The Morning Ascent

Do not give in to the tough times if you are experiencing them right now. Do not give up on your dreams or the possibility that your situation can change in an instant. Determine for yourself...Ain't no mountain high enough, and ain't no valley low enough...to keep you away from your dream of a better future.

Kindle the fire of hope and blow on the flames of possibility. You are bigger than any fear and stronger than any doubt about your future. Hold on...keep looking up. It's not over until you win!!

Decide to make your life a living adventure. Is your life what you want it to be? Let's look at the greatest adventure you could ever possibly imagine.

Stop for a moment and think about what it means to be alive. By virtue of being alive, you can sense, you can reason, move from place to place, make decisions. You can create, you can inspire, you can know joy, laughter and beauty. When you think about it, every moment of every day is an incredible adventure, overflowing with possibilities. Yet too often, we just take life for granted, letting it pass by in boredom and frustration. What a waste.

There is a priceless, magnificent adventure waiting for you right now. It is your life. Take a look around you. There are countless places to be explored, people to meet, things to be learned and challenges that will give you strength and fulfillment. There is so much to be lived and experienced. You could spend a thousand lifetimes doing it all.

So, resolve right now to fill your one lifetime with as much living as possible. Take delight in the adventure.
