Efforts and Courage

June 21, 2010
" Find ways and moments that give meaning and purpose to your existence and be moved, drawn, and inspired by them. Keep love, hope, and faith in your heart and always allow God's will to be upon you. You only live once; maximize it up to your full potential. It doesn't matter if you hit it big or how far you have gone... but the thought that you did your best is good enough. When you were able to change others lives and make a difference, wow, that will be awesome, a huge bonus. Smile always. Keep the love and share the love of your heart, where God resides."
