Fear Not by Unknown

Fear Not By Unknown

Fear not that you might make a mistake in believing your dream.
Fear rather that if you don’t go for it
You might stand before God and he’ll tell you
you could have succeeded had you had a little more faith.

Fear not that you might fail.
Fear rather that you will never succeed
if you never try and if you are unwilling to take risks.

Fear not that you might get hurt.
Fear rather that you will never grow
if you wait for painless success.

The old man said to the young man,
“Why not go out, on a limb,
After all isn’t that where the fruit is.”

Failure By Tim Connor

Failure By Tim Connor

Failure It’s only a word.

But it carries with it so much pain
and so little concern
so much frustration

And so little respect,

so much stress and so little
understanding that people spend their lives
running through their days

In the hope of avoiding the long arm of this little word.

To test our vision, you must risk failure.

To temper your ego, you must attempt
the impossible.

To tell your story, you must
take a chance.

To see beyond the horizon, you must
spread your wings.

To be all you can be, you must stretch, flex, try,

 and go beyond your proven limits.

To bridge the silence, you must risk rejection.

To advance into the unknown, you must risk the peril

Of all your previous beliefs and emotions that feel so secure.

Failure is not negative. It is a teacher.
It moulds, refines, and polishes you
so that one day your light will shine for all to see.

 It isn’t the failure you experience
that will determine your destiny,
but your next step and then the next
that will tell the story of your life.

Take Time:
Take time to think-
It is the source of all power.
Take time to read-
It is the fountain of wisdom.

Take time to play-
It is the source of perpetual youth.
Take time to be quiet-
It is the opportunity to seek God.

Take time to be aware-
It is the opportunity to help others.
Take time to love and be loved-
It is God’s greatest gift.

Take time to laugh-
It is the music of the soul.
Take time to be friendly-
It is the road to happiness.

Take time to dream-
It is what the future is made of.
Take time to pray-
It is the greatest power on earth.

Take time to give-
It is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work-
It is the price of success.

Dreams, Author Unknown

It is not enough to have a dream

unless I am willing to pursue it.

It is not enough to know what is right

unless I am strong enough to do it.

It is not enough to join the crowd, to be acknowledged and accepted,

I must be true to my ideals, even if am left out and rejected.

It is not enough to learn the truth

unless I also learn to live it.

It is not enough to reach for love

unless I care enough to give it.

Dream My Child by Cheryl Lee Kellems

Dream My Child by Cheryl Lee Kellems

Dream of being someone great
Of climbing a mountain so high.
Dream of being a student so bright
Or challenging the clouds and fly.

Be yourself, for yourself
Never hurting another soul.
Be dedicated and determined
While achieving your goal.

With honor and respect
You must live your life.
Being careful as you sow
Your reward in an afterlife.

Remember that which you put out
To others and to self,
Will surely come around again
And sit upon your shelf.
