We are each of us born into this life with a particular purpose,

or mission, A gift to give the world.

We will find that whatever is our passion is generally
That which is related to our purpose and for which we have a

particular gift To develop and share.

We all have dreams and wishes. Unless we do
Something about them, that is exactly what they remain.

It is action that Brings our dreams and wishes to life.

We can do this by setting goals
And taking it step by step until our goals are realized.

Never be daunted
By those who would discourage you.

Listen to and act on your inner voice,
Let your life be an adventure! Mistakes and all.

After all, it is your life!

Hope

If you can look at the sunset and smile,

Then you still have hope.

If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower,

Then you still have hope.

If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly,

Then you still have hope.

If the smile of a child can still warm your heart,

Then you still have hope.

If you can see the good in other people,

Then you still have hope.

If the rain breaking on a roof top can still lull you to

Sleep, then you still have hope.

If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in wonder,

then you still have hope.

If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant under your fingertips,

then you still have hope.

If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and

Optimism, then you still have hope.

If you give people the benefit of a doubt,

Then you still have hope.

If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that

Have touched your life, then you still have hope.

If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings a

Pleasant surprise, then you still have hope.

If the suffering of others still fills you with pain and

Frustration, then you still have hope.

If you refuse to let a friendship die, or accept that it

Must end, then you still have hope.

If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and

Reflection, then you still have hope.

If you still watch love stories or want the endings to be

Happy, then you still have hope.

If you can look to the past and smile, then you still have hope.

If, when faced with the bad, when told everything is futile,

you can still look up and end the conversation with the phrase

... "yeah... BUT..." then you still have hope.

Hope is such a marvelous thing. It bends, it twists, it

Sometimes hides, but rarely does it break.

It sustains us when nothing else can.

It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead,

When we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.

Hope puts a smile on our face when the heart cannot manage.

Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see it.

Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused of the

Direction.

Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished and nurtured,

and something that will refresh us in return.

And it can be found in each of us, and it can bring light into the darkest of places.

Never lose hope.

Greateness

Even when the pain is great, the goodness in your life is

Greater. Feel that goodness, wrap your awareness around it,

And act on it.

You have always known what joy feels like, and you can

Always allow that joy to flow out through your life. Each

Joy lives again, even more intensely, every time it is

Recalled.

Gently let go of the beliefs that you need this thing or

That situation. Your spirit is always free to soar without

Limit, no matter what.

And when it does, when you allow the joy, when you celebrate

The goodness, you bring real value to all that is around

You. Instead of pretending that your troubles are an excuse

To back down, see that they're actually an opportunity to

Enrich your life.

Every beauty exists solely because you see it as such.

Choose to see the beauty woven through all that is.

The love in your life is greater than anything that might

Seem to bring you down. Allow that love to carry you forward

No matter what.
