words to live by

::::

This graced the front of a graduation card.

But it seems a good reminder to us all, non?

After all, we face many a thing in life that’s new, and uncertain, and scary.

Things that take time, and effort, and more than a little patience.

But anything of value requires work.

It requires us to be steadfast – to try again, even after crushing defeat.

For only when we keep moving toward that which holds our heart,

no matter how hope shakes and falters,

will we ever know the thrill of a dream fulfilled.
