An evening dining with two very special friends, both beautiful, savvy, exceptional business women, full of life and laughter, mojo to burn…and right now, one in need of a little extra TLC…

A beloved NZ mate of many years shared this beautiful piece to give me courage during a difficult time, he drew comfort from it during his own, and now I pass it on to her…and to any in need of a little inspirational comfort themselves…

A Creed to Live By
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life for without them life is meaningless.
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.
By living your life one day at a time you live all the days of your life.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope;
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been but also where you are going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
