OVERCOMING
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. #<Author:0x00005560ad94b0c0>
LIVE YOUR DREAMS
Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. #<Author:0x00005560ad9311e8>
GRATITUDE
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. #<Author:0x00005560ad913698>

GRIT
I have never been a millionaire. But I have enjoyed a great meal, a crackling fire, a glorious sunset, a walk with a friend, a hug from a child, a cup of soup, a kiss behind the ear. There are plenty of life’s tiny delights for all of us. #<Author:0x00005560ad9bb078>
APPRECIATION

COMMITMENT
Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable, than loyalty. #<Author:0x00005560ad9c8368>

CHARACTER
Do not count the days; make the days count. #<Author:0x00005560ada02f90>
LIVE LIFE

SPREAD YOUR WINGS
