As
You Travel Through Life….
(One of the classic inspirational poems)
As you travel through life there are always those times
When decisions just have to be made,
When
the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce,
And the rain seems to soak your parade.
There are some situations where all you can do
Is simply let go and move on,
Gather your
courage and choose a direction
That carries you toward a new dawn.
So pack up your troubles and take a step forward -
The process of change can be tough,
But
think about all the excitement ahead
There might be adventures you never imagined
Just waiting around the next bend,
And wishes
and dreams just about to come true
In ways you can't yet comprehend!
Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new things
As you challenge your status quo,
And
learn there are so many options in life,
Perhaps you'll go places you never expected
And see things that you've never seen,
Or travel
to fabulous, faraway worlds
And wonderful spots in between!
Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring
And somebody special who's there
To
help you stay cantered and listen with interest
To stories and feelings you share.
Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends
Are supportive of all that you do,
And
believe that whatever decisions you make,
They'll be the right choices for you.
So keep putting one foot in front of the other,
And taking your life day by day...
There's
a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road -
Don't look back! You're not going that way!

Be Thankful
(One
of the classic inspirational poems)
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there
be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your
limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it
will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach
you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when
you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A
life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a
positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

Change Your World
You cannot
change the world, but you can present the
world
with one improved person, yourself.
You can
go to work on yourself to make yourself into
the kind
of person you admire and respect.
You can
become a role model and set a standard for others.
You can
control and discipline yourself to resist acting or
speaking
in a negative way toward anyone for any reason.
You can
insist upon always doing things the loving way,
rather
than the harmful way.
By doing
these things each day, you can continue on your
journey
toward becoming an exceptional human being.
~Brian
Tracy
It's not what people eat,
But what they digest
That makes them strong
It is not what they gain
But what they save
That makes them rich
It is not what they read
But what they remember
That makes them learn.
It is by teaching that we teach ourselves,
By relating that we observe
By affirming that we examine
By showing that we look
By writing that we think
By pumping that we draw water into the well.
