Do fish have DrEaMs.......

Shimmering in the moonlight...sinking in a bowl of jello..grasping for air...It seems like that when your within reach of your goals, dreams or aspirations...there is a part of you that is afraid to risk it all on one thing. What is that makes us have this dream that makes you get up in the morning and keep fighting, but at the same time make you so afraid of your dreams????why......makes me think of the times when i was little and everything i dreamed felt so real...aliens, monsters under my bed, flying to the moon..... why do dreams change as you get older and the magic of being a kid dies? all i know is we must continue to believe in the beauty and magic of dreams for anything is possible. we must be in constant search of our own personal legend and make it come alive....

Remembering a legend...

Michael Jackson, what can be said of the KING OF POP. A man who forever changed history through his music. A man that was more than just an entertainer, he was an inspiration for many, a humanitarian and believed in the goodness of people. It can be said without hesitation that he was taken from us too soon, but his message will be carried down from our generation to the next.

I have a grown up as a fan of Michaels since as long I can remember. As many kids my age amazed at the dance moves MJ performed on stage, where seen as a miracle, a work of god that someone could bestowed upon with such gifts as his. I remember days of just trying to perfect the moonwalk on hardwood floors in my kitchen, never truly realizing that i would just be mimicking a masters work.

So much could be said of a genius like Michael Jackson. The world feels a lot more empty with him gone. All he ever wanted to do was share some of his LOVE with the world. He believed in the magic of love. MICHAEL JACKSON, will always remain a friend to me who made me believe in the beauty of dreams and that everyone has a gift and that whatever we do in the world, just do it with LOVE.

Personal Calling....

What is a personal calling? it is God's blessing, it is the path that God chose for you here on Earth. Whenever we do something that fills us with enthusiasm, we are following are legend. However, we don't all have the courage to confront our own dream.

why?

There are four obstacles. First: we are told from childhood onward that everything we want to di is impossible. We grow up with this idea, as as the years accumulate, so too do the layers of prejudice, fear, and guilt. there comes a time when our personal calling is so deeply buried in our soul as to be invisible. But its still there.

The second obstacle: love. We know what we want to do, but we are afraid of hurting those around us by abandoning everything in order pursue our dream.

Once we have accepted that love is a stimulus, we come up agains the third obstacle: fear of the defeats we will meet on the path. We who fought for our dream suffer far more when it doesn't work out, because we can't fall back on the old excuse: "Oh, well, I didn't really want it anyway." We do want it and know that we have staked everything in it and that the path of the personal calling is no easier that no other path, except that our whole heart is in this journey.

When we first begin fighting for our dream, we have no experience and make many mistakes, the secret of life, though, is to call seven times and to get up eight times.

The fourth obstacle: the fear of realizing the dream for which we fought all our lives. We look around at all those who have failed to get what they want and feel that we don't deserve to get what we want either. We forget about all the obstacles we overcame, all the suffering we endure, all the things we had to give up in order to get this far.

This is the most dangerous of the obstacles because it has a kind of saintly aura about it: renouncing joy and conquest. But if you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here.
