Just Go After It Already!!!

So I've been thinking lately...why is that we all aren't living out our dreams? Why do we settle for what we can get out of life? Why not dream the dream and then go out and live it? I ask myself these questions from time-to-time...am I really living my dream? Are you living your dreams? If not, then why not?

Why not just go after it already!!!

A little more to ponder...

Believing in the Dream...

Another poem to ponder...

Dreaming...

Dreams, unspoken, what are they really...

Uncertainty that creeps through your thoughts...

Broken promises to who you'd thought you'd become...

No...

Dreams are like raindrops, too many to count, yet many are washed away or become dried up...

Dreams are to be achieved, no matter how small or how big.

Trust in the One who birthed the dreams you hold inside of you.

Be confident that all good things can come to past.

Therefore believe, because if you have dreams, to believe in them becomes the miracle…

Be the Change You Wish to See in the World...

It’s occasionally hard to understand the essence of why things happen the way they do. It’s always something, isn’t it…there is always another TRAGEDY that lurks beyond what we can see…it’s the unwed mother who hurts herself because she can’t bear to tell her parents that she is pregnant out of wedlock…or it’s the gunman who, out of desperation, allows his internal rage to explode on the innocent around him…

We live in a nation that when the unthinkable happens, another unspeakable crime is committed to avenge the first. We ask why to the reasons people do the things they do, but what we should be asking is what in our society is causing desperation…the ultimate desperation to act out in violence and hatred...

Whatever happened to hope and the idea that change is possible?

What if we ALL believed we could help the world in its loneliness and despair? In a moment we could be gone; in a flash we could disappear; so perhaps, at this moment in time, you can be the change that the world needs…you can be the person to provide aid to the unwed mother or be the smiling face that gets to know the unknown gunman, who then, in turn, would choose NOT to act out his internal wrath…

Think about it…

A Poet's Heart...

Ok everyone...I'm a bit of a poet, so let me know what you think...most of the time, my poems are merely random thoughts...but honestly, my thoughts are all I have! God Bless!

CHAOS...TYPICAL...PERHAPS
It's the world around us that produces everyday CHAOS, everyday uncertainties...invisible illusions of this element we call life...

The CHAOS...it lingers around EVERY bend...around EVERY corner...

It's the TYPICAL that keeps us from moving forward, to escape the CHAOS, to escape the madness of the uncertainty...

PERHAPS...it's breaking the TYPICAL that keeps us real; the invisible from being merely that...seeing the uncertainty for what it really is...

PERHAPS...You have to see the world before you can change it...

...PERHAPS......No man can sincerely help another without helping himself...

CHAOS......TYPICAL...

...The truth can only set you free...

...CERTAINTY...
