Release the child within you&lt;br /&gt;

Accept compliments.&lt;br /&gt;
dance barefoot.&lt;br /&gt;
Plan to fulfill a secret wish.&lt;br /&gt;
Laugh at yourself.&lt;br /&gt;

remember you are loved.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;There is no difficulty that enough&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;love will not conquer; No disease&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;that enough love will not heal; No&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;door that enough love will not open;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;No gulf that enough love will not&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;bridge; No wall that enough love will&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;not throw down; No sin that&amp;nbsp;enough&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;love will not redeem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

by believing&lt;br /&gt;
in your heart&lt;br /&gt;
that what is right&lt;br /&gt;
has chance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faith is knowing&lt;br /&gt;
in your heart&lt;br /&gt;
that good can&lt;br /&gt;
overcome evil,&lt;br /&gt;
that the sun can shine&lt;br /&gt;
in a rainstorm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faith is peaceful&lt;br /&gt;
and comforting,&lt;br /&gt;
because it&lt;br /&gt;
comes from within&lt;br /&gt;
where no one&lt;br /&gt;
can invade&lt;br /&gt;
your private dreams.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faith is not something&lt;br /&gt;
you can demand&lt;br /&gt;
or command;&lt;br /&gt;
it is a result of&lt;br /&gt;
commitment to belief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faith is believing&lt;br /&gt;
in something&lt;br /&gt;
you can't see or hear,&lt;br /&gt;
something deep inside&lt;br /&gt;
that only you understand&lt;br /&gt;
and only you control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faith is trusting&lt;br /&gt;
in yourself&lt;br /&gt;
enough to know&lt;br /&gt;
that no matter&lt;br /&gt;
how things turn out,&lt;br /&gt;
you will make&lt;br /&gt;
the best of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Plant yourself deep in a bed of faith, and pack it down solid and tight. Drench daily with positive thinking, and keep saturated just right. Mulch often wirh forgiveness, for this will help you grow.&lt;br /&gt;
Quickly remove any seeds of worry, for they will soon germinate, and keep out the weeds of despair. Nourish disappointments with hope whenever it is needed, and always stay cool and shaded when you feel irritated or heated. Trim away guilt or depression, for they create decay, and cultivate with happy memories as pften as every day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2:&lt;br /&gt;
Harvest the lessons of the past; just dig, pick, and hoe. And nurture the roots of the present, for now is when you flourish and grow. Start planting for the future; set your goals in a row. Spade the bed well for all your dreams to grow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 3:&lt;br /&gt;
Remember the grief is a natural predator, so learn to tolerate some damage. Protect your garden with daily prayers, for this will help you manage. bury the criticism and complaining, for they are injurious pests.&lt;br /&gt;
Sow the seed of love wherever you may go - for joy, love, and laughter are surely bound to grow. Although the thorns of life may be here to stay, just sprout a smile along the way... and be thankful for what you have today!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; the joy we want.&lt;br /&gt;
We don't always get our hopes&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and dreams,&lt;br /&gt;
and we don't always get&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; our own way.&lt;br /&gt;
But don'tgive up hope,&lt;br /&gt;
because you make a difference&lt;br /&gt;
one situation and one person&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; at a time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look for the beauty around you -&lt;br /&gt;
in nature, in others, in yourself -&lt;br /&gt;
and believe in the love&lt;br /&gt;
of friends, family, and humankind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can find love in a smile&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; or a helping hand,&lt;br /&gt;
in a thoughtful gesture&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; or kind word.&lt;br /&gt;
It is all around, if you&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; just look for it.&amp;nbsp; Give love,&lt;br /&gt;
for in giving it&lt;br /&gt;
you will find the power in life&lt;br /&gt;
along with the joy, happiness,&lt;br /&gt;
patience, and understanding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Believe in the goodness of others&lt;br /&gt;
and remember&amp;nbsp; that anger&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and depression&lt;br /&gt;
can be countered by love and hope.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even when you feel as though&lt;br /&gt;
there isn't a lot you can do&lt;br /&gt;
to change unhappiness or problems,&lt;br /&gt;
you can always do a little -&lt;br /&gt;
and little at a time&lt;br /&gt;
eventually make a big difference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; what it takes&lt;br /&gt;
to make your dream&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; into a reality.&lt;br /&gt;
Keep thinking positive thoughts,&lt;br /&gt;
and know that you have the ability&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; to do anything.&lt;br /&gt;
Find the encouragement&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; inside yourself&lt;br /&gt;
to know that you're worthwhile&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and distinct -&lt;br /&gt;
someone who deserves&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; the very best there is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep on trying.&lt;br /&gt;
Accept those things that you must,&lt;br /&gt;
change the things that are the worst,&lt;br /&gt;
and learn to find security and peace&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; within your heart, your strength,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and your self-assurance.&lt;br /&gt;
Keep on being the person&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; that you are -&lt;br /&gt;
the one who gives those around you&lt;br /&gt;
such a feeling of reassurance and hope.&lt;br /&gt;
Keep on believing, because you deserve&lt;br /&gt;
the joy, peace, faith, hope, and love&lt;br /&gt;
that you're seeking.&lt;br /&gt;
You deserve every fulfillment&lt;br /&gt;
and satisfaction in everything you try.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don't leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your "worry hours" into "productive hours." Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you adopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; holds in store...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Try to keep a positive attitude attitude by looking&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; for the little blessings that happen&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; every day yet often go unnoticed.&lt;br /&gt;
Keep your mind open to humorous situations,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; because humor can rescue you&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; from being overwhelmed.&lt;br /&gt;
And never forget that there are people&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; who love and care about you;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; people who want to help and support you&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; through life's difficult times;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; people who think you're pretty special;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; people who care a whole lot about you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

