If You can dream it you can do it!

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about my dreams and goals and plans in life. My number one goal is to make it to heaven but I have a lot of dreams and desires in life as well. Sometimes I find myself doubting whether or not it is possible to make these things happen but then someone comes along and encourages me by telling me that I really can do it all. Anyway I love quotes and sayings and I found a bunch about reaching your goals so I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you. A few of them have attitude wich I like! I thnk it's good to have a go getter kind of out look on life. I don't think I should be afraid to go for things and try to make something of myself. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a sucess and these quotes and sayings emphasize that. As long as I keep God at the focus of my life I know I am going to go places!!! Anyway enjoy the quotes.

~Shoot for the moon and you'll at least land among the stars.

~Tell me my dreams are unrealistic and I'll tell you yours aren't big enough. -(found it on facebooke).

~You see things and ask why? I dream things that never were and say why not!

~Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

~There are some people that live in a dream world and some people that face reality. Then there are others that turn one into the other. (Love this one!)

~Whatever you can conceive you can achieve. (Brother McDonald)

~A goal properly set is halfway reached. (Zig Ziglar).

~Man was created as a being who should constantly keep improving, a being who on reaching one goal sets a higher one (Ralph Ransom).

~The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach (Benjamin E. Mays).

~Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great (Kenny Rogers).

~I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom.

~The problems of this world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were. (John F. Kennedy)

~The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. (Eleanor Roosevelt)


Ok a few of them may be cheesey but I like them! They offer my encouragement and give me that extra jolt of. . . I don't know, something that makes me say I CAN DO IT!!!!!!

Thanks for reading I hope you enjoyed them!

Until next time

Try some research. . . .

I recently recieved the following e-mail in my inbox and I thought it was quite comical. . . .however upon doing some research I found that the majority of the information in the e-mail was untrue and therefore it was not quite as funny anymore. Before I continue on the tirade I intend to go on in this blog let me first share with you the e-mail.


Astonishing THIS IS TRULY FREAKY................BUT MAKES SENSE NOW Many of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, almost exactly 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations. However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of March 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:

Albert A. Gore, Jr. Hillary Rodham John F. Kerry William J. Clinton Howard Dean Nancy Pelosi Dianne Feinstein Charles E. Schumer Barbara Boxer

See what happens when aliens breed ? Certainly hope this piece of information clears up a lot of things for you.

Now the instant I read this I died laughing. Everyone who knows much about me knows that I am a politics girl and they also know that I am slightly anti-democrat. Therefore I loved this e-mail and I was going to have a little fun with it in a note on facebook. However I decided to do just a little bit of research. Here is what I found out.

The only person on this list born in March of 48 was Al Gore. I have a feeling the e-mail originally started out with just him on the list and someone got the bright idea to "improve" the e-mail by adding a few names to it. Personally I think it would have been just as funny if not funnier with just Al Gore on the list as I am pretty much Anti-Gore more than I am anti democrat lol.

Anyway I just thought I would share with you this one quote. . . "You get more exercise digging for facts than you do jumping to conclusions"

Some people actually believe half of the stuff that comes through their e-mail accounts. As much as I would like to believe every bad or derogatory thing I hear about Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi I'm afraid I can't. . .*sigh* (lol just kidding).

Just a little tip if you get an e-mail and it sounds just a little far fetched chances are it probably is and if you really want to know if something is true or not go to www.snopes.com It's a great site that researches these e-mails that get circulated. Just type in the subject of your e-mail into the search box and let snopes do the work. I have found that probably 98% of the forwards I get warning me that licking stamps can kill me and that Senator Obama refuses to quote the pledge of allegiance simply are not true.

If everyone would take two minutes and check the validity of an e-mail before forwarding it, it would cut down on a lot of the junk.

Well that's all for my little tirade hope you all enjoyed it!

And remember to share this blog with at least ten of your friends or you will have 7 years of bad luck LOL I'm just kidding. . .I love you guys!

God Bless
