Earlier this week, as I was listen-ing to the neighborhood children outside
playing, I hear these old familiar words… "Go ahead and just do it, I Dare you!"
It brings back the memories of when I was growing up with my brother and sister. Those words were part of the daily conversation which also ended up being the fa-mous last words of my own chil-dren prior to them getting into trouble of some kind. In raising our children we try to teach them about life and its amazing that they end up teaching us what life is actually all about and how it should and could be. I was imme-diately reminded about this:
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 be.
At all times, Dare to be!
