“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

In a nutshell, the nicest thing I have done is to BE THERE FOR MY FRIENDS, TO PUT MYSELF IN THEIR SHOES, KNOW HOW THEY FEEL, SHARE THEIR JOY, SHARE THEIR SORROW, JUST BE THERE FOR THEM IN GOOD TIMES AND BAD.

I would not be able to do this unless I have confidence in myself.  ‘Dare to be’…. keep going, no turning back, live life, count your blessings, pray for strength to live each day in good times and bad.
