TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME

It's true that sometimes life is full
of trying circumstances,
And sometimes we must struggle
For just minimal advances.

Despite events that slow us down
And magnify our worries,
We must learn that progress is
A word that seldom hurries.

To try to grasp the total picture
Is a strong temptation.
Often we attempt too much
And add to our frustration.

Laying out before us
All the things that must be done
May be harder than to focus
On a single one.

Don't approach so many tasks
That all your hopes are gone.
A single step will lead you to
Another later on.

Hi,

I love this. Thinking about sending it to my WH as an encouragement but maybe I should not?

Any opinions?

Be Yourself
The world would like to change you;
There are pressures all around.
You must decide just who you are,
Then firmly hold your ground.
You have an image of yourself,
An ideal sense of you;
And to this vision you must always
Struggle to be true.

You know what you are good at,
And you know where talents lie;
But if you’re ruled by others,
Your uniqueness could pass by.

Remember there is much to learn;
But all new things aren’t good.
Wisdom lies in what you’ve learned
And what you have withstood.

Believe in Yourself

Believe in yourself
To the depth of your being.
Nourish the talents
Your spirit is freeing.

Know in your heart
When the going gets slow
That your faith in yourself
Will continue to grow.

Don't forfeit ambition
When others may doubt.
It's your life to live ---
You must live it throughout.

Learn from your errors ---
Don't dwell in the past.
Never withdraw
From a world that is vast.

Believe in yourself;
Find the best that is you.
Let your spirit prevail;
Steer a course that is true.
