Believe In Yourself
Believing in yourself
standing for what you believe in
regardless of the odds against you
and the pressure that tears at your resistance
means courage
Keeping a smile on your face
when from the inside you feel like dying for the sake of supporting others
means strength
Stopping at nothing
and doing what in your heart you know is right
means determination
Doing more than is expected
to make another's life a little more bearable
without uttering a single complaint means compassion
Helping a friend in need
no matter the time or effort to the best of your ability means loyalty
Giving more than you have and expecting nothing but gratitude in return means selflessness
Holding your head high
and being the best you know you can be when life seems to fall apart at your feet and facing each difficulty with the confidence that time will bring
you better tomorrows and never giving up means believing in yourself
