21. Be Good to Yourself

Be good to yourself,
To your own self be true,
This sentiment was a gift to me,
Before I shared it with you.

It won’t always be easy,
It won’t be as hard as it seems,
For being good to yourself,
Will carry you much closer to your dreams.

Being good to yourself is always,
A very good place to start,
Your dreams will never fail you,
If you listen to your heart.

Please remember that you’re special,
If you should stumble along the way,
You always deserve the very best,
So be good to yourself everyday.
