Up Words

Monday, June 8, 2009

This marks the first blog on my new blog page! This page is intended to be inspirational and uplifting to anyone who visits! My vision is to help others to learn to help themselves. I am no expert, I hold no degree, I have had no FORMAL training in dealing with the issues that seem to haunt people and families, yet I have life experience. I do not have all the answers, but I can do my best to help those who wish to make a positive change in their lives! I myself am in the process of transforming my life into a peaceful, healthy, spiritual lifestyle that will allow me to discover more of who I am! It's hard work, it's not easy, and I have to be disciplined every single day in order to successfully reach my goals. Goals can be reached, new heights can be obtained, you just have to "CHANGE YOUR MIND and CHANGE YOUR LIFE!"

If by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you they
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, or talk too wise:

If you can dream and not make dreams your master,
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken
And stoop and build ‘em up again with worn out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings;
And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “HOLD ON!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And what is more - you’ll be a Man, my son.
