Dare to Be<\/span><\/p>\n

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.<\/p>\n

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.<\/p>\n

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.<\/p>\n

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.<\/p>\n

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.<\/p>\n

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re feeling tired, dare to keep going.<\/p>\n

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.<\/p>\n

When love hurts you, dare to love again.<\/p>\n

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.<\/p>\n

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.<\/p>\n

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.<\/p>\n

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.<\/p>\n

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.<\/p>\n

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you\u2019ve done your best.<\/p>\n

Dare to be the best you can \u2013<\/p>\n

At all times, Dare to be!”
\n\u2014 Steve Maraboli<\/p>\n

Love all the reminders in that poem! I want to be that person who always dares to be! It\u2019s so easy to become passive in life where we are so busy we just \u201cget through\u201d rather than Daring To Be. But doesn\u2019t it sound so much more exciting to be the person who Dares To Be?!!<\/p>\n

New Goal \u2013 DARE TO BE!<\/p>\n
