your goals and maintain your happiness.

From the way most people live,
one would never guess that humans are beings of free will.
Repetition can be a choice, but often it isn't.
The athlete or pianist who practices the same routine
day after day, year after year, has their eye on a goal.
The unending repetition is a conscious choice
in the pursuit of a life dream.
But what about the sameness of most lives?
Observe the morning commute, the after-work drink,
the Sunday football game or religious service -
how many of those people are consciously following their dream,
training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition?
And how many are mindlessly slogging through each day
out of habit and boredom?
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Choose your goal and keep your eye on it. Never give up.
Perhaps you will need to change your plan
and approach you goal from a different direction, but don't quit.
Keep thinking. Keep re-planning. Keep going.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
All successful people men and women are big dreamers.
They imagine what their future could be,
ideal in every respect,

their distant vision,
that goal or purpose.
- Brian Tracy

a day for new beginnings, new dreams, new action -
a day for challenge, adventure, and discovery.

What is your dream?
What action are you taking to further your goals and dreams?
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Can you achieve your goals?
You can't reach your goal if you haven't

And you can't succeed if you don't try -
and then pick yourself up
and try again each time you fail.

It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers,
but for powers equal to our tasks,
to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door
of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.

And they are made just like anything else, through hard work.
And that's the price we'll have to pay
