A thought that keeps me going
"Ever notice that often, the most depressing days are the cloudy, rainy days? Yet the rain is what allows everything around us to grow. I feel that the soul is the same way. While we all seek joy in our lives, it is often the times when we are down and feel as if there are nothing but black clouds over our heads that we have the greatest potential for growth."

"Great happiness does not come from being able to satisfy what your heart desires but being able to give yourself in love, even if it costs you to sacrifice."

It's like living for a cause...
You build your life from the ground up,
Crawling, walking, finally, running.
Everything in life is broken down in phases, steps.
The first one is the most essential,
For it decides your direction.
When you trip and fall,
Crawl till you can walk,
Walk until you can run.
Never forget to stop,
Look back, down, and forward
To make sure you're going
In the right direction.

I wrote this after difficult times with my mother who has cancer to remind her to take one step at a time in her everyday battle.
We come together, forming a group
Each of us, sharing our own truths
Searching for a greater guidance
Which does not ask for our silence
Opening ourselves to be received
By those around us who believe
Gaining strength from others
Wisdom
Learning the value of optimism
Sharing our love for those in need
So they of course can also succeed
Learning the value of our worth
While freeing ourselves from our hurt
Thankful each and every day
For the faith that has been brought our way

"So you want to see into your FUTURE? Take a good look at the goals and plans you have written down and read, habits you have completed, and attitudes you have displayed - TODAY. The future you want begins with the today you are experiencing - NOW!"
Copyright © 2007 Dr. Robert B. Sheely
I realize there comes a time in a person's life that they must take total responsibility for all that the future brings. Yes, God is a partner in my life and my future - but God tends to partner in a more obvious way with those that have a plan and the motivation to take the first step to make their dreams come true. God has given me the imagination and freedom to create my life and my future all by myself, or by following every slight intention of what God would want for me, or in partnership with him as I listen and as He gives me the desires of my heart. (I believe that I have several books in me that must be written soon :)

"In all things, always remember to give thanks. You might not be where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be. If it hasn't happened yet, that doesn't mean it won't happen. Remember a delay is not a denial from God; at his own time, he will make all things beautiful."

This is what I always say to encourage myself when the going gets tough.
