I found this great picture on a blog called The Clothesline by a wonderful mom called Cathy who found The Pen Guy blog and decided to collect her old pens and send them over when the box is full. The comments are also very encouraging and came on a day when I was feeling down while contemplating the economy and my finances. There are moments in life when in the face of great opposition and difficulty you have to move forward by faith on the vision and destiny you were meant to walk in. The world says one thing but your heart and gut says another. Often times people give up the fight right before the breakthrough comes and never go on to walk in their destiny and see their dreams come true. I heard once that the worlds greatest inventions and ideas are found inside graves, because they were buried there with the people who either gave up too soon, or were too afraid to step out in faith to believe that they had an idea worth pursuing. We are not alone in life and need others to encourage us in the journey but we also need to encourage others in the journey as well. Cathy has done that for me today and I thank her from the bottom of my heart. Giving up on your dreams is not only a trategy for you but for the rest of us who would have benefited in some way from that dream. Think of all the ideas and inventions that make a difference in your life today, now think of life without those same things. So all I can say is dream big and fight a good fight to see those dreams come true. Imagine life without Disney for instance!!!
