Always separate the dream from the plan.
Achieving Dreams
Hold Onto Your Dreams
When life becomes crazy
and your mind is a mess
“Hold onto your dreams”
and hope for the best
If your path becomes unclear
you’ll start to have doubt
“Hold onto your dreams”
for it’ll all work out
It may seem bleak
with no future in sight
“Hold onto your dreams”
everything’ll come to light
Anything is possible
with the right frame of mind
“Hold onto your dreams”
all your desires will be aligned
You’ll achieve your life’s goals
with motivation and flair
“Hold onto your dreams”
inspire hope to everyone, everywhere.
“What It Means To Be A Dreamer” in six words
“Your imagination unlocks anything that’s impossible.”
2019 Haikus
The slate is wiped clean
Strive for the impossible
Your dreams have no end
I‘m reenergized
Endless possibilities
Seeking new frontiers
Always remember
Your past dictates your future
Make changes wisely
Daring The Impossible
Dream big. have outrageous goals;
become the envy of those around you
for daring the impossible
Life is a wide open playground
that needs to be explored
with eyes wide open
and a cavalier attitude
Retain that dogged determination
every time you fall
and rise with vim, vigor
and an abundance of spunk
Become that person
you were truly meant to be
and be an example,
that bright shining light;
passing on that spark of hope
and inspiring others
to reach for their dreams
no matter how grandiose it may be.
Our Dreams
Our dreams,
define us,
brings out our passion,
unites us mind, body and soul,
shapes our character
Our dreams,
make us work above and beyond,
pushing us to the brink,
testing our resolve,
our faith
Our dreams,
create doubts,
questions our path,
instills a sense a failure,
gives a dose of reality
of something that might never be
But to not make an attempt
means eternal regret,
what ifs,
what could’ve been,
loss of purpose in life
So we remain vigilant
and stay the course,
knowing that possibilities
are within reach
If our hearts are true,
and our will is strong,
fearless,
it is then,
and only then
will we be able to reach
Our dreams.
When Your Dream Becomes Reality
When your dream becomes reality,
a sense of self-accomplishment,
unbridled joy,
boastful pride,
all come together
in one harmonious fashion
When your dream becomes reality,
the endless hard work,
excruciating trials,
never-ending tribulations,
were all the catalyst
in creating your character
When your dream becomes reality,
new found worries arise
trepidation,
dismay,
the fear of never achieving
another goal again
But you’ve been down this road
you never gave up
against all odds,
all naysayers,
you prevailed,
you believed in yourself
and in doing so
that is
When your dream becomes reality.
The Three P’s
We all have tons of dreams
some big, some average, some small
Achieving them in our lifetime
is the common theme for us all
The map to our success
is following these three views
Learning them by heart
will help us avoid any miscues
Patience, Persistence & Perseverance
also known as “The Three P’s”
Commit them to one’s memory
is a MUST I do decree
Biding our time without complaint
having “Patience” is the key
The journey’s just beginning
in bringing our dreams to reality
“Persistence” will outlast talent
staying the course, when all else fails
We must get up after every fall
towards our dream we will prevail
In spite of all the difficulties
and the strong urge not to quit
“Perseverance” dictates our true passion
we’ll get there…bit by bit
So pursue your dreams to the ends of the earth
learn “The Three P’s” & follow through
You’ll reach your goals and then much more
of this I promise you.
Finding Inspiration In The “New Year”
I’m not too sure if I’m alone in thinking this way but every single year, just days after we ring in the New Year, I feel re-energized and inspired. Everything and anything unfortunate that occurred the year before is completely erased. I’ve been given a clean slate where anything is possible.
There’s HOPE! I can see it, I can smell it, I can taste it…it’s finally within my grasp.
A sudden rush of invincibility and unbridled optimism fuels my drive to pursue my dreams; this euphoric feeling of boundless positivity and capability is intoxicating. I’m in open space moving at Mach 6 towards my quest in achieving EVERY dream, whether it be big or small.
There’s nothing that I can’t accomplish…there is no fear…no hesitation in thought or action. My focus is razor sharp and crystal clear. The only thought that echoes in my mind like a broken record is “YES! This is THE year! This is gonna be MY year!”
I know that thought is so cliché, but what can I say, I’m an eternal optimist at heart. Feeling this way makes me want to share my words of affirmation and enthusiasm with anyone and everyone around me. That’s a good thing, right?
This wave of emotions will eventually subside as the year progresses, but I’m going to ride it for as long as I can and know wholeheartedly that I gave it my all and then some.