What is most Important is dealing with the hard times, coping with the changes, and getting through to the other side where the sun is still shining just for you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It takes a strong person to deal with tough times and difficult choices. but you are a strong person. It takes courage. but you possess the inner courage to see you through. It takes being an active participant in your life. but you are in the driver's seat, and you can determine the direction you want tomorrow to go in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hang in there.... and take care to see that you don't lose sight of the one thing that is constant, beautiful, and true. Everything will be fine - and it will turn out that way because of the special kind of person you are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So.... beginning today and lasting a lifetime though - Hang in there, and don't be afraid to feel like the morning sun is shining... just for you.&lt;br /&gt;

Accept what you must, and change what you can.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Think before you act. A moment of carelesness or anger can cause years of anguish and regret.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Look for the beauty in life, in people, in nature, and in youreself.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Appreciate what you have: the people, the opportunities, the material possessions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make the effort to have fun.: it's a great way to bond with others, and it makes some of the best memories.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Set aside some time for yourself. Do someting you enjoy without feeling even a little guilty.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Accept others without judgment. Everyone is unique, and it's okay to be different.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Forgive. Bitterness and resentment hurt you more than the person you direct them at.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learn. Open you mind to new ideas and activities, and don't be afraid to try.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dream. Make plans, believe in yourself, and go for what you want.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp; there is someone who will&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; understand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HONESTY... the feeling that you&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp; never need to hold back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PEACE... in being accepted for&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp; who you really are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BEAUTY... in outlook&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; more than appearance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FREEDOM... to be yourself,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; to change, and to grow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
JOY... in every day, in every memory,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; and in your hopes for&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; the futere.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
May you find warmth in others, expressions of love and kindness, smile that encourage you, and friends who are loyal and honest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May you realize the importance of patience and accept others for what they are. With understanding and love, you’ll find the good in every heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May you have faith in others and the ability to be vulnerable. Open your heart and really share the miracle of love and intimacy.&lt;br /&gt;

Above all, may you always have positive thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;
