PE 1/28 Maria Shriver Speech – Part 4

How this world needs you – young men and women with the guts to pause and acknowledge where you’re at and how you got here – and then to change course if you need to – and trust me, sometimes you’ll need to change course!
* the guts/have the guts: to be brave; be courageous
= the fortitude; the nerve; the backbone
ex> Do you have the guts to ask your boss for a raise?

So today, as you head out into the Open Field of life, keep your mind open, keep your heart open.
* head out: to move on to something new; leave a place
ex> If you've got everything you need, then let’s head out.

Have the courage to go beyond shoulda-coulda-woulda – go beyond other’s rules and expectations.
* shoulda-coulda-woulda: an expression of regret
ex> Shoulda-coulda-woulda won’t get you anywhere; you need to move on.
ex> Julie was unsure of her decisions and always went through the shoulda-coulda-woulda.

Don’t get so caught up along the way in what you’re doing and where you’re going that you lose sight of your core values: who you are and what’s important in your life.
* lose sight of: to forget what is important or what one’s goal is
ex> Whatever you do, don’t lose sight of where you came from.

Look at your options – check your intentions – and THEN? Take the high road.
* take the high road: to choose the option that is most ethical or moral

ex> Even if he insulted you, take the high road and just ignore him.
