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 a 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 reveal the richness of our lives.
Don't let bad moments make a quitter of you.
Be patient and they will pass.
By seeing them through you will become a winner.
Don't hesitate to reach out for help
as we all need it from time to time.
Don't run away from love but towards love
as 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've lost when plans and dreams fall short of your hopes.
Anytime you learn something new about yourself or about life,
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.
It is by doing both
that we live life to the fullest.

Don't let go of hope.
Hold  onto it, hold onto it, with all your heart.....
