♥ - WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD 03/14/2013 - ♥

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 to simply let go and move on,
Gather courage together 
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,
If you can be stalwart enough.

There could 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 interests
As you challenge your status quo,
And you learn there are 
so many options in life
And so many ways you can grow.

Perhaps you'll go places 
you never expected
And see things you've never seen -
Or travel to fabulous far-away worlds
And wonderful spots in between.

Perhaps you'll find warmth 
and affection and caring -
A "somebody special" who's there
To help you stay centered 
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.

Life is a glass 

given to us to fill;
A busy life is filling it

 with as much as it can hold;
A hurried life has had more 

poured into it 

than it can contain.

~~William Adams Brown

Work is the basis of living.

 I'll never retire. 

A man will rust out quicker

 than he'll wear out.

~~Harland Sanders

Make each day useful and cheerful 

and prove that you know 

the worth of time 

by employing it well. 

Then youth will be happy, 

old age without regret 

and life a beautiful success.

~~Louisa May Alcott

"This is the beginning of a new day. 

You have been given this day 

o use as you will. 

You can waste it or use it for good.

 What you do today is important

 because you are exchanging

 a day of your life for it.

 When tomorrow comes,

 this day will be gone forever;

 in its place is something 

that you have left behind... 

let it be something good."

For every minute 

you are angry with someone, 

You lose 60 seconds 

of happiness that you can never 

get back.

~~Napoleon Hill

- Enjoy Every Minute You Live -

Your words, 

your dreams, 

and your thoughts 

have the power to create 

conditions in your life. 

What you speak about,

 you can bring about.

If you keep saying 

you can't stand your job, 

you might lose your job.

If you keep saying 

you can't stand your body, 

your body can become sick

If you keep saying 

you can't stand your car, 

your car could be stolen 

or just stop operating.

If you keep saying 

you're always broke,

 guess what? 

You'll always be broke.

If you keep saying 

you can't trust a man, 

you will always find 

someone in your life 

to hurt and betray you.

If you keep saying 

you can't find a job, 

you will remain unemployed.

If you keep saying 

you can't find someone to love you

 or believe in you, 

our very thoughts will attract 

more experiences

 to confirm your beliefs.

Turn your thoughts 

and conversations around 

to be more positive 

and power packed with faith,

 hope, 

love 

and action.

Don't be afraid to believe 

that you can have 

what you want and deserve.

Watch your "Thoughts," 

They become words;

Watch your "Words," 

They become actions;

Watch your "Actions," 

They become habits;

Watch your "Habits," 

They become character;

Watch your "Character",

 for it becomes your "Destiny"

So.......To prevent any obstacles...

GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!

Enjoy every minute you live!!
