Motivational Monday - Don't loose your dreams... No one can take them from you!

"The diamond may adorn royalty, regardless of personal worth...

But jewels of thought render even poverty illustrious and sublime."

-Gems for the fireside

I have no idea what "Gems for the fireside" are or is or whatever, but I really liked this when I ran into this as I was doing some work tonight. And it made me think about a few things.

You know, no one can take away our dreams, our thougths or aspirations... No matter how tuff life gets, or how many people try to hold us down... No one can take this away!

So never stop dreaming, never stop thinking about what it is you want, and never allow someone to take it away... You could have nothing in life, nothing... Yet your thoughts can lift you higher than life itself...

Chris, looked it up for you lol

So true, no matter who you are you are free to dream, free to wander to places and riches experienced by all. No one can take that.

Today I will wander down to the stream....................and take a nap or at least I can dream about it lol

Great thought for a motivational Monday! It made me think about the stories I've heard of WWII vets who were in prison camps....with nothing. They didn't give up though, they still had their dreams. Nice post.
