“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.” -John McCain
“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” -Jawaharlal Nehru
“People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.” -Dalai Lama
“To find what you seek in the road of life, the best proverb of all is that which says: Leave no stone unturned.” -Edward Bulwer Lytton
May this be the year in which we allow ourselves to grow
Mentally,
Spiritually,
Emotionally.
May this be the year in which we allow ourselves to learn
As much as we possibly can.
May this be the year in which we allow ourselves to love
And be loved.
May this be the year in which we learn to forgive
Others,
And ourselves.
May this be the year in which we seek new adventures
By putting ourselves out there more often.
May this be the year in which we follow our dreams
And reach for the stars.
May this be the year in which we learn to surpass rejection
And continue on our path to greatness.
May this be the year in which we share special moments with loved ones
And cherish such memories for years to come.
May this be the year in which we learn to persist
Bravely,
Valiantly,
And courageously.
May this be the year in which we learn to share our voices and listen to those who have yet to be heard
By advocating,
Caring,
And helping our fellow human beings.
May this be the year in which we devote ourselves to a worthwhile cause
And help those in need.
May this be the year in which we never forget to be thankful and appreciative
Each and every day.
May this be the year in which we shine, and encourage others to do the same
Brighter than ever before.
Happy New Year, and may it be blessed!
The concept for this week’s Snapshot Challenge is simple: Make time to go outside and enjoy your surroundings. There is beauty to be found everywhere, but if we don’t make time to seek it out, such moments will merely continue to pass us by.
