“Life is not about the quantity of friends you have. It is about the quality of friends you have.”✨

A FRIENDLY REMINDER: 😊
Every person has their own version of the story. What we hear from someone is not necessarily the whole truth. If we make a decision or judgment based on a one-sided story, it is always biased. The first person who opens up their heart often becomes authentic in our eyes. We develop more empathy for them. While others may be true but like to keep it themselves, we never get to know their side of the story.
Listen to each person, but if you have to give an opinion, ensure that you know the entire story, the entire truth. If a part of the story is missing, it’s better to remain quiet.
You'll never know what people are going through so before you start judging, criticizing, or mocking, just listen well.🫶🏻

Now this trip back to France was something I never thought possible. I thought going back for the 75th Anniversary of D-Day was the last of my returns over seas. And boy, I was wrong! I can’t thank enough for organizing this trip for me and my fellow veterans. We were treated like royalty and had an itinerary packed with events. This is a trip this old man will never forget! ❤️

“Success is not how high you have climbed, but how you make a positive difference to the world.”

09/16/2023

If people are doubting how far you can go, go so far that you can't hear them anymore.

09/15/2023

"When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go."

09/15/2023

“It is only when we take chances, when our lives improve. The initial and the most difficult risk that we need to take is to become honest.

09/14/2023

It is never too late to be what you might have been.”

“Opportunities don't happen, you create them.”

“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, Love like you’ll never be hurt, Sing like there’s nobody listening, And live like it’s heaven on earth.” – William W. Purkey
