When 1 was a boy we used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it.When winter arrived,thick,heavy snow would fall,and my two brothers would grab their sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun.I remember watching them with envy because 1 was still too small to go sledding.Finally,one winter 1 was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it.
The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers and had the time of my life.It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled.Near the end of the day 1 was overjoyed too when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself.I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach.Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside.1 was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course,straight towards one of those big oak trees.My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming.At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree.I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling,“You have to steer(操控)!You have to steer!”
Sadly,that wasn’t the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life.Many times problems,troubles,and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger, frustration, and despair.I am still learning that life isn’t always safe sledding.I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness, back to goodness, and back to God.
Life is a trip,but no one ever said it was a smooth ride.Steer well then.Steer straight.Steer your soul towards the light and the love we are all meant for.

How to become the best version of yourself?
When we step outside, we'd prefer it if we were presenting the best version of ourselves to people. 1. If you are looking to get more out of your life, here are a few things you need to do in order to become the best.
Stop being negative.
2. If you tell yourself that you can't do something, your brain is going to immediately give up. If, however, you tell yourself that you can totally do this, your brain will wake up and rise to the challenge. 3. Instead of saying: "I can't"— say: "I can!" Don't worry about what others might think, Tell yourself that you're going to win today.
4.
Even though none of us are perfect, some of us are still very good at presenting the best version of ourselves. How? By being okay with our shortcomings. Shortcomings are what make us human. Instead of trying to hide them, celebrate them.
Focus on your values.
Your values are important. Our values guide our thought, action and decision. A person who knows his values agree with everything he does. He is sure of himself. Write down your core values. This will give some way to ensuring that you are the best. 5.
