My gift
The day may come when
I will leave you. A sad day, no doubt ....but, a day that will pass. And,
when the loss fades, what would I wish to have you keep? Maybe a truth or
two from my life.
Live your life according
to the dreams you seek. When you cease to have dreams, life gets boring. When
you follow your dream, it will lead to a life-time of new dreams and a trip
you never could have imagined. Only you can give-up on your dream. No one
can deny you the right to your dream.
It is a priceless gift worth fighting for.
Your dreams are like
the steps on a stairway. They are small goals you set because you want them.
And, eventually you reach the top of the stairs and seek the next flight.
They are like children...in their early stages, you really don't know how
they will turn-out. They are the fuel needed for your life's engine. Dreams
are what make life interesting and enjoyable. They can catapult you from
an average guy to a magical wizard. A dreamer is a hard worker who loves
his work .
"Love your neighbor"...A
tough goal. But do treat others with respect.
Don't steal. Don't Lie.
Don't gossip. Even at night, respect others and, in turn, they will respect
you. If you care for other people, you will find tasks laid at your feet that
you don't want. If you care for others, you will find hurts, anger and loss
that will periodically break your heart.....but, that's OK. Broken hearts
are apart of life not to be avoided by self-isolation. Care for others as
much as you can. Help when you can. Listen when you can. Care for others.
Don't forget all the
gifts, joys and blessings that have touched your life. We all have hurts,
tears and a list of offenders. But, similarly, we have all had lots of good
stuff happen too. Work at remembering the good stuff and the dreams you have
seen fulfilled in your life. Don't ever believe you're out of God's plan....even
when you don't try or even when you denounce his love. That is an amazing
thing about Him....he is there working in your life even when you're not
looking.
Life is good on Earth. God is alive and working daily. You are apart
of his plan even when you don't try. But don't forget this secret...when
you're seeking your dreams, your impact on your life and God's plan become
super-generated into what others may see as "amazing".
You are always in the
process of completion. You are never done. There is always an evolving growth
happening. And with that growth, you're human potential and present state
will always be changing. What you appear to be at any single moment should
never be your master. You are always changing. And that degree of change
will always be in direct proportion to your ability to risk. The risk of
moving. changing jobs and changing relationships are all apart of growth.
Helping people is not
the same as "friends". We need to risk investing in others. A marital partner,
close friends are always a source of fuel for our personal engines. If you
have three very good friends in a lifetime, you are lucky! Close relationships
can and will be a problem at times but they still offer purpose for our work,
efforts, goals and dreams. Risk crossing the line with folks that you think
will make good friends...and expect some hurts on occasion. It's just part
of the process of success.
You are traveling within
the correct plan for you (trust me on this one). You are not a good or bad
person...You are just who you are. Don't try to figure yourself out. Just
try to live the best life you can as you pursue your dreams. Good luck. You
are never alone...and, you can trust me on this one too!
