Follow Your Dream And Don't Quit  |
|
 Some time ago I got two coffee mugs in my 99 cent store, that had what I think are beautiful sayings on them.. This is one of them and I like to share it with you:
FOLLOW YOUR DREAM
..." Follow your dream wherever it leads
Don't be distracted by less worthy needs
Shelter it, nourish it, help it to grow
Let your heart hold it down deep where dreams go.
Follow your dream, pursue it with haste;
Life is too precious, too fleeing to waste...
Be faithful, by loyal, then all your life through
the dream that you follow will keep coming true..."
Here is the saying on the other mug, called Don't Quit
DON'T QUIT:
"...When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don't quit.
Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit...
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit!..."
I haven't a clue who wrote these wonderful words, but I just love them. If anyone knows who wrote these two poems I'd love to know!!

1.  lilaclady (19132) | 2 years ago |  I firmly believe in the Following your dream because they do come true, I know that for sure, however impossible you think may be they can come true if you think positive enough, they are very nice verses on the mugs, very nice and very true....

2.  craftcatcher (2276) | 2 years ago |  What great poems to contemplate with your morning coffee! Great thoughts to start the day out on a positive, forward moving note.
I don't know who wrote them, they almost look like lyrics from a song.
Thanks for posting them Pyewacket!

| 3. AmbiePam (13624) | 2 years ago | I hadn't heard Follow Your Dream. It reminds me to forget about being in a kind of limbo with disability. I can and need to progress anyway. As for "Don't Quit", which I think should be posted in every high school in the country, its author is unknown. Whoever wrote it should have claimed it, because it is very motivational. | |

| AmbiePam (13624) | 2 years ago | The color scheme kind of gives a person the sense of the mood that must have been written in. | |
|
|
| BarBaraPrz (2689) | 2 years ago |  Actually, "Don't Quit" has been attributed to Quinton Howell...
| |
|
|
| AmbiePam (13624) | 2 years ago | Really? I guess the two sites I checked, lied to me then. Shame on them! LOL | |

| 4. Perspectives (2265) | 2 years ago |  Another odd parallel...I have both these poems in my office...and they authors are not listed either. It is great that you put them out there for others to read...they have always been an inspiration to me...and it would be great to have them on coffee cups. I agree with Craftcatcher...what a great way to put a positive start to the day. You sure are keeping on with your 'raising the frequency and turning up the volume' on your dream power. Keep up the great work and continued good luck in all your new ventures.
Best regards,
Raia

| pyewacket (10670) | 2 years ago | I sure wish I knew who wrote them...why is it some of the best sayings are anonymous...like Rainbow Bridge, and that wonderful poem Footsteps?
Yes they are a great way to start the day, while sipping on my coffee:) | |

| BarBaraPrz (2689) | 2 years ago | Do you mean, Footprints in the Sand? That was written by Mary Stevensen.
| |
|
|
| pyewacket (10670) | 2 years ago | Yup--that's the one I mean..Footprints in The Sand...thanks there..didn't know the person who wrote it | |

| 5. someonesmom (2274) | 2 years ago |  Hi pyewacket,
These are both so beautiful, and inspirational. Thanks so much for sharing them here. I especially needed to read the two of them, as I'm seeking 'to turn a corner in my life,' before the year is up. If I came across these mugs, I'd definitely want to own them.:)

| 10. MisterPlus (969) | 2 years ago |  To have wonderful poem for 99 cents has something to say for the rest of your life. Repose, don't quit. I am in a state of depression and this poem made me realize how precious is to waste it and stop dreaming. My only dream now is for my family none to myself.
| |
| |
|
|
| BarBaraPrz (2689) | 2 years ago | Yes, I have Don't Quit posted on my refrigerator and do read it when I'm feeling about ready to quit. (I get depressed, too.)
| |
|
|
| pyewacket (10670) | 2 years ago | I plan to print up those two sayings myself--yup putting them on the fridge would be a great idea! | |
