{blessings}
Reaching for a Goal
Success is not just the crowning moment, the spiking of the ball in the end zone, or the raising of the flag on the summit. May you be blessed to appreciate the whole process of reaching for a goal.
Freedom…Pass it On
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. May your children be blessed to always be free.
Sorry. Not Sorry.
Sorry. Not sorry. Your choice. May you be blessed to weigh the true advantages of forgiveness against resentment and choose wisely.
Leap of Faith
Your instincts are better than you think they are. Go with your humanity, listen to your hunches, and may you be blessed to take a leap of faith when it feels right.
Reward Within
Nobody moved your cheese. All the reward you need is within. May you be blessed with self-motivation that comes from the love of God. Eat it up! You will never again be hungry for recognition.
