Don't

We were constantly told as children what to do and what not to do. Our obedience to those things good came from being reminded these were the behaviors we should engage in. In our society today we hear more about negative than positive behaviors than we want to and as we get older the word "Don't" isn't something we desire in our vocabulary. However, there are some positive "Don'ts" that we vitally need for a successful life to be manifested.

-Don't ever be reluctant to show your feelings. When you're happy, give in to them; when you're not happy, live with it and don't make others miserable.

-Don't ever be afraid to try to make things better. You might be surprised at the results your efforts obtain.

-Don't ever try to take the weight of the world on your shoulders. It's too heavy for any one human being alone to bear.


-Don't ever feel threatened by the future, but take life one day at a time. Take time to enjoy your journey along the way.

-Don't ever feel guilty about your past, because what's done is done and you can't undo it. Learn from the mistakes you might have made and try not to make them again.

-Don't ever feel that you are alone, because you're not. Jesus is always there for you to reach up to, and He can reach much farther down than you can reach up.

-Don't ever forget that you can achieve most of the things you can imagine. It's not as hard as it seems, unless you stop trying.

-Don't ever stop loving and believing in yourself. If you stop dreaming your dreams no one will dream them for you.


These items are only written to stir up a victorious mind set. You are the only one that can control what you think, say, and do. Everything ahead of you depends on it so don't give up!
