When your dreams start to seem so impossible,
when roadblocks are all you can see,
look beyond all the problems that face you
and focus on possibilities.

Don't limit your thoughts to the present
or solutions you have learned from the past.
Remember to keep looking forward -
you may find the answer at last.

It is you who determines your future;
how your journey through tomorrow will be.
To fill all your days with adventure,
dare to see what no one else dares to see.

So never let obstacles stop you
or keep you from doing your part.
Have faith that your dreams are all possible,
if you truly believe in your heart.

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards:
They try to HAVE more things or more money,
in order to DO more of what they want,
so they will BE happier.

The way it actually works is the reverse.
You must first BE who you really are,
then DO what you need to do,
in order to HAVE what you want.
