YOUR DREAMS
Follow your dreams
Let them take you away
Let them guide and enlighten you
Each step of the way
Embrace them, cherish them
And watch them grow
Work through life's mysteries,
Ebb and flow
Think of your dreams often
And what you must do
So that every one of them
Will come true
Focus on your dream
And not the things in your way
And your load will be lighter
Than it was yesterday
Want to win, prepare to win,
Expect to win too,
Don't let the adversity
Get the best of you
If you plan your work
And work your plan
Your dreams will come true
Time and again
Believe in the magic,
Don't wish it away
Sacrifice for your dreams
Each and every day
Dreams come true
For those who follow through!

"Since you have a choice to think a thought, always think a positive thought. Think BIG about everything and truly believe that you will achieve what you have thought about.

It will come true once the subconscious mind believes it 100 percent. So, always think BIG and take action NOW."
