Keep on Going
You were born with a dream that lies deep in your soul
You were born with a need to reach out to a goal
Swear by all that you know, that you’ll never let go of your dream.
When the road seems too long and your hope’s turn to clay
That’s the time to be strong, where there’s a will there’s a way
Though the way may be slow, you must never let go of your dream.
If you’re living without trying, that’s not living, just a slower way of dying
So hold on tight to what you want and you will wake to greet some great golden morn
When the world seems to say, this is why you were born, here it is, here’s your day
And you’ll reap all you sow, let your cup overflow, if you never let go of your dream.
These are lyrics from a wonderful song that Lou Ann and I used to sing when we were members of the Canyon Singers here in Sedona. The group lasted 25 years until it’s wonderful director, Sandy Reid moved back to Iowa. The lyrics may not be totally accurate; but they are pretty close.
Far too many of us have given up our dreams. Yes, we say life gets in the way. And of course, life is our choices that we make daily, that either lead us closer to or farther away from our dream. And you know what? Your dream can be any size you want it to be. If it feels too large, cut it down to bite sized pieces or get yourself some loving support, folks who will help you manifest it!. Then achieve each smaller dream until you realize the one that is your heart’s fondest desire!
Remember what Jiminy Cricket said:”if your heart is in your dreams, no request is too extreme”. From my dreaming heart to yours, Thomas
