True desire in the heart for anything good
is God's proof to you
sent beforehand to indicate that It's yours already
That itch that you have to be whatever it is you want to be
in front of the camera or on the stage, behind the stage
That itch, That desire for good is God's proof to you
sent already to indicate that it's yours
You already have it
and we all have that unique gift to go out and touch people, to affect people
Understand that gift, Protect that gift Appreciate that gift, Utilize that gift
Don't abuse that gift Treasure it. You have it
You already have it.
I heard a poem once that said "Many a flower has bloomed unceasingly and
wasted sweetness upon the cold desert air" It's translated that means simply that
many a talented persons have gone unnoticed and the world never had a chance to be
exposed to their talent because that person did not take the time
to begin to express or to demonstrate or to motivate
themselves in the direction to bring that which they
came into the universe to bring.
So what? You fell flat on your face So What?
Start Again Learn from the experience
and start again Don't count yourself out
Don't sentence yourself to a lifetime of being miserable
A lifetime of being broke A lifetime of being unhealthy
A lifetime of being in a relationship that is no longer fulfilling to you
A lifetime of working on a job that does not bring you satisfaction
that's not giving you that creative urge that you need and
that gut to have in your life that simulates you
Don't sin yourself like that You are a human being
Don't volunteer your life that way Your life has too much value to the universe
You've got something to contribute You've got something to give
See, if we just start enjoying where we are if we make that kind of commitment
to enjoy where we are, to experience the experience of life where
we are, to do all we can right now where we are
Forget about the mistakes yesterday Forget about all your failures yesterday
Forget about what you don't have That's not important
The only thing that we have is right now right now, right now
and I say that life is calling on you to call forth on that, the optimist
which I think is one of the most positive groups in the world
They have something called the Optimist's Creed
and I like this is Promise Yourself, I changed it to
Commit Yourself because I think that commitment has
more power than promise. It says -
Commit yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind,
to talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them,
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true,
To think only of the best, To work only for the best,
and expect only the best, To be just as enthusiastic about the success
of others as you are about your own, To forget the mistakes of the past,
and press on to the greater achievements of the future,
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and
give every living creature you meet a smile, To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. Commit yourself to these things.
Isn't that powerful?
What a commitment to make with your life.
