I can,  Author Unknown

Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it will achieve.

Dream great dreams and make them come true. Do it now!

You are unique.

 In all the history of the world there was never anyone else exactly like you,

and in all the infinity to come there will never be another you.

Never affirm self-limitations. What you believe yourself to be, you are.

To accomplish great things, you must not only act,

but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost –

 put foundations under them. Yes you can.

Believing is magic, you can always better your best.

You don’t know what you can do until you try.

Nothing will come of nothing.

If you don’t go out on a limb, you’re never going to get the fruit.

There is no failure except in no longer trying.

Hazy goals produce hazy results.

Clearly define your goals.

Write them down, make a plan for achieving them,

set a deadline, visualize the results and go after them.

Just don’t look back unless you want to go that way.

Defeat may test you; it need not stop you.

If at first you don’t succeed, try another way.

For every obstacle there is a solution.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

The greatest mistake is giving up.

Wishing will not bring success,

but planning, persistence and burning desire will.

There is a gold mine within you

From which you can extract all the necessary ingredients.

Success is an attitude. Get yours right.

It is astonishing how short a time it takes

For very wonderful things to happen.

Health of the Mind by Jerry Brundies

Health of the Mind by Jerry Brundies

The body can be a source of wealth
Train it right for your health.
When the body is ready
Your mind will steady.

A peace will surround your being
and your face will give off a glow
as your training has brought the healing
your mind and body know

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

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.

There is a time for everything. . .

Desiderata By Max Ehrmann

Desiderata By Max Ehrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,

And remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.

 Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others,

even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud & aggressive persons,

they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,

you may become vain & bitter;

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

 it is a real possession in the changing future of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.

 But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself, especially, do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love;

For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment

 It is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,

Gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness.

Beyond wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be,

and whatever your labors and aspirations,

 in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful and strive to be happy.

you valuable lessons.

It’s easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

As You Travel Through Life By Unknown

As You Travel Through Life By Unknown

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 simply let go and move on,
Gather your courage 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

There might 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 things
As you challenge your status quo,
And learn there are so many options in life,

Perhaps you’ll go places you never expected
And see things that you’ve never seen,
Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds
And wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you’ll find warmth and affection and caring
And somebody special who’s there
To help you stay cantered 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!

Anything is possible, Author unknown

If there was ever a time to dare,
to make a difference,
to embark on something worth doing,
it is now.

Not for any grand cause, necessarily…
but for something that tugs at your heart,
something that’s your inspiration,
something that’s your dream.

You owe it to yourself to make your days here count.
have fun, dig deep, stretch, dream big.

know, though, that things worth doing seldom come easy.
there will be good days.
and there will be bad days.
there will be times when you want to turn around,
pack it up, and call it quits.

Those times tell you
that you are pushing yourself, that you are not afraid
to learn by trying.

Persist because with an idea,
determination, and the right tools,
you can do great things.
Let your instincts, your intellect,
and your heart, guide you.

Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.
Of doing something that makes a difference.
Of working hard.
Of laughing and hoping.
Of lazy afternoons.
Of lasting friends.
Of all the things that will cross your path this year.

The start of something new brings the hope of something great, anything is possible
