Poet: Julie Hebert, Lindaikejisblog.com Your smile lights my way through life, And keeps me warm inside. It reminds me that people are good, Especially when their snide. Your smile helps me though each day, Knowing I'll soon see if again. It even makes me want to smile, Even when I'm in pain. Your smile can take my moods away, And help me to see it another way. It reminds me not too take things so hard, And so seriously every day. Your smile I am so very thankful, And of course for you as well. You always know just what to say, And never let me dwell. So thank you so much for all your smiles, And for loving me each day. Life can be very tough but thankfully, I've got you to help shine my way

A Day Will Come lindaikejisblog.com Poet: Julie Hebert , A day will come in every life, When appreciation is rendered. And this should be taken seriously, And given with love and tender. Anyone who deserves appreciation, Must have done something great. So share with them the way you feel, And always treat them right. But keep in mind that appreciation, Should be given again and again. If you truly appreciate, You'll remind them how great they've been. Do something special to thank the ones, Who've made a difference to you. But don't forget to thank them again, For everything they do.

What If Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2012 Asking "what if this" and "what if that", No good has ever come. The questions that these words ask, Are not as good as some. "What if" really means the same, As doubting what you've done. You can't go back and change the past, What's done is what is done! "What if" also can be the words, Spoke of thee unsure. It's just like those who speak the words, I'll try, instead of sure. Saying words of so little power, Is a wasted pun. Not to mention the uncertainty, You share with everyone. Next time you find the words "what if" Crossing your mind. Replace them with more certain words, Like "we should do" or "we should find". The worst thing any of us can do is, Doubt ourselves from the start. So think about the words you use, And choose words that make you sound smart.

How You Accomplish Your Work Poet: Julie Hebert How you accomplish your work , Says a lot about who you are. As many other things can, Life can be very b izarre. Do you attack your work, With confidence that goes for miles? Or do you approach with fear, Having trouble tackling the piles? To have confidence in your work, Means you are self assured. You love everything about your job, And feel very secure. If you approach with fear, You're usually not so sure. The work you do makes you uncomfortable, And you definitely don't feel secure. It often makes me wonder, How people work in jobs they hate. Sometimes they have no choice, And other times they sit and wait. For those who have a choice, To do the work they love. Count yourselves very lucky, And remember to thank above. Be encouraged by this motivating poem by Poet Ellen Gates. If you are considering work but feel the work you are not doing is important then read this poem. No matter what the job it plays a role in the succ

Your Mission Poet: Ellen M. H. Gates If you cannot on the ocean Sail among the swiftest fleet, Rocking on the highest billows, Laughing at the storms you meet; You can stand among the sailors, Anchored yet within the bay, You can lend a hand to help them As they launch their boats away. If you are too weak to journey Up the mountain steep and high, You can stand within the valley. While the multitudes go by; You can chant in happy measure. As they slowly pass along; Though they may forget the singer They will not forget the song. If you cannot in the harvest Garner up the richest sheaves Many a grain, both ripe and golden, Oft the careless reaper leaves; Go and glean among the briars Growing rank against the wall, For it may be that their shadow Hides the heaviest grain of all. Do not, then, stand idly waiting, For some greater work to do; Fortune is a lazy goddess, She will never come to you. Go and toil in any vineyard, Do not fear to do or dare, If you want a field of labor. You can

Figure It Out Figure it out for yourself, my lad, You're all that the greatest of men have had, Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes, And a brain to use if you would be wise. With this equipment we all began, So start for the top and say "I can." Look them over, the wise and great, They take their food from a common plate, And similar knives and forks they use, With similar laces they tie their shoes, The world considers the brave and smart, But you've all they have when they made their start. You are triumph and come to skill, You can be great if you only will. You're well equipped for what path you choose, You have arms and legs and a brain to use, And the Man who has risen great deeds to do Began his life with no more than you. You are the handicap you must face, You are the one who must choose your place, You must say where you want to go, How much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but He Let's you decide what you want to

Dreamer Climbing higher mountains I will not descend downward Until after I have conquered that fear Clasping stars within my hands They shall not stray from my touch I am a dreamer My wings lie in my mind Where they allow me to divide the clouds As I ascend through their cotton-like tufts One cannot pierce my heart with any arrow It is filled with pure bliss and compassion No one will ever be able to seize that from me Although at times my eyes may look wounded My strength has never fled.

