"Remember these in your life: Trees come from a single tiny seed that is submerged in the dark earth; it meets a season of rain and shine to grow. Great men came from simple men who have a tiny desire of their dreams. And as they fulfill their dreams, they meet a season of ups and downs to know."

Every mistake you make,
Every failure, every disappointment,
To keep going on this journey of life is sometimes the hardest thing.
But remember,
Every great person, who has beaten adversity,
Whether from within or without themselves,
Has fallen and stumbled a thousand times.
But they pick themselves up,
Dust themselves down
And carry on

"Do not pray for an easy life, pray to be a strong person. Not to be rich, but to be resourceful. Not to be beautiful, but to feel confident about yourself. Do not pray to remove trials, for it hones you to be a better person. To remove pain & hurt, for it makes you appreciate life. Pray to experience defeat, for it gives you a chance to have hope in your heart, to be HUMAN, closer to God."

Dear God, let me be
Something every minute
Of every hour of my life.
Let me be cold: let me be warm.
Let me be hungry...have too much to eat.
Let me be ragged or well dressed.
Let me be sincere-be deceitful.
Let me be truthful; let me be a liar.
Let me be honorable and let me sin.
Only let me be
Something every blessed minute.
And when I sleep, let me dream all the time
So that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

I have a very strong faith in God, while I write, I feel closer to him. Learn from this ...it will serve you well.



An Irish Prayer

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.

For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

"Life is not always about winning or bringing home the bacon, as if it's the only way for us to be happy or make our loved ones proud. Oftentimes this leads to desperation, pressure, disappointment, broken spirit, or the worst ever; losing faith. The mere fact you knew you did your best is all that matters. Your loved ones, surely, will understand."

I had the chance to watch the movie "The Mighty Ducks" again. This was the concern of one of the best players the coach has. This player had to always do his best, even if he was out of shape, so that his father would be happy and proud of him.
