Give Your Best ~ Poem by Madeline S. Bridges

Give Your Best

There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and true;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best shall come back to you.

Give love, and love to your heart will flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith, and a score of hearts will show

Their faith in your word and deed.

For life is the mirror of king and slave,
‘Tis just what you are and do;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best will come back to you.

Madeline S. Bridges.

Something to Think About

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.”

—Bob Marley

I’m happy I didn’t see the tough times coming. When life was going well, I thought this is the way it’s supposed to be. Suddently, without warning, a storm hits, and I had no choice but to face the storm, do my best, and endure until the storm spent itself.

My guess is that you can resonate with my experience. Each of us, at different times in our lives, are buffetted by storms with gale winds. Eventually, the storm passes. When we look back over the distance we’ve traveled, we understand Bob Marley’s words,   “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.”

What was the storm you faced? How did it make you stronger? How did it give you confidence you could handle whatever life throws at you?

Stay Strong. Never Quit. Never Give Up.

 

Today’s Quote by Paulo Coelho

In order for us to liberate the energy of our strength, our weakness must first have a chance to reveal itself.

Paulo Coelho
