THIS WEEK’S CUP OF MOTIVATION:
When we were young, the world was ours for the taking. We were encouraged that anything was possible if we worked hard and never gave up on our dreams. Somewhere along the way, things changed. Encouragement started to change to “reality” and we were told that we are not tall enough, smart enough or meant to do something. Who has the right to tell us what we are capable of? When exactly is the time that our dreams become impossible? We cannot let anyone or anything take our dreams away from us. The reality is we can be whatever we truly set out minds to be. Our children right now are hearing from us that they can be anything they want to be if they work hard. Let’s start listening to ourselves instead of what others say. It’s never too late to dreams reality. Dreams will never die as long as we believe in ourselves and have the faith and courage to follow them. This week, drown out the negative naysayers and listen to you inner voice. We are all capable of so much more. Imagine the possibilities! We believed that as children. Let’s believe it again.
ENCOURAGEMENT CORNER…
Know yourself:
An eagle’s egg was placed in the nest of a prairie chicken. The egg hatched and the little eagle grew up thinking It was a prairie chicken. The eagle did what the prairie chickens did.
It scratched in the dirt for seeds. It clucked and cackled. It never flew more than a few feet because that is what The prairie chickens did….
One day he saw an eagle flying gracefully and majestically In the open sky. He asked the prairie chickens: “What is that beautiful bird?” The chickens replied, “That is an eagle. He is an outstanding bird, but you cannot fly like him Because you are just a prairie chicken.”
So the eagle never gave it a second thought, Believing that to be the truth. He lived the life of and Died a prairie chicken, depriving himself of his heritage Because of his lack of vision.
What a waste! He was born to win, But was conditioned to lose. Do not let people or situations or even yourself Condition you to lose in life.
