You can do it!

* Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. Helen Keller
* Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
Proverbs 13:12 (NIV)
* Helen Keller tells us we have to believe positively in what we are doing or we will not reach the goals we have before us. The Proverb tells us that if we do not reach our hopes we become sick; however, we are energized and full of life as hopes and goals are realized. We all face challenges and we all come up short at times. The successful effort, for each of us, comes in getting up and faithing again. I have to re-evaluate my hopes/goals at times and make different plans. I know the new plan may delay reaching the goal. But if I take a hint from the Proverb I will, at times, focus on mini-goals that lead to the end/ultimate goal. Why? because longings, hopes, and goals that are reached provide me and you with the energy, optimism, faith, hope, and confidence to get things done!
Grace and Peace.
