A letter from Grandpa

Dear Ronny,

Years ago you came to me for help. You said, “Grandpa, how is it that you’ve accomplished so much in your life? You’re still full of    1    and I’m already tired of struggling. How can I get that same    2    that you’ve got?”

I didn’t know what to say to you then. But knowing my days are   3   , I figure that I    4    you an answer. So here is what I believe.

I think a lot of it has to do with how a person    5    things. I call it “keeping your eyes wide open”.

First, realize that life is filled with    6   , but many are good ones. If you don’t keep watching for them, you’ll miss half the excitement. Expect to be thrilled once in a while, and you will be.

When you meet up with challenges,    7    them. They’ll leave you wiser,    8   , and more capable than you were the day before. When you make a mistake, be    9    for the things it taught you. Resolve (¾öÐÄ) to use that lesson to help you reach your goals.

And always follow the rules. Even the little ones. When you follow the rules, life works. If you think you ever really get by with   10    the rules, you’re only fooling yourself.

Sometimes we have to be    11    enough to move from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Life isn’t just reaching    12   . Part of it is moving from one peak to the next. If you rest too long in between, you might be tempted to    13   . Leave the past in the past. Climb the next mountain and enjoy the view.

Dump things that weigh you down    14    and spiritually. When an old resentment (Ô¹ºÞ), belief, or attitude becomes heavy,    15    your load. Get rid of those hurtful    16    that slow you down and drain (ÏûºÄ) your energy.

Remember that your choices will create your    17    and your failures. So consider all the pathways    18   and decide which one to follow. Then believe in yourself, get up, and get going.

Most important of all,    19    give up on yourself. The person hat ends up a winter is the one who resolves to win. Give life everything you’ve got, and life will    20   it’s best to you.

Love always,

Grandpa
