The Dream Catcher

Today I was riding in a friend's car, she likes listening to some of the oldie's, country music and that old time rock and roll music. She stuck a DVD in the player and the song, "Wind Beneath my Wings", started to play. I love the song, but I have certain triggers that change my state of mind.

I started to remember the when's, and my mind started to flood with memories of a past where disaster struck. I felt numb, I wanted to push the eject button on her player but couldn't. The mask I wear at times came off, and my eyes got filled with tears.

Many years ago this person was around when I had given up, she realized what was happening, just told me, "Michael you have to let go". No, she did not hit the eject button.

This wonderful person had given me a poem back then, that I need to read at times. I would like to share it with you now.

Always Have A Dream

Forget about the days when it's been cloudy,

But don't forget your hour's in the sun.

Forget about the times you've been defeated,

But don't forget the victories you've won...

Forget about mistakes you can't change now,

But don't the lessons you've learned...

Forget about misfortunes you've encountered,

But don't forget the times your luck has turned...

Forget about the days when you've been lonely,

But don't forget the friendly smiles you have seen...

Forget about the plans that didn't seem to work out right,

But don't forget to always have a dream.

Since joining WA there are times I have felt like giving up, that is not an option anymore for me. I have met too many wonderful people here. I have found a certain purpose to my life. Learn, challenge be determined, and never give up on my dream's of success. I know they will become real one day.

There are certain things that I can't rush, those things are all the lessons, the training tutorials. It has almost been a year now, I have finished the five levels, and am half way through the boot camp.

I just need help every once in a while and I know it is here, all I have to do is ask.

Thank you my WA family, I owe you big time.

Your friend,

Michael

Thank you Michael for posting this.
It is a thought provoking poem.
I went to Youtube to listen to Bette Midler singing Wind Beneath my Wings. A beautiful song.
"Michael you have to let go" & you have, just remembering the words the wonderful person gave you & to move on. I have been through difficult times also, & now adopt my own saying. " I don't look back at the things I can not change".
The wonderful WA Family is here to support you.

Denis

Thank you Denis for the great words. I do practice the serenity prayer which is similar to your saying. There are those things though... WA is a great place to be for all kinds of support.

All the best,
Michael

We all have triggers that can affect us in various ways Michael. Your poem is certainly one to think about when you are down for any reason.

Derek

Hi Derek,
Wish I could take credit for the poem, someone else wrote it. I just wanted to pass it along.

Michael

A wonderful poem from a wonderful friend Michael. There will always be 'triggers', they never go away, it's our ability to accept them and keep on going that matters and you're doing just that.

Thank you Twack, you too are a wonderful friend.

Michael

Always welcome Michael, always welcome and it's mutual.

Beautiful poem Michael, I will never give up on my dream either, I have been dreaming long time ago on becoming an Internet Marketer, but the road for learning on my part is very rough.

I am just having the hardest time putting things to gather.

However, Community, please don't laugh! but I spent half a day writing content for a website I wanted to comment on, I was doing good, and about to finish up, and post; then the unthinkable happen. You see.....

I have one of these mouse I am not use to that have two button at the right of my thumb, didn't I accidentally touched the thing backwork, never save my work, and it deleted all that I wrote, I tried to recover it with no avail. Am I mad? yes I am. BUT I REALIZED I AM BEING TESTED, so you see I refuse to give up on my dream, no matter how much hurdle I have to cross.

So thanks Michael for your poem, and to our community here at WA. I don't start rewriting it yet, but I will. This is one program I intend to work until success come my way.

God's blessing

Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

New beginnings sometimes are always hard. Rest assured things will get easier with time.

Sorry to hear you lost your material for your post. I worry about this as I too have lost a few articles along the way. In most cases there is an auto save, but I keep saving after each paragraph.

I gain a lot of inspiration from you Elizabeth, and I thank you for your comments.

Best wishes,
Michael

Just plain Lovely.

Mike
