Chapter 13- The Last Line
Our date of death is not the date etched on our tombstone. The day we stop dreaming is the day we start dying.
— Mark Batterson
All of us need to surround ourselves with excellent individuals who will help us grow and hold us accountable to be the next best version of ourselves.
As parents, you must show your children these concepts of hard work, communication, and love for others.
Each day is a gift, given to us so we can give to others.
To make a difference, we have to be agents of change. We can’t complain or point fingers. We must take action!
Love is the only way to show the heart of Christ and the essence of who God is.
Our mission in life is to impact people with such conviction of love that they couldn’t imagine being separated from it.
With our words and actions, we can build people up to be their best or tear them down with discouragement and negativity. We have a choice.
Be the person everyone deserves in their lives.
Action Steps:
● Don't judge a book by its cover.
● Tell the truth to our young adults, but teach them how to be successful with the gifts that they have.
● Be a Michelle to everyone in your life.
● Be an agent of change by action for your family, community, and country.
● Teach people to live life, with a full commitment and love for them.
● Share your gifts with others.
● Be a beacon of hope and light to others, and live a legacy of service.
