View Full Version : Anything Is Possible
Anything Is Possible
Believe in Yourself,
and Remember that
Anything Is Possible
Believe in what makes you feel good.
Believe in what makes you happy.
Believe in the dreams you've always wanted to come true,
and give them every chance to.
Life holds no promises
as to what will come your way.
You must search for your own ideals
and work towards reaching them.
Life makes no guarantees as to what you'll have.
It just gives you time to make choices
and to take chances
and to discover whatever secrets might come your way.
If you are willing to take the opportunities you are given
and utilize the abilities you have,
you will constantly fill your life
with special moments and unforgettable times.
No one knows the mysteries of life or its ultimate meaning,
but for those who are willing
to believe in their dreams and in themselves,
life is a precious gift in which anything is possible. ~ Dena DiIaconi ~
Reaching Your Dream Takes Courage
Courage is admitting that you're afraid and facing that fear directly. It's being strong enough to ask for help and humble enough to accept it.
Courage is standing up for what you believe in without worrying about the opinions of others. It's following your own heart, living your own life, and settling for nothing less than the best for yourself.
Courage is daring to take a first step, a big leap, or a different path. It's attempting to do something that no one has done before and all others thought impossible.
Courage is keeping heart in the face of disappointment and looking at defeat not as an end but as a new beginning. It's believing that things will ultimately get better even as they get worse.
Courage is being responsible for your own actions and admitting your own mistakes without placing blame on others. It's relying not on others for your success, but on your own skills and efforts.
Courage is refusing to quit even when you're intimidated by impossibility. It's choosing a goal, sticking with it, and finding solutions to the problems.
Courage is thinking big, aiming high, and shooting far. It's taking a dream and doing anything, risking everything, and stopping at nothing to it make it a reality.

My Personal Prayer
© Angie Flores
God grant me the strength to handle life's challenges,
In order to overcome these life long obstacles.
God grant me the courage to stand up for what I believe in,
In order to express my true opinions without fear.
God grant me the answers to my questions,
In order to find some understanding.
God grant me the piece of mind I so desperately need,
In order to remain sane in this inside universe.
God grant me the patience I thought I once had,
In order to with stand everything thrown to me.
God grant me the guidance to be able to succeed,
In order to be whatever it is I want to be.
God I need you now and forever, please help me.

Cool thread:yesyes:
Life is a Journey
Birth is a beginningand death a destinationAnd life is a journey:From childhood to maturityand youth to age;From innocence to awarenessand ignorance to knowing;From foolishness to desecrationand then perhaps to wisdom.From weakness to strength orfrom strength to weaknessand often back again;From health to sicknessand we pray to health again.From offense to forgivenessfrom loneliness to lovefrom joy to gratitudefrom pain to compassionfrom grief to understandingfrom fear to faith.From defeat to defeat to defeatuntil looking backwards or aheadWe see that victory lies notat some high point along the waybut in having made the journeystep by stepa sacred pilgrimage.Birth is a beginningand death a destinationAnd life is a journey;A sacred journey to life everlasting.
A Great Love
Author Unknown
Once upon a time,
There was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Vanity, Knowledge, Richness and Love.
Theirs was a contented existence until one day to everyone's dismay it was discovered that the island was sinking. Everyone was told they must leave. So the feelings all prepared their boats and started leaving their beloved island.
Love was the only one who stayed, behind. Love so cared for the island home that he wanted to stay until they were sure the island was really sinking.

When Love realized that the island was finally sinking, he decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a beautiful boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There are a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no room in here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by, "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you Love. You are all wet and will damage my boat," Vanity answered.
http://www.journeyofhearts.org/kirstimd/sailorg.jpg
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh...Love, I am so sad that I can't help anyone. I prefer to go alone!"
Happiness passed by Love too. She was too happy to notice when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elderly man.
http://www.journeyofhearts.org/kirstimd/sailblu.jpg
Love became very happy that he even forgot to ask the name of the elder. When they arrived to safe grounds, Love asked Knowledge who was the elderly man.
"It was Time." "Time? But why did Time help me?" "Because only Time is capable of understanding such a great Love."
Remember that when things may look the bleakest, and when all appears abandoned, Time is capable of solving anything.
Things may not have a solution today, but tomorrow you may find one!

There are no classes in life for beginners: right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult.
A Nurse’s Prayer
Today, Lord, grant me
The sagacity, courage, and proficiency
To carry out my duties well
And not to find it difficult
To do all that I can
To alleviate the distress
Of all those who are ill
And longing for a cure.
I ask for Your support, Lord
That my work may yield fruit
And I will bring hope
To the heart of the ailing.
My lips speak words of comfort
To soothe the weary heart
In my eyes, a gentle look that speaks
With compassion and empathy.
Make my hands ever gentle,
That with them I will assist the sick
And fill my heart with love and kindness
To support their every effort.
Grant me fortitude and patience
When sighs of suffering surround me
So that, with a consoling smile
I will inspire hearts to tranquillity.
Self-Control
by Author Unknown
I've heard it said don't go to bed
while hanging on to sorrow,
you may not have the chance to laugh
with those you love tomorrow.
You may not mean the words you speak
when anger takes its toll,
you may regret your actions
once you've lost your self-control.
When you've lost your temper
and you've said some hurtful things,
think about the heartache
that your actions sometimes bring.
You'll never get those moments back,
such precious time to waste,
and all because of things you said
in anger and in haste.
So if you really love someone
and your pride has settled in,
you may not ever have the chance
to say to them again....
"I love you and I miss you,
and although we don't agree,
I'll try to see your point of view,
please do the same for me."

A message is very encouraging that we should hear more often. We can and will make a difference. Share the good word, enter the playback. and senators, newspaper articles and sharing a sense, we need to "combine or Die," if we truly love freedom.
It's Nobody's Fault
by Trixie Asirvatham (http://www.tacreativeservices.com/)
Maybe you feel downhearted
Maybe you're feeling blue
Maybe you're feeling just plain bored
And you don't know what to do -
It's easy to fret and whine
And it's easy to complain
But you don't have to look far
For the reason lies within your mind
Yes it's nobody's fault
Not your boss nor your dad and mum
Nobody's fault
Not your brother or your best chum
You've got no-one to blame
That you find yourself alone
Yes, it's nobody's fault,
Nobody's but your own.
You can choose the way you feel
Whether it's good or bad
Feel upbeat and raring to go
Or tired and sick and sad...
But don't look outside for the cause
For it lies within yourself
You can give up and say, "Oh what's the use?"
Or "I'll make the best of it!"
Because it's nobody's fault
Nobody's but your own
Nobody's fault
That you find yourself alone
You've got no-one to blame
If you find the world a sorry place
Only you can decide
What goes on in your mind.
Before you moan for what you haven't got
Take a look at what you have
You can see the beauty all around
Hear the music of bird sound
You've got legs to walk tall on God's earth
And hands to do what you will...
Pick up a pen and write,
play a guitar
Or get into a fight.
Yes it's nobody's fault
That you're down or feeling blue
Nobody's fault
That you have nothing to do
You've got no-one to blame
That you find yourself alone..
Yes it's nobody's fault
Nobody's but your own.
So before you exercise
Your muscles in a frown
Turn your mouth upwards at the corners
You'll smile before too long
Don't look for company
When you wallow in your misery
You make others feel good when you feel good
So don't you think you should??
For it's nobody's fault
If you can't find the good in the bad
Nobody's fault
If you choose to feel sad, not glad
It's time to change your attitude
To life's vicissitudes
So look for the good, and before too long
The good things will happen to you.
