Dreams
When you find a dream inside your heart
Don't ever let it go.
For dreams are the tiny seeds
From which
tomorrows grow.
I have never let go of my dream.
Everything Happens For A Reason
Sometimes people come into your life
and you know right away
that they
were meant to be there …
to serve some sort of purpose,
teach you a lesson or help figure out who
you are or who you want to become.
You never know who these people may be
but you lock eyes with them,
you
know that very moment that
they will affect your life
in some profound way.
And sometimes things happens to you
at the time that may seem horrible, painful
and unfair, but in reflection you realize that
without overcoming those obstacles you
would never realize your
potential,
strength, will power or heart.
Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance
or by
means of luck.
Illness, love, lost moments of
true greatness and sheer stupidity
all occur to test
limits of your soul.
Without these small tests,
life would be like a smoothly paved,
straight, flat road to nowhere
safe
and comfortable but dull
and utterly pointless.
The people you meet affect your life.
The successes and downfalls
that
you experience can create
whom you are, and the bad
experiences can be learned from.
In fact they
are probably the most
poignant and important ones.
If someone hurts you, betrays you or
breaks
your heart, forgive them because
they have helped you learn
about trust and the importance of being
cautious
to whom you open your heart.
If someone loves you,
love them back unconditionally,
not only because
they love you,
but also because they are teaching you
to love and open your heart and
eyes to little
things.
Make every day count.
Appreciate everything that
you possibly can, for you may never
experience
it again.
Talk to people whom you have never
talked to before, and actually listen.
Let
yourself fall in love,
break free and set your sights high.
Hold your head up
because you have every right to.
Tell yourself you are a great individual
and believe in yourself,
for
if you don't believe in yourself,
no one else will believe in you.
Create your own life and then
go
out and live it.
Share this with anyone whom you believe
has made a difference in your
life!
"If you take your eyes off your goals,
all you see is obstacles."

I Threw It Out
Last Week I threw out Worrying,
it was getting old and in the way.
It kept me from being me;
I
couldn't do things my way.
I threw out those Inhibitions;
they were just crowding me out.
Made room for my New Growth,
got
rid of my old dreams and doubts.
I threw out a book on MY PAST
(didn't have time to read it anyway).
Replaced it with New Goals,
started
reading it today.
I threw out childhood toys
(remember how I treasured them so?)
Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too,
threw
out the one from long ago.
Brought in some new books too,
called I CAN, I WILL, and I MUST.
Threw out I
Might, I Think and I Ought.
WOW, You should've seen the dust!
I ran across an OLD FRIEND,
haven't
seen him in a while.
I believe his name is GOD,
Yes, I really like his style.
He helped me to do some cleaning
and
added some things himself.
Like PRAYER, HOPE and FAITH,
Yes, I placed them right on the shelf.
He picked
up this special thing
and placed it at the front door.
I FOUND IT - it's called PEACE.
Nothing gets me down anymore.
Yes,
I've got my house looking nice.
Looks good around the place.
For things like Worry and Trouble
there just isn't any
place.
It's good to do a little house cleaning,
get rid of the old things on the shelf.
It sure makes
things brighter;
maybe you should
TRY IT YOURSELF.
