My life philosophy which is
also my copyrighted quote is the following:
Believe! Don’t dream big; dream bigger. The sky is the limit so reach
for the stars!”
Believe and Dream have always been key words in my life. My high school valedictorian speech was about believing in oneself. I always look to the future and constantly ask myself what else can I pursue. The sky is the limit. I am a forever teacher, but I will also always be a forever student. There is so much more to learn and to explore and to experience. As long as I am able to do that, I will never stop.
I wrote a poem for a published
article about the need to take risks. I will share this as my advice to others.
LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF
by Randi D. Ward
Look inside yourself
to find out what you can see.
Do you honestly see what you want to be?
If not, there is no time to waste.
You need to make some changes in haste.
Everything in this world is open to you.
You just must be willing to take a risk or two.
It may not be so easy to do this at the start.
It will require hard work and passion from your heart.
Some people may try to stand in your way.
You must be strong and tell them to go away.
You must reach down inside to “unearth” your power.
You must strive to “climb” to the top of your “life tower”.
The climb may be slower than you hope or desire.
But when you reach the top, your heart will feel the “fire.”
So always move forward and never look back.
Doing this will keep you progressing on your perfect track.
Being
patient and never giving up are essential.
Obtaining the success desired takes time as well as hard word. For most of us, success does not happen overnight. Ups and downs will occur. Getting through the
hard or slow times requires taking a deep breath, believing in one’s ultimate
goal, and then moving on with a new plan if necessary.
