CLIMB  THE  MOUNTAIN




I will live each day with courage and a belief in myself and others.

I will live by the values of integrity, freedom of choice, and a love of all God’s people.

I will strive to keep commitments not only to others but to myself as well.

I will remember that to truly live, I must climb the mountain today, for tomorrow may be too late.

I know that my mountain may seem no more than a hill to others and I will accept that.

I will be renewed by my own personal victories and triumphs no matter how small.

I will continue to make my own choices and to live with them as I have always done.

I will not make excuses or blame others.

I will, for as long as possible, keep my mind and body healthy and strong 
so that I am able to make the choice to climb the mountain.

I will help others as best I can and I will thank those who help me along the way.

Finally, I will frequently remind myself that, without risk, there is neither success nor failure. 
 As Thomas Aquinas observed: If the primary mission of a captain were to preserve his ship, 
he would never leave port!







Remember:   "If you want your place in the sun,…you gotta expect some blisters!”



Make your day great!!
