Shinning up Our Dreams

This is to my friends out there, both known and unknown, but mostly to those close to my heart-
Judy Waguma

Our responsibility is to prepare.Our responsibility is to believe.Better yet, our responsibility is to muster the courage to move forward in faith by the help of friends.

With Faith and determination that we can make it, then we have to trust the Guy upstairs to do his work, since it is our Fathers place to know the time and the season of our blossoming and success.

Ours must be the daily ritual of watching for our moment to come.We must be ready when the spotlight focuses on us ......and our moment will come.

What of missed opportunities?What of past disasters?What of past failures ?

Those are in the past;leave them there.They are closed doors, look to the open ones.The problem we constanlty have is that we dwell so much on the closed doors that we fail to see another door opening.

Born blind,Heller Keller, puts it more clearly,'When one door to happiness closses, another door always open,but we often stand and look so long at the door that closes we fail to see the door that opens'

The real challenge of life is to live in the now and to plan for the future.We must look up.

Our job is to stop whining and start shinning .

And as Churchill also told his comrades in the midst of world war II, "Lift up your hearts and All will come right"

Dr Benjamin Hays, son of former slave, and a native of Georgian continually challenged his students with these words, "It must be borne in the mind that the tragedy in life does not lie in not reaching your goal.The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream at all.
It isn't a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture.
It isn't a disgrace not to reach for the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for.
Not failure, but to aim low is a sin"

Ours is not to cry over spilt milk.Ours is to milk the most from everyday and aim high in the future.

Dr Robert Schuller also adds, "Set your goals by your hopes-rather than your hurts"

We can go for the max in our lives if we are determined to turn our scars into Stars!
