A Creed To Live By
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.