May you have...... Enough happiness to keep you sweet, Enough trials to keep you strong, Enough sorrow to keep you human, Enough hope to keep you happy; Enough failure to keep you humble, Enough success to keep you eager, Enough friends to give you comfort, Enough wealth to meet your needs; Enough enthusiasm to look forward, Enough faith to banish depression, Enough determination to make each day better than yesterday. "Nature, time, and patience are the three great physicians." Proverb

Thinking Happiness Think of the things that make you happy, Not the things that make you sad; Think of the kind and true in mankind, Not its sordid side and bad; Think of the blessings that surround you, Not the ones that are denied; Think of the virtues of your friendships, Not the weak and faulty side; Think of the gains you've made in business, Not the losses you've incurred; Think of the good of you that's spoken, Not some cruel, hostile word; Think of the days of health and pleasure, Not the days of woe and pain; Think of the days alive with sunshine, Not the dismal days of rain; Think of the hopes that lie before you, Not the waste that lies behind you; Think of the treasures you have gathered, Not the ones you've failed to find; Think of the service you may render, Not of serving self alone; Think of the happiness of others And in this you'll find your own. "It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere."

Health Of The Mind The body can be a source of wealth Train it right for your health. When the body is ready Your mind will steady. A peace will surround your being And your face will give off a glow As your training has brought the healing Your mind and body know.

Success Personified To each morning the sun does shine When all seems like a newborn time To dwell in laughter so much Is only the beginning for me to clutch. I will go out to find Intelligent people of like mind. To suffer or endure Of friends who but will not do. To look upon the earth with glee For all beauty is in me To grasp the clouds way up high There is more before I die. May I go upon the street Never ending on my feet Seeking out the best in others Always to find I have more brothers. To make a part of the world A better place you see. For every one I must explore To look upon them as no one before. To seek out and help Others is more than joy To be valued and respected In all my life reflected. All of this as said before Makes me want to reach out more For it is a challenge for me to reach This is success for all to preach.

Get Inspired Today Regret Today How many times do we say something that we immediately realized was not the right thing to say? How many times do we look back on an event and think, if only I had. . . How many times do we do something that we wish hadn't done? You can't change what has been said. You can't change a past event. You can't change what has been done. Do you call it regret, sorrow, repentance? Do you think about what might have been? Do you relive an event the way it should have been? Forget about regret, and focus. Focus on today, not on the past. Focus on what you can do, not what you didn't do. The only thing to regret is living in the past The only thing to feel sorrow for is not living each day to the fullest. The only thing to do to repent is to sincerely say, I'm sorry. Don't live your life regretting yesterday. Live your life so tomorrow you won't regret today.

My Creed To live as gently as I can; To be, no matter where, a man; To take what comes of good or ill And cling to faith and honor still; To do my best, and let that stand The record of my brain and hand; And then, should failure come to me, Still work and hope for victory. To have no secret place wherein I stoop unseen to shame or sin; To be the same when I'm alone As when my every deed is known To live undaunted, unafraid Of any step that I have made; To be without pretense or sham Exactly what men think I am. To leave some simple mark behind To keep my having lived in mind, If enmity to aught I show, To be an honest, generous foe, To play my little part, nor whine That greater honors are not mine. This, I believe, is all I need For my philosophy and creed.

Risk To laugh is to risk appearing a fool, To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement, To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss To love is to risk not being loved in return, To hope is to risk despair, To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free.

Words of Wisdom From Young-Evans Believe while others Believe while others are doubting. Plan while others are playing. Study while others are sleeping. Decide while others are delaying. Prepare while others are daydreaming. Begin while others are procrastinating. Work while others are wishing. Save while others are wasting. Listen while others are talking. Smile while others are frowning. Commend while others are criticizing. Persist while others are quitting.

When I watched this, I was like Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.

Do More Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work. Do more than teach; inspire. Do more than earn; enrich. Do more than give; serve. Do more than live; grow. Do more than suffer; triumph.

Words of wisdom by Poet: William Arthur Ward Topic; We Must We must be silent before we can listen. We must listen before we can learn. We must learn before we can prepare. We must prepare before we can serve. We must serve before we can lead. "An optimist is a person who undertakes a seemingly impossible task in a spirit of immeasurable enthusiasm, unbounded determination, unbelievable excitement, indestrucible confidence , uncompromising thoroughness, and indefatigable persistence . . . with understandable success,"

Be Inspired by My Words of Wisdom The Optimist vs the Pessimist The optimist turns the impossible into the possible; the pessimist turns the possible into the impossible. The optimist pleasantly ponders how high the kite will fly; the pessimist woefully wonders how soon the kite will fall. The optimist sees a green near every sand trap; the pessimist sees a sand trap near every green. The optimist looks at the horizon and sees an opportunity; the pessimist peers into the distance and fears a problem. To the optimist all doors have handles and hinges; to the pessimist all doors have locks and latches. The optimist promotes progress, prosperity and plenty; the pessimist preaches limitations, liabilities and losses. The optimist accentuates assets, abundance, and advantages; the pessimist majors in mistakes, misfortunes and misery. The optimist goes out and finds the bell; the pessimist gives up and wrings his or her hands. "The optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibil

