Reflections  of Wisdom about
.
LIFE
.
 Do not undermine your worth
by 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 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 receive 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.

Don't ever be afraid to try to
take a risk in life..
You'll never know if you don't try.

Don't ever take the weight of the world
on your shoulders.

Don't ever feel threatened by the future
take life one day at a time.

Don't ever feel guilty about the past
what's done is done. Learn from any
mistakes you might have made.

Don't ever feel that you are alone
there is always somebody there for
you to reach out to.

Don't ever forget that you can achieve
so many of the things you can imagine.
It's not as hard as it seems...
But words without action accomplish nothing.

Don't ever stop loving
Don't ever stop believing,
Don't ever stop going after your dreams.
Only you can make them happen.
