Put your heart, mind, and soul

day41: how to succeed ...

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people 

and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics 

and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, 

whether by a healthy child, a garden patch 

or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier 

because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded. 

Bessie Stanley*

simply this ...

love, mom

Dare to Be

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.
When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.
When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.
When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.
When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.
When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.
When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.
When times are tough, dare to be tougher.
When love hurts you, dare to love again.
When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.
When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.
When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.
When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.
When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.
When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

dare to be the best you can –
At all times, dare to be!”

― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
