Achieve the Impossible


Come out of your comfort zones and reach for your dreams, your goals, your aspirations. Nothing can be achieved without intention. If you want to achieve it, you need to go for it. You need to get it. Don't be afraid...

Dare to Dream


Some people only look at life through eyes that seldom gleam 
while others look beyond today as they're guided by a dream 
And the dreamers can't be sidetracked by dissenters who may laugh 
for only they alone can know how special is their path 
But dreams aren't captured easily; 
there's much work before you're through 
but the time and efforts are all worthwhile 
when the impossible comes true 
And dreams have strength in numbers 
for when a common goal is shared 
the once impossible comes true because of all who cared 
And once it's seen as reality a dream has just begun 
for magically from dreams come dreams 
And a walk becomes a run 
But with growth of course comes obstacles 
and with obstacles come fear 
but the dream that is worth dreaming 
finds its way to the dear 
And the dream continues growing 
Reaching heights before unseen 
And it's all because of the courage of the dreamers 
and their dream.

If you can..



If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

A Creed to Live By




Don’t undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others,

It is because we are different that each
of us is special.

Don’t set your goals by what other people
deem important,

Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t take for granted the things closest
to your heart

Cling to that as you would your life, for without
them life is meaningless.

Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living
in the past or the future.

By living your life one day at a time, you live all the
days of your life.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give
Nothing is really over until the moment
you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less
than perfect,

It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks,
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s
impossible to find.

The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tightly,
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t dismiss your Dreams. To be without
dreams is to be without hope.

To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget
where you’ve been,

But also know where you’re going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored
every step of the way.
