When Times Are Hard

 When Times Are Hard

Promise yourself to be so strong, 

Nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel there is something in them.

To look on the bright side and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, To work only for the best, 

And to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others,

as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and to press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every little creature you see a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticise others.

To be too large for worry and too small for anger,
too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

By Vivienne Hughes to Mum (Josie Hughes)

In times of my own weakness I don't always follow this myself but if you can find the strength to follow this guide, it stops you just existing and day by day, little by little, you learn to live again.

Not perhaps the way you once did because you are a different but yet a stronger person.

There are different doorways, take chances and go through them.

Life is too short, life is too precious to be passed by.

With love 💓
