Don't let what others THINK of you hold you back from being all that you can be. It isn't what others THINK that counts, it's what YOU KNOW that makes the difference.

It's easier to focus on what's gone wrong, Than it is to see what's gone right. But in every life there's accomplishments, Like wisdom, gained goals and touched lives. Celebrate all the things that you've done, And all the things you plan to do. Remember that from an acorn seed, The mighty Oak tree grew. Celebrate all that you have become, And all that someday you'll be. The future can hold something wonderful, If you just have the courage to see. Every dream has the power, To make something great unfold. All you need is a little faith, To have courage and help you be bold. Believe in yourself and the things you can do. Believe in your talent and skill. Believe in what God has given to you. Believe that you can and you will.
