A CREED TO LIVE BY

- Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
- Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
- Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.
- Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
- Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over....... until the moment you stop trying.
- Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.
- Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
- Don't 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; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
- Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope; to be without hope is to be without purpose.
- Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been but also where you're going. Life is not a race but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Sometimes people come in to your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there...to serve some sort of purpose,teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or whom you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them,you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you that at the time may seem horrible,painful and unfair,but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential,your strength,your will power or your heart. Everything happens for a reason. Yes,EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness,love,lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of our soul. Without these small tests,life would be like a smoothly paved,straight,flat road to nowwhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet affect your life. If someone hurts you,betrays you or breaks your heart...forgive them. Forgive them not for their sake but because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you,love them back unconditionally,not only because they love you,but also because they are teaching you to love,teaching you to open your heart and eyes to little things. Let yourself fall in love,break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Create your own life and then go out and live it!!!
