Trish found this in Mom's bible, it's just the sort of thing Mom loved, so I thought I'd share it.
Don't let go of 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 reason for trying.
Don't let anyone hold your happiness in their hands,
Hold it in yours so it will always be within your reach.
Don't measure success or failure by material wealth but by how you feel,
Our feelings determine the richness of our lives.
Don't let bad moments overcome you,
Be patient and they will pass.
Don't hesitate to reach out for help,
We all need it from time to time.
Don't run away from love but toward love,
Because 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 lost when plans and dreams fall short of your hopes,
Anytime you learn something new about life or about yourself 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 or too stubborn to smile.
Very good wisdom to live by. Thanks for sharing.
