>You are Worthy

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
Closet to your heart
Cling to them as you would your life,
for without them, life is meaningless.
Do not let your life slip through y our 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.

In addition, the best way to keep
Love is to give it wings
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 journet to be savored
Each step of the way.
