Family Support
Your friends and family must be very proud of your achievements? Are they entirely supportive of your goals?
My family, especially my Mum and Dad, have been wonderful. They are always ready to support me, whether its financial assistance or emotional support that I need. There were many people who were wary of me going to Mozambique last year, and then to South Africa and Kenya this year, but my parents continue to defend and support my decisions. I know all this has been hard on them at times too, especially watching as my life fell apart after I got back from Mozambique. But they support everything I do, even when the thought of me travelling alone scares them.
Helen Keller once said: Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
And in the words of Dr. James S. Vuocolo: Some folks go through life pleased that the glass is half full. Others spend a lifetime lamenting that it’s half-empty. The truth is: There is a glass with a certain volume of liquid in it. From there, it’s up to you!
And finally, from Josh Hines: Whether or not we realize it each of us has within us the ability to set some kind of example for people. Knowing this would you rather be the one known for being the one who encouraged others, or the one who inadvertently discouraged those around you?
