“As new opportunities come into your life, consider them with an open heart, and take the leap of faith. Faith is the fingers with which the clay of our lives is shaped and defined. Life has been given to us to be ventured, to be learned from, and to be the paint that brings colour to every surface of what makes us unique. Every crack and every imperfection of this clay is made up of our adventures in life - the times we did something we were afraid of failing in, the times we cried over something that later came to mean nothing more to us than a lesson, or the times we remained patient when we would have otherwise lost control. Do not be afraid of embracing the past as being a part of what shapes you into who you are today, but never let it define, direct, or dictate what new colours and impressions you will paint your life with tomorrow.”
