"Dare to Be"

When a new day begins, 
dare to smile gratefully. 

When there is darkness,
dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice,
dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult,
dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down,
dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope,
dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired,
dare to keep going.

When times are tough,
dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you,
dare to love again.

When someone is hurting,
dare to help them heal. 

When someone hurts you,
dare to forgive.

When another is lost,
dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls,
dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another,
dare to make them smile.

When you feel great,
dare to help someone else feel great too.

Dare to be the best you can.
At all times, dare to BE.

~ Steve Maraboli

"Trust, even if your future seems uncertain.
Trust, even if you feel alone and abandoned.
Trust, even if your heart is deeply broken.
Trust, even if you have no idea how your situation could ever improve.

Trust, because your strength comes from trusting that everything always gets better with time, that miracles do occur and that prayers are answered in ways that the mind cannot comprehend.

Trust, because ALLAH has a wonderful plan in works for you that you can't yet see or feel... but you soon will.

Trust, and surrender your heart to ALLAH."