Get Inspired today With Young-Evans Promise Yourself Of all the things you can do, Promise yourself you will try. If doesn't even matter if you win, As long as you apply. No one can ask of anything, Of you, except yourself. If you don't want to make a move, It's you who'll be left out. So don't allow yourself to miss, Out on important things. You may not feel that they are worthy, Yet turn out to be your wings. Experiences make us whole, And make life feel fulfilled. And when it's time to look back, Don't let yourself feel unskilled. So don't allow yourself to stop, For no apparent reason. Promise yourself you will try, And take on any season.

Get Inspired Today With Me Sad As Happy If you look at something as being scary, It is scary, If you look at someone as pretty, They are pretty, The trick is to look at sad, as happy. "If you set your goals, you are setting expectations for yourself. Improving, learning, and encouraging your own self. Rather than staying where you are, your goals are the encouragement, the motivation, and the sense of purpose that will propel you to success!

Inspiration for the Day Playing The Game Some love and some hurt, And others play their games. They pretend to be your friend, While behind your back are lighting flames. These people are all around, Some we know and some we don't. But eventually they are seen, And are dismantled off their throne. The only thing I can manage to say, About people just like this, Is they are very unhappy people, And hurting others to them is bliss. When it is that they are found, You have a choice or two. Remove them from your life , Or play the game they play with you. Playing the game with them, Can bring you down to their level. You'll often feel fake and sometimes feel played, But we sometimes have to entertain the devil. If turning away is an option, And sometimes this isn't so. Choose to live you life around people, Who want you to be happy and grow. Sometimes we can't choose the people, That fill our lives everyday. But we will always have the option, Of how often certain people

Get Inspired Today With Ahanotu Fednand When We Share When we share with someone else, Something valuable to us. You may find out later on, To them they feel like they were blessed. Some of us have lots to give, And some of us do not. If someone could benefit, Why not give them a shot. Sharing is a wonderful thing, Especially to those you've shared with. There are a lot of kind people out there, And that is not a myth. So next time you see someone, Who could benefit from something you can share.

Get Inspired Today With Young-evans What Counts It isn't the money you're making, it isn't the clothes you wear, And it isn't the skill of your good right hand which makes folks really care. It's the smile on your face and the light of your eye and the burdens that you bear. Most any old man can tell you, most any old man at all, Who has lived through all sorts of weather, winter and summer and fall, That riches and fame are shadows that dance on the garde wall. It's how do you live and neighbor, how do you work and play, It's how do you say "good morning" to the people along th way, And it's how do you face your troubles whenever your skie are gray. It's you, from the dawn to nighttime; you when the day is fair, You when the storm is raging - how do you face despair? It is you that the world discovers, whatever the clothes yo wear. You to the end of the journey, kindly and brave and true, The best and the worst of you gleaming in all that

Get Inspired today With Young-Evans The Oceans Shore As I walk along the oceans shore The feeling of peace, longing for more As I sit upon soft wet sand The gentle waves, touch my hand This Aura of wonder and tranquility Stretching as far as my eyes can see Watching the reflections move with the flow. Feeling the comfort, of its inner glow Oh how I wish, this feeling would stay As I know I must walk away Wish I could leave all the hurt, pain and tears Behind me along, with all my fears Wouldn't it be nice, if we could leave on that shore Feelings that keep in our hearts, ever more If I wrote them in the sand, would they be swept away? By the waves crashing in, Gone on their way Leaving us free, of DOUBTS and DESPAIR The ocean will handle them, then we won't care The ocean can be such a beautiful place As our minds wonder in and out of space. I think that I already know We reap whatever we did sow I will keep looking, forever more But not what I wrote,on that OCEANS SHORE. v

I wish I may, I wish I might, For something good to come in sight. I wish to see my shinning star, And maybe it will come tonight. And with that star I plan to wish, For all I love to come to me. My hopes and dreams I will soon see, All that's needed is to wish for thee. This is how I use to think, Before I realized wishing is like a wink. When you wink you hope to show, But never really are able to know. Wishing won't make your dreams come true, That is only something you can do. If you want something to happen, It's you who'll have to do the snapping. So if you're going to make a wish, On a night a star will fish. Make a wish for strength and courage , At least this will be something to encourage. Wishing is all fine and dandy, As long as you don't make it handy. Wishing is for you to dream, If you want success, you're better to scheme.

