esson my grandma taught me was to always go for my dreams and never, ever give up. She once told me: “Shoot for the moon, because even if you fall, you’ll land among the stars.”
I have never heard anything more true in all my life. I have tried to live by these words, and have figured out that it is very important to go for your dreams and never let anything get in your way. Even if you have had a bad experience in the past, never limit your view of life by that experience. I believe that life is constantly testing our level of commitment, and I am convinced life’s greatest rewards are reserved for those who show a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of determination can accomplish amazing things, but it must be continual and consistent. As simple as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those that live in regret.
Another great lesson my grandma taught me was: “Never let anyone come to you without coming away better and happier.” Everyone should see goodness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile. Too often we underestimate the power of such things: a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or even the smallest act of caring. All have the potential to turn a life around. We should welcome everyone as we would welcome Christ Himself, because He is a part of each and every one of US.
