It's YOUR time - it's YOUR life -
YOU get to choose how you use it. T

Your boss, your spouse, your church, your friends,
and even the family next door have their ideas
of how you should live your life.

What do YOU want?
YES, it matters what you want.
YES you can have what you want.

I honor you, Hero, for you do not play to the crowd.
You play to your own soul.
An audience of one fills the house with its appreciation and applause.
Others follow you, and may attempt to emulate you,
but that is not why you are a hero.
Fame may smile upon you, or it may not.
The world may cheer your name, or you may be the unknown warrior
who rescued comrades in battle,
or taught a young girl how to shed tears of joy.
Whatever you did, you did not do for fame.
If you had, you would not be a Hero.
You are a Hero for your bold courageous inspired action.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
