Week One
Dear reader,

Do you sometimes feel you are restricted by your current situation? Then maybe it's time for you to CHANGE. Ask yourself how could "change" change these limitations you are facing? I use to suffer from not dreaming and not believing until, I took control of my life and started to do the things that excited me. No matter what current situation you are in, you can become better. The walk may be long, but you will get there. Share with us some of your Change.

  1. I too believe in change and also that it is necessary. I live by believing that any dream can be realized and any goal achieved. I took a stance recently to change situations that were breaking me down. Today, I feel stronger and more positive that tomorrow will be better.

    Keep the blogs coming Terryjp, they are inspirational.

  2. A dear friend of mine introduced me to a place where he visits to let his mind be free. He encouraged me to free my myself and be happy for me. At first I didn't understand what he meant but after careful thought I realized that inorder to be happy and accept change, I had to change myself. I realized that I had to start believing in everything that I ever wanted and dreamt of and then take the necessary steps to achieve them.

    Like you Terry, he is a firm believer in CHANGE and because of his encouragement, I am a better person today.

  3. I live by the principle that if one can achieve...then so can I regardless of any limitations or perceived obstacles.

    The following quote is from my new found hero and role model who is himself a symbol of change, hope and what we can achieve, if we believe.

    "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
    Barack Obama

    .....I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IF WE CHANGE OURSELVES...THEN WE START TO CHANGE THE WORLD WE LIVE IN AND THAT WHICH OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN MUST LIVE IN!

  4. I want to give a special thanks to Leanna and Marsh for being the first to contribute a comment to this blog. One of my dreams is to be able to create a place where we can all learn from each other and encourage one another to dream forever and start to believe that now is the time to become a better person. Hopefully, we all understand that we cannot do this alone. I appreciate how both of you inspired me by your entry to continue doing this more. I hope people learn from us.....so it's our responsibility to pass it on to people who are in need.

    Keep dreaming and believing,

    Terryjp

  5. CHANGES are like food for the soul. We need CHANGE in order to live healthy and sane lives. Imagine a world that remained the same.?.Now..Imagine your life if we never welcomed CHANGE. We would have never matured,grown,or be the people we are today. Dare yourselves to welcome the CHANGE your destiny holds for you...

    Believe in your dreams because your dreams are your beliefs...

    Kudos to you, Terryjp!

  6. Two years ago I had a plan that was to be life changing for me but I hit a road block. That's when I realized that sometimes you have to take two steps back to take a giant leap forward. Im not a quitter, I just needed a new plan. I spend a lot of time alone and its ok because it allows me to do some soul searching. I know that life is what you make it and I control my destiny. So on the eve of a new year a new start a new plan is now in motion.
    Terry you continue to inspire me, thanks for the encouragement.

  7. Change is something that is needed throughout life inorder for us to grow, into a person that we would be proud of. Sometimes unexpected change is the most fulfilling because it allows us, to have a clear view of the transitioning, from a bad situation into something great. What use to be the hardest thing for me about change was accepting it, until I realized that as much as I would like to control certain situations, I can't. When I came to that relization, life was a lot smoother. In life things are not always going to go the we envision it, but has to be accepted because in that moment in time, life was designed just for us in that particular way. Change is the key to life because without change how can we move forward?

  8. Hello Jackie and Jen, how nice of you to join us and welcome to Dream forever..Believe now. Feel free to stop by and add a comment.
    I have enjoyed reading your comments and they were truly felt. Yes Jackie, CHANGE allows us to grow and mature into better people. And Jen, road blocks are obstacles that are set before us. Once overcome it builds character, a stronger character, giving us a sense of belief. Being alone isn’t so bad, I find that being alone allows me to truly better understand myself or should I say my HIGHEST self. I hope the plan you have in place turns out successful. You know what they say" without a plan-you plan to fail"

    How many of you have a PLAN?

  9. Hello Andrea and Welcome.
    As I see my friends list is growing. Like you, I also had some encounters of wanting to control situations, but, I realized that there are things that I can control and there are things that I simply cannot.:-((
    I think we all, at one point and time wanted to control a situation that we were unable to. It’s a bad feeling but, in the end we receive a better understanding.
    Life is about obtaining a better understanding.

    Live free..

  10. Positive thinking is a powerful thing. Its easy to get fustrated when things are not going the way that you feel they should, however you must remain positive and in return the results will be also. Life is about learning fron your mistakes and making each day better than the last. If there is to be a change in life then the way you think must change. I learned this when I came up with my life chaning plan.Thinking good thaughts is easy but tuning out the bad ones is a bit of a challenge. Sometimes my day is going great then I would ALLOW something or someone to spoil it but not anymore. Im learning how to deal with negitive things in a different way. I Simply think about the people in my life that I LOVE, that changes everything. I focus on what I want as opossed to what I dont want or what worries me.

    "What you think about you bring about. Your whole life is a manifestation of the thaughts that go on in your head." Lisa Nichols Author

    Im also learining to see things that I want as if they are already mine and im sure it will be.
    Thanks for allowing me to share.....

  11. Hello Jen and welcome back,
    Positive thinking, that’s very good. As I read your comment I envisioned you making a CHANGE in your life. Positive thinking is a mental attitude. It anticipates happiness, joy, health, and a successful outcome. The good thing is that we are able to recognize good things versus the bad.
    In response to your saying "Sometimes my day is going great then I would ALLOW something or someone to spoil it but not anymore". It reminded me of what my mentor once told me. He said" he who angers you-controls you" Never let anything or anyone get in your way of HAPPINESS. Always stay in faith. We should always remember though, POSITIVE thinking does not happen overnight. We must reprogram our way of thinking into always thinking positive.

    Dream….

The facial expressions that are displayed represents the struggles you have been through. As the song hits it's high points,that is when you break free and fly away. Your CHANGE is going to come...Dream
