2. Do not worry needlessly about mistakes. – You are not unworthy or incapable just because you made some mistakes. Remember that mistakes are necessary for growth.

5. Do not surrender. – You must try to climb that hill even when it seems too steep. No matter how difficult the task seems, it is better to try than to wonder if you could have succeeded.
6. Do grow. – Never think that you have to stay where you are in life. Every new day offers an opportunity for change.
7. Do not judge others harshly. – Try to accept other people for who they are. Just because someone is different from you does not mean they are inferior. Everyone was created in God’s image.
