Never Settle

I love my mother dearly,

But I learned from her mistakes.

Do not settle.

This is your life, and life is what you make it.

So make it great.

Make it meaningful

And make it worthwhile.

Make it make you smile.

And jump in whenever you can.

 

Take a stroll, take a walk

Down memory lane.

Is this the life you wanted?

Make is beautiful and be an inspiration.

Don't look back seeing that you ran.

 

Give a little and take a little.

Love others, but most importantly love yourself.

Discover your beauty and talents

And be the best that you can be.

 

Don't hold grudges

And be open to opportunities.

Don't be afraid to laugh out loud

And feel free to enjoy yourself.

 

Never settle for happiness when you know it's not at it's full potential.

Go after your dreams,

and never let anyone get in your way.

And when you fall in love,

You will know.

So never settle for someone who can't bring more to your life than you could on your own.

So embrace it.
