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 towards love
because it is your 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 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

don’t ever forget a friend who truly loves you
as it could be that friend who is true to your needs
don’t ever forget who helped you grow as your need
for more seeds may often reappear

with all the above, live life to it’s fullest…