Seeing The Cuteness Cuteness comes in many forms, And seen on every day. If you want to see something cute, Open your eyes and filter out the gray. Too many of us are cuteness blind, And see only shades of gray. We allow ourselves to become too busy, And leave no room for play. When you allow happier shades to come through, And you start to look for the cute. You'll realize all you have been missing, As cute should never be put on mute. To see a life with so much cuteness, Is to see a life through the eyes of your heart. And our heart is full of love and kindness , It would be like seeing only the good parts.

Mirrors come in different ways, To show us what we lack. But most importantly, Don't forget to always look. Be your best And life will look after the rest. What we see and what we do Are reflections of what is true Don't let your mirror reflect the things That you do not want to come true. Instead each day set your goals Strive to complete, it is good for your soul. Give life all you've got Never look in the mirror and stop.

Count your health instead of your wealth; Love your neighbor as much as yourself.

Get Inspired....Today Carry On! It's easy to fight when everything's right, And you're mad with the thrill and the glory; It's easy to cheer when victory's near, And wallow in fields that are gory. It's a different song when everything's wrong. When you're feeling infernally mortal; When it's ten against one, and hope there is none, Buck up, little soldier, and chortle: Carry on! Carry on! There isn't much punch in your blow. You're glaring and staring and hitting out blind; You're muddy and bloody, but never mind. Carry on! Carry on! You haven't the ghost of a show. It's looking like death, but while you've a breath, Carry on, my son! Carry on! And so in the strife of the battle of life It's easy to fight when you're winning; It's easy to slave, and starve and be brave, When the dawn of success is beginning. But the man who can meet despair and defeat With a cheer, there's a man of Go

How When Where It is not so much WHERE you live, As HOW, and WHY, and WHEN you live, That answers in the affirmative, Or maybe in the negative, The question Are you fit to live? It is not so much WHERE you live, As HOW you live, and whether good Flows from you through your neighborhood . And WHY you live, and whether you Aim high and noblest ends pursue, And keep Life brimming full and true.

And I have the power to change it into whatever I want it to be. With the choices I make, I am constantly fulfilling the vision I have for my life.

Get inspired Today with Young-evans Attitude "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what others think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes."

For it isn't your Father or Mother or wife Whose judgement upon you must pass. The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. Some people may call you a straight shooting chum And call you a wonderful guy, but the man in the glass says you're only a bum If you can't look him straight in the eye. He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest For he's with you clear to the end, And you have passed your most dangerous test If the man in the glass is your friend. You may face the whole world down the pathway of life And get pats on the back when you pass, But your final reward will be heartache and strife If you've cheated the man in the glass.

Some people may call you a straight shooting chum And call you a wonderful guy, but the man in the glass says you're only a bum If you can't look him straight in the eye. He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest For he's with you clear to the end, And you have passed your most dangerous test If the man in the glass is your friend. You may face the whole world down the pathway of life And get pats on the back when you pass, But your final reward will be heartache and strife If you've cheated the man in the glass.

For most, it is the maddening chase toward a better way of life or more of something. More fame, power, recognition, money, or material stuff.For some, it is the understanding of a loving partner, the love of their child, or the people that they can count on when life throws them a curve. I am coming to believe that success is not more material wealth, but peace, happiness, contentment, and love. Most of all love. Real success is not to be sought after in the outer world, but discovered in your inner world. I am not condemning the stuff of life. We all want the things that life offers. But we don't need as much as we think we do. Sooner or later you will discover that real success is friends, strangers, and anyone who crosses our path. It is kindness shared, support given and received, listening, giving, and caring. These will endure whil

 Get Inspired today with Ahanotu Fednand We Learned It All In Kindergarten Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandbox. These are the things I learned. Save everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don’t take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some, and draw and sing and dance and play and work every day some. Take a nap in the afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup? The roots go down and the plant goes up, and nobody really knows why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice — and even the little seed in

I clean my brushes, Choose my palette Of vibrant, living colours, And begin to fill Today's blank canvas

Get Inspired today with Ahanotu Fednand .The Road Not Taken by: Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Get inspired by Ahanotu Fednand here# Don't Quit When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit. Rest, if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns As every one of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don't give up though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far: So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

 Get Inspired Today With Ahanotu Fednand Grammar Live in the active voice, rather than passive. Think more about what you happen than what is happening to you. Live in the indicative mood, rather than in the subjunctive. Be concerned with things as they are, rather than as they might be Live in the present tense, facing the duty at hand without regret for the past or worry over the future. Live in the singular number, caring more for the approval of your own conscience than for the applause of the crowd.
