FAITH

Faith is exactly what it takes to get through uncertainty. Faith is not necessarily when you know how things are going to work out-thats knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side. Faith is what gives you strength. Faith is that light in your heart that keeps shining even when it's all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep the faith alive!

WE MUST FORGIVE THE PAST AND PEOPLE THAT HURT US AND MOVE ON

We are the ones who suffer when we hold on to past grievances.We give the situations and the people in our past power over us, and the same situations and people keep us mentally enslaved.They continue to control us when we stay stuck in ''unforgiveness''.... This is why forgiveness work is so important. Forgiveness -letting go of the ones who hurt us-is letting go of our identity as the one who was hurt.It allows us to be set free from the needless cycle of pain, anger,and recrimination that keep us imprisoned in our own suffering. What we forgive is not the act, but the actors-we are forgiving their suffering , confusion,unskillfulness,desperation, and their humanity.As we get the feelings out and let them go, we can then move on. Remember that all of the events that take place in our lives and all of the individuals we encounter teach us valuable lessons.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

If there was ever a time to dare,
to make a difference,
to embark on something worth doing,
IT IS NOW.
Not for any grand cause, necessarily. . .
but for something that tugs at your heart,
something that's your inspiration,
something that's your dream.

You owe it to yourself
to make your days here count.
HAVE FUN.
DIG DEEP.
STRETCH.

DREAM BIG.

Know, though, that things worth doing
seldom come easy.
There will be good days.
And there will be bad days.
There will be times when you want to turn around,
pack it up,
and call it quits.
Those times tell you
that you are pushing yourself,
that you are not afraid to learn by trying.

PERSIST.

Because with an idea,
determination,
and the right tools,
you can do great things.
Let your instincts,
your intellect,
and your heart,
guide you.

TRUST.

Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.
Of doing something that makes a difference.
Of working hard.
Of laughing and hoping.
Of lazy afternoons.
Of lasting friends.
Of all the things that will cross your path this year.

The start of something new
brings the hope of something great,
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
