Look Up!
Destiny
is more choice than chance...
you may think you are powerless to control what
happens to you in life, but nothing could be further
from the truth. Possibilities always exist,
and your choices will be limited only by where you
choose to look for them.

If you look down...
hanging your head in defeat or despair,
all you will see are your own two feet
firmly entrenched in the place you occupy
at this particular moment in your life.
It is a restricted view, and minor cracks and flaws
become major considerations and will slow you down
as you become more and more focused on this very
small space in a very small world.

If you look out...
the path you are traveling takes on a new
perspective. Perhaps you will see where it is
heading, and you can choose whether or not to
continue. Perhaps you will see other paths not far
in the distance you might wish to try. Perhaps you
will decide to break away and create a new path of
your own. The horizon is expanded mightily when you
look out.

If you look up...
the world suddenly appears limitless.
The vast openness suggests infinite possibilities
and removes boundaries from your vision. With no
boundaries,
you are free to explore options you might never have
considered before. There is freedom in this
expanded
universe that will let you stretch and grow and
explore your maximum potential.

"This Is How To Make A Dream
Come True"
Each new day is a blank
page in the diary of your life. The pen is in your
hand, but the lines will not all be written the way you
choose; some will come from the world and the
circumstances that surround you.

But for the many things
that are in your control, there is something special you
need to know...

The Secret of life is
in making your story as beautiful as it can be.
Write the diary of your days and fill the pages with
words that come from the heart. As the pages take
you through time, you will discover paths that will add
to your happiness and your sorrows, but if you can do
these things, there will always be hope in your
tomorrows....Follow your dreams. Work hard.
Be kind. This is all anyone could ever ask:

Do what you can to make
the door open on a day....That is filled with beauty in
some special way. Remember: Goodness will be
rewarded. Smiles will pay you back. Have
fun. Find strength. Be Truthful. Have
Faith. Don't focus on the things you lack.

Realize that people are
the treasures in life - and happiness is the real
wealth. Have a diary that describes how you did
your best, and....The rest will take care of itself.
~Douglas Pagels

"Catch The Star That Holds
Your Destiny"
Catch the star that
holds your destiny - the one that forever twinkles
within your heart. Take advantage of precious
opportunities while they still sparkle before you.
Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as
long as you commit yourself to it.

Though barriers may
sometimes stand in the way of your dreams remember that
your destiny is hiding behind them. Smile at the
opportunity to try new things and give it your best, for
that's the most anyone can ask. Accept the fact
that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you
make. Have faith in your judgment. Catch the
star that Twinkles in your heart and it will lead you to
your destiny's path. Follow that pathway and
uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.

Take pride in your
accomplishments as they are steppingstones to your
dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes but
don't let them discourage you. Value your
capabilities and talents for they are what make you
truly unique. The greatest gifts in life are not
purchased but acquired through hard work and
determination. Find the star that Twinkles in your
heart for you are capable of making your brightest
dreams come true - give your hopes everything you've got
and you will catch the star that holds your destiny.

"Life Holds Unlimited
Potential And Wonderful Dreams"
You have the ability
to attain whatever you seek; within you is every
potential you can imagine. Always aim higher than
you believe you can reach. So often, you'll
discover that when your talents are set free by your
imagination, you can achieve any goal.

If people offer
their help or wisdom as you go through life, accept it
gratefully. You can learn much from those who have
gone before you. But never be afraid or hesitant
to step off the accepted path and head in your own
direction if your heart tells you that it's the right
way for you.

Always believe that
you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do, and
never forget the value of persistence, discipline, and
determination. You are meant to be whatever you
dream of becoming.
