Good Morning Dear Friend,

I came across this message and I just had to share it with you.   I never thought of myself as a risk taker, however, I think I am.  I know that I want an extraordinary life...whatever that entails and I ask everyday to be chosen as His messenger.  I guess it is risky because I am "asking for it."    And I seem to be chosen  to exit my comfort zone quite often!    So here is the message, sent to me via an ordinary person that contains some extraordinary challenges.   What do you think?.........


"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



And so, my wish for you today, is Courage.  Look at your challenges that present themselves to you and "Dare to Be."


En` Joy,
