Don't give up!

Even when you get a little discouraged, don't allow yourself to give up. Only when you have done your very best can you stop and say to yourself, "I tried", and that's what matters most.

If you back away from obstacles that appear before you because they seeem too diffficult, then you're not being true to yourself. Don't be afraid to take risks, or even to fail. It isn't about winning or losing. It's about loving yourself enough and believing in who you are that counts in the end.

Throughout your life, you will undoubtedly face challenges that may try your patience. Just remember that it is you who will always come out ahead, as long as you know in your heart that you did the best you could and that's all that really matters.
