A Little Guide to Life

Be good to yourself,

there are some things everyone deserves-

LOVE, RESPECT, time to recharge...

NEVER settle for less.

Seek out your dreams.

Start small. 

Take it as it comes.

Even a butterfly

 has to inch along before getting its wings.

Listen to your HEART.

Trust your gut.

If the way seems unclear,

Look within you.

Let your voice be heard.

You have a story to tell,

and opinions that count. 

And a difference to make.

Stay curious.

WONDER.

Take every opportunity to learn.

Knowledge is a gift,

It will take you places.

Hold on to what's important.

Let worries go.

No matter how you look at it,

some things just don't make sense.

The way you choose to carry on is what really matters.

And when you make that list, 

of what YOU want in life - 

make another list of what you've got.

Be sure to start with all the things

that make YOU a beautiful person.

There are so many.

Most of all,

Remember...

You're loved always.

This came from my birthday card that I received on my 24th birthday from my mom.
I teared up as I read this because it's everything she has always said to me,
cheered me on to do, and taught me. 
My mom is the most inspirational, loving, caring,
thoughtful and encouraging person that I know. 
This card is truly just an example of the undying love,
support and encouragement my mom shows me every day.
Love you, MOM!
