“I believe in intelligence. I believe in the
ever-expansion of your mind through books, travel, and new experiences. I
believe in having conversations with people who have a different point of view
than yours and in staying current on world events. Of challenging yourself to
set higher expectations and to dream bigger dreams. And I believe in health. In
eating healthy, nourishing your body, and being good to your soul. I believe in
exercising to add longevity to your life, to add strength to your mental and
physical abilities, and to foster self-discipline. I believe in pull-ups,
cardio, and strength-training. I believe in getting adequate amounts of sleep
so that you are energized throughout the day. I believe in confidence and
beauty in the form of a smile to a stranger, of a hand that reaches out to help
without question or reservation. Kindness towards others, determination to
succeed, and the courage to forgive; that is beauty. Our internal integrity,
our ability to respond with grace, the gifting of our time, and the mark we
leave on the world — that is the beauty that should define us.
I
believe in beauty that is real.”
