COURAGE IN FACING LIFE Do not think you are defeated because this time you have failed Do recognise that tomorrow is another day. Next time you may do better. Do not think failure means you are not good enough. Do recognise that the important thing is to learn from it. Do not think that because you want something, or want to do some thing, it automatically becomes possible. Do recognise the vital importance of being practical and sensible about yourself and your ambitions Do not think that a big success counts all that much. Keep a sense of proportion about yourself and what you do so that you are neither unduly depressed nor to happy what others say. Do not think other people are more capable than you are. Do recognise your possibilities. Make a list of your good points believe in yourself. Do recognise that a great source of courage, as well as comfort in trouble is to be sympathetic about other people. It makes you determined to fight on for their sake. Do not think other people should encourage you, support you, come to your aid. Do recognise hoe your courage can be undermined when you are relying on others. Try to rely on yourself. Never believe that a shattering experience like a bereavement or crippling disability is the end of the road. Do recognise that you owe it to yourself and to others to be brave enough to try to build a new life. Do remember that nobody who loved you would want you to lose hope. _ “Psychologist Magazine”
