Dreams Come True If You Pursue Them
Dreams Come True If You Pursue Them
Reality forms around your commitments.
The achievement of your goal is assured
the moment you commit yourself to it.
Obstacles don’t matter very much.
Pain or other circumstances can be there,
but if you want something bad enough,
you’ll find a way to get it.
Plant the seed of desire in your mind
and it will form a nucleus with the power to attract to itself
everything needed for its fulfillment.
You’re never given a wish
without also being given the power to make it come true.

Get Up and Try Again….
GET UP AND TRY AGAIN
A broken-will, a dream most shattered, is this to be your end?
Head down, furrowed brow and so despaired, GET UP and try again!
A spirit once with wings of passion, thoughts of what could have been
It CAN be done, no could about it, PRESS ON, HANG TOUGH my friend.
You’ve failed that’s true, WHO HASN’T?, I can’t count the times I have…
But are they stumbling blocks or stepping stones?, YOU must choose the path.
We all have shared rough goings, and YOU are not alone
Pity party? Cry of your past? Best start stepping on STEPPING STONES!
This should be a kinder poem, coated with sugar and cane.
Tell me what I want to hear, prove you share my pain!
I cannot think of a kinder thing, than these words a friend did in finding
“Quit the crying, stop the whining, and START the grittin’ and grindin’!”
A will most mended, a dream come true, when we CHOOSE to hear this friend…
PRESS ON, HANG TOUGH as so few feel sorry, GET UP and TRY AGAIN!

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 hurtful way.
By doing these things each day, you can continue on your
journey toward becoming an exceptional human being.
By Brian Tracy
I Bargained…
”I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.”

SPREAD YOUR WINGS
Spread Your Wings 
Close your eyes, open your heart
concentrate hard, get ready to start.
It is almost time to lift off and fly.
Believe in yourself and you’ll fly very high.
Open your wings, spread them out
This is what flying is all about.
I know you can make it through this test.
Come on now. Do your best.
Now that you can fly and soar,
you can enter that successful door.
You’ve spread your wings and lifted your voice.
It’s now time for others to make the right choice.

RESULTS & ROSES
Results and Roses
The man who wants a garden fair,
Or small or very big,
With flowers growing here and there,
Must bend his back and dig.
The things are mighty few on earth
That wishes can attain.
Whate’er we want of any worth
We’ve got to work to gain.
It matters not what goal you seek
Its secret here reposes:
You’ve got to dig from week to week
To get Results or Roses.

Open Your Own Doors To Opportunity
Open Your Own Doors To Opportunity
Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity.
Distant pastures always look greener than those close at hand,
but opportunity lies right where you are.
You must simply take advantage of them when they appear.
You can start where you are at any time.
Success is all around you.
It’s not in your environment,
it’s not in luck or chance,
or in the help of others.
Success is in yourself alone.
You don’t need more strength
or more ability or greater o’pportunity.
What you need is to use what you have.
Learn to seize good fortune,
for it is always around you.
You must go to success,
it doesn’t come to you.

THE GUY IN THE GLASS
THE GUY IN THE GLASS
When you get what you want in the struggle for help
And the world makes you king for a day,
Then you go to the mirror and look at your self
And see what the guy has to say,
For it’s your Father or Mother or Wife
Who’s judgement upon you must pass;
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass,
He’s the fellow to please…Never mind all the rest-
for he’s with you clear to the end,
And you’ve passed your most dangerous and difficult
test
If the guy in the glass is your friend,
You may like Jack Horner and chisel a plum,
And think you’re a wonderful guy,
But the guy in the glass says your only a bum
If you can’t look him straight in the eye.
You may fool the whole world down the path of years
And get pats on the back as you pass;
But the final reward will be headaches and tears
If you’ve cheated the Guy in the Glass.

