Hold On

Hold On
Posted By: Kimberly John on July 22, 2005


Hold on to your FAITH
It is the source of believing that all things are possible. It is the fiber and strength of a confident soul.

Hold on to your HOPES
It banishes doubt and enables attitudes to be positive and cheerful.

Hold on to your TRUST
It is at the core of fruitful relationships that are secure and content.

Hold on to your LOVE
It is life's greatest gift of all, for it shares, cares, and gives meaning to life.

Hold on to your FAMILY and FRIENDS
They are the most important people in your life, and they make the world a better place.

They are your roots and the beginnings that you grew from. They are the vine that has grown through time to nourish you, help you on your way, and always remain close by.



Hold on to all that YOU ARE
And all that you have learned, for these things are what make you unique. Don't ignore what you feel and what you believe is right and important. Your heart has a way of speaking louder than your mind.

Hold on to your DREAMS
Achieve them diligently and honestly. Never take the easy way or surrender to deceit.

Remember others on your way and take time to care for their needs.

Enjoy the beauty around you. Have the courage to see things differently and clearly.

Make the world a better place one day at a time, and don't let go of the important things that give meaning to your life.

HOLD ON.....
To each of the above...do not let them fall to the ground to be trampled by others...
for they are YOURS!!
