Parting Wisdom

Graduation season is upon us once again and after two years of restrictive living, it appears as if we can now live and celebrate more. I happen to know quite a few graduates this year. I am excited to see them switch their tassels and begin a new life in pursuit of their dreams. Some have decided to enter university in the Fall. Some have decided to take a gap year to figure out their next phase in life and others have decided to enter the workforce. Whatever the decision, there is so much hope and possibility for the future. What I admire most about people of this generation is that they are becoming equipped with far more tools to be successful than other generations were offered through time and technology. I know many today believe that to be a gift and a curse, but it simply requires intentional action. If I could impart any elder's wisdom, there are three things I would shout from the mountain tops.

1 - It is crucial to be grounded in Christ. It is through Him we receive special guidance and blessings for our lives. If we get off track, we should always earnestly seek Him.

2 - In all you do, always put your best foot forward.

3 - Surround yourself with those who keep you motivated and spark positivity.

Congratulations Class of 2022! Don't stop believing, reaching, and achieving!
