Encouragement, Inspiration and More…

Yes you can!

Encouragement Always.

People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering. 

Encouragement Always.

Just because it looks impossible, that does not mean it is impossible…

I love the Olympics because it is a powerful testament to what we can do when we make up our minds to do something.  Watch and rejoice.

If peace is dependent on having more stuff, then peace is never possible.

Fear does not have any special power unless you empower it by submitting to it.

I have a friend who really wants to be a lawyer.  For the past 10 years she has pursued her dream but has yet to be accepted into law school.

Yesterday she called and asked me this question: “What if I just showed up on the first day of class as if I had been accepted?”  I told her I thought that was a great idea.  I said, “if you want to go to law school this fall, then go to law school and see what happens.” 

The worse thing that can happen is that they tell her “no.”  I have no doubt she can handle being told “no” because they have already told her that many times before.

What is it that you dream of doing?  If you want to be a singer, start singing.  If you want to be a dancer, start dancing.   Whatever it is that you dream of doing, start doing it and keep doing it until your dream comes true.

Encouragement Always.  

1.  Never give up.

2.  Never back down.

3.  Never lose faith.

Encouragement Always.

Only as you do know yourself can your brain serve you as a sharp and efficient tool.  Know your own failings, passions, and prejudices so you can separate them from what you see.

I went camping this weekend.  We had a great time.  The best part was waking up in the morning and looking straight up at the trees.  Have you ever took time to really look at a tree?  One morning I woke up about 6 am and spent an hour gazing at the trees that surrounded our tent.  Trees, like many things in nature, are truly marvelous things to behold!  If you don’t think a tree is a miracle, try making one of your own.

Encouragement Always.
