up.

Don't ever quit believing in yourself

As long as you believe you can

You will have a reason for trying.

Don't let anyone hold your happiness in their hands

Hold it within yours, so it will always be within your reach.

Don't measure success or failure by material wealth

But by how you feel.

As our feelings determine the richness of our lives.

Don't let bad moments make a quitter of you,

Be patient and they will pass.

By seeing them through

You will become a winner.

Don't hesitate to reach out for help

As we all need it from time to time.

No one can make it alone.

Don't run away from love, but towards love

As it is our deepest joy.

Don't wait for what you want to come to you

Go after it with all that you are

Knowing that life will meet you halfway.

Don't feel like you have lost when plans and dreams fall short

Of your hopes and efforts

Anytime you learn something new

About yourself or life, you have progressed

Don't do anything that takes away from your self respect.

Feeling good about yourself is essential to feeling good about life.

Don't ever forget how to laugh,or be too proud to cry

It is by doing both that we live our life to its fullest..
