"Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."
-Marcel Proust
"Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayers. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good."
-Maya Angelou
We'll keep today simple. In order to reach our dreams, we have to reach out to others, we need help. When we receive this help, because mostly likely we will, be thankful and do not let it pass by. Above all, thank those who help you take that next step. Sometimes all we need is that last little push, and most of the time our pride will not allow us to reach out and ask for the help we need. We are put here with others for a reason. We are not here to do it all alone. Your challenge today: take a few minutes to thank those who have made a difference in your life, those who have helped you to take that one step closer to your dream.
For me: Mom and Dad, I first want to thank you. I would not be the man I am today if it wasn't for you. You have given me opportunities that most can only dream for: you put a roof above my head, clothes on my body, food, and education. That right there is remarkable in itself, but you have gone way above and beyond that. For this, I thank you.
To all my brothers, friends, family, co-workers, and especially my girlfriend: Thank you all so much for the support you have given me throughout the years. You have all played such an important role in my life, and I wish I could thank you all on an individual level. To all those who have pushed me to drive for my dreams, no matter how crazy they are, thank you all.
