"Dream bigger, go higher, and remember that it takes grit to embark on the journeys that are rewarding but full of obstacles. Look for that silver-lining in the difficulties, learn from the mistakes, and be a better person so that we can help others in need. The only way that we can become "stronger" is by "lifting" others and don't forget to show gratitude to people and things that shape us who we are."
