You Only Fail When…

You only fail when you stop trying,
When you give up, when you stop learning,
When you stop asking the right questions,
When you beat yourself up, 
When you give in to procrastination.

You only fail when you don't even try,
When you try to control everything,
When you don't accept yourself,
When you are not comfortable with yourself.

You only fail when you give in to negative thoughts,
When you don't find a way to be yourself,
When you do not focus on expressing yourself,
When you don't love the person you see in the mirror
Every morning, every day. 

When you fail, focus on yourself.
Because you need you, the real you, 
To move your life forward. 

Self-Respect Can Make You Feel Better About Yourself

When we feel better about
Ourselves, we generate real results.
We love ourselves. We appreciate ourselves.
We love our lives. And we love what we do.

When you feel better about 
Yourself, you generate real results.
You love yourself even more.
You appreciate your life.

When you feel better about
Yourself, where other people
See problems, you see solutions.

When you feel better about
Yourself, where other people
See obstacles, you see opportunities.
When you feel better about 
Yourself, where other people 
See hate, you see love. 

When you feel better about 
Yourself, you do not compare
Yourself to other people. 
You focus on making yourself better.
You love yourself. You respect yourself.
Because self-respect can change your life.

When you respect yourself,
No one can disrespect you.
