Follow Your Dream And Don't Quit   email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (12221)   ranked 239 out of 32,948 in life 5 years ago

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!!

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....

And getting them for 99 cents just tops it all off!


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (12221)   ranked 239 out of 32,948 in life  5 years ago

Yes, I feel in love with those two sayings the moment I saw them..and yes, just think I got them in a 99 cent store!!

I just did a thing over at photoshop with both Follow Your Dream and the Don't Quit one...I plan to print this out and hang it up

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!


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (12221)   ranked 239 out of 32,948 in life  5 years ago

Glad you like them craftcatcher...yes, a great way to start the day with my coffee mugs..

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.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (12221)   ranked 239 out of 32,948 in life  5 years ago

I just did a little thing with Photoshop with these two poems/sayings...I plan to print them up and hang them all over the place..Yes the two are so motivational

Here's the Don't Quit one in the photo

The color scheme kind of gives a person the sense of the mood that must have been written in.


myLot reputation of 97/100. BarBaraPrz (6653)  5 years ago

Actually, "Don't Quit" has been attributed to Quinton Howell...


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20751)   ranked 375 out of 32,948 in life  5 years ago

Really? I guess the two sites I checked, lied to me then. Shame on them! LOL

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

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 :)


myLot reputation of 97/100. BarBaraPrz (6653)  5 years ago

Do you mean, Footprints in the Sand? That was written by Mary Stevensen.


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (12221)   ranked 239 out of 32,948 in life  5 years ago

Yup--that's the one I mean..Footprints in The Sand...thanks there..didn't know the person who wrote it

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.:)


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (12221)   ranked 239 out of 32,948 in life  5 years ago

ALAS..I wish that store had sold more...I would have gotten a truckload of them and used them as gifts for people

Those quotes wear really nice. I love them. They stir my spirit. I love reading quote such as these because they are inspiring. Thanks for sharing them with us. Author is anonymous anyway. Yu know what, the best poetries have anonymous authors.


myLot reputation of 97/100. BarBaraPrz (6653)  5 years ago

No, people just fail to attribute the proper credits...


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (12221)   ranked 239 out of 32,948 in life  5 years ago

Yes it's a shame that a lot of inspiring sayings are anonymous--like Rainbow Bridge

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.


myLot reputation of 97/100. BarBaraPrz (6653)  5 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.)


myLot reputation of 98/100. pyewacket (12221)   ranked 239 out of 32,948 in life  5 years ago

I plan to print up those two sayings myself--yup putting them on the fridge would be a great idea!
