I came across this poem the other day and thought wow! I wanted to share it with you and some of my thoughts.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND IN YOUR DREAM THOUGH IMPOSSIBLE THINGS MAY SEEM. SOMDAY, SOMEHOW YOU'LL GET THROUGH TO THE GOAL YOU HAVE IN VIEW. MOUNTAINS FALL AND SEAS DIVIDE BEFORE THE ONE WHO IN HIS STRIDE, TAKES A HARD ROAD DAY BY DAY SWEEPING OBSTACLES AWAY. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND IN YOUR PLAN. SAY NOT - I CANNOT, BUT - I CAN. THE PRIZES OF LIFE WE FAIL TO WIN, BECAUSE WE DOUBT THE POWER WITHIN. Author Unknown
This poem spoke to me in a way that I felt deep within me. I have had this posted where I can see it for some time, because the dreams inside me have seemed impossible at times, I have chosen to believe that I will get through to the goal I have. It may not be in my time, but I'm sure that it will be in God's time. And that will be the right time.
I have a plan. I think it is good to have a plan. Doesn't our "Just for Today" poem say that we should have a plan, we may not always stick to it, but "just for today" I will have a plan.
There is a great power within, my HP, whom I chose to call God. I know this to be true (the power within) because I could not live my life to the full extent that I do if I did not possess this power. I would probably be curled up in a little ball somewhere, dug deep in the earth like a mole. Or maybe I'd be an ostrich with it's butte sticking up in the air and it's head in the sand, like no one can see it's pain. Or maybe I'd just play opossum and lay there like I'm dead, no life, no sign of living....alive but dead inside.
Instead I chose Life and to Live Life to the Fullest. I Will Have a Plan.
