Be courageous and take the opportunity to stretch yourself far, very far – learning is messy, painful, and one of the big rewards in life.  Stay grounded – learn what is really important to you… beware of social pressures, always simplify life, listen to your voice from within.  Be confident – face the world with optimism.  Everyone has been dealt a hand of cards, everyone is struggling too, so play yours according to your instincts and don’t compare yourself with others but rather how you have improved since yesteryear.  Dig in – make work and responsibility a gift, it is mind over it all.  Self mastery is a learned skill – Those who win in life have it.  owners of responsibility change the world.  Be humble – never forget who you are, reflect on yourself.  You cannot be all that you can be without serving others and society.  Forgive and apologize – live in the present and future, learn to travel light and let things go.  Be a blessing to those around you, create goodness and spread it.

Just do it – take the big challenges no one else wants even if you don’t know it well.  Work hard, get dirty, screw up responsibly, learn from your mistakes, and it will all come in handy in the future.  Stretch yourself – the biggest rewards in life come from who you have become and what you are able to do.  Become who you are meant to be.  Be human – try, fail, try again, and try again, and try try again, never ever give up, be responsible and in charge of your own life…. it is yours to live well.

….be well and live well my friends.