A Touching Story-”The Old Phone”
When I was quite young, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember the polished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver hung on the side of the box. I was too little to reach the telephone, but used to listen with fascination when my mother talked to it.
………Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person. Her name was ‘Information Please’ and there was nothing she did not know. Information Please could supply anyone’s number and the correct time…………My personal experience with the genie-in-a-bottle came one day while my Mother was visiting a neighbor. Amusing myself at the tool bench in the basement, I whacked my finger with a hammer, the pain was terrible, but there seemed no point in crying because there was no one home to give sympathy……………I walked around the house sucking my throbbing finger, finally arriving at the stairway. The telephone! Quickly, I ran for the footstool in the Parlor and dragged it to the landing climbing up; I unhooked the receiver in the parlor and held it to my ear………..‘Information, please,’ I said into the mouthpiece just above my head. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear………….
‘Information.’……..‘I hurt my finger,’ I wailed into the phone, the tears came readily enough now that I had an audience. ‘Isn’t your mother home?’ came the question. ‘Nobody’s home but me,’ I blubbered. ‘Are you bleeding?’ the voice asked. ‘No,’ I replied. ‘I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.’ ‘Can you open the icebox?’ she asked. I said I could……‘Then chip off a little bit of ice and hold it to your finger,’ said the voice.
After that, I called ‘Information Please’ for everything. I asked her for help with my geography, and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math. She told me my pet chipmunk that I had caught in the park just the day before, would eat fruit and nuts………….Then, there was the time Petey, our pet canary, died. I called, ‘Information Please,’ and told her the sad story. She listened, and then said things grown-ups say to soothe a child. But I was not consoled. I asked her, ‘Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully and bring Joy to all families, only to end up as a heap of feathers on the bottom of a cage?’……………….She must have sensed my deep concern, for she said quietly, ‘ Wayne, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in.’…..Somehow I felt better…..Another day I was on the telephone, ‘Information Please.’………….‘Information,’ said in that so familiar voice…….‘How do I spell fix?’ I asked.
All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. When I was nine years old, we moved across the country to Boston. I missed my friend very much. ‘Information Please’ belonged in that old wooden box back home and I somehow never thought of trying the shiny new phone that sat on the table in the hall. As I grew into my teens, the memories of those childhood conversations never really left me…………Often, in moments of doubt and perplexity I would recall the serene sense of security I had then. I appreciated now how patient, understanding, and kind she was to have spent her time on a little boy.
A few years later, on my way west to college, my plane put down in Seattle I had about a half-hour or so between planes. I spent 15 minutes or so on the phone with my sister, who lived there now. Then without thinking what I was doing, I dialed my hometown Operator and said, ‘Information Please.’……….Miraculously, I heard the small, clear voice I knew so well. ‘Information.’……..I hadn’t planned this, but I heard myself saying, ‘Could you please tell me how to spell fix?’…….There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken answer, ‘I guess your finger must have healed by now.’………….I laughed, ‘So it’s really you,’ I said. ‘I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to me during that time?’…………‘I wonder,’ she said, ‘if you know how much your call meant to me. I never had any children and I used to look forward to your calls.’………………I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and I asked if I could call her again when I came back to visit my sister………….‘Please do,’ she said. ‘Just ask for Sally.’
Three months later I was back in Seattle a different voice answered: Information.’ I asked for Sally………‘Are you a friend?’ she said………..‘Yes, a very old friend,’ I answered……‘I’m sorry to have to tell you this,’ she said. ‘Sally had been working part-time the last few years because she was sick. She died five weeks ago.’………Before I could hang up she said, ‘Wait a minute, did you say your name was Wayne?’
‘Yes.’ I answered……………‘Well, Sally left a message for you. She wrote it down in case you called. Let me read it to you.’ The note said, ‘Tell him there are other worlds to sing in. He’ll know what I mean.’………………I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant.
Never underestimate the impression you may make on others………..Whose life have you touched today?…………Why not pass this on? I just did….Lifting you on eagle’s wings. May you find the joy and peace you long for…………..Life is a journey … NOT a guided tour. So don’t miss the ride and have a great time going around. You don’t get a second shot at it.
I loved this story and just had to pass it on. I hope you enjoy it and get a blessing from it just as I did.
So…….. go on that vacation you have always dreamed about…………then go to the luggage store and purchase that special travelware you have always wanted …………but mostly…………ENJOY LIFE!
