A dream is a raging fire! Like an ember it starts with a thought! If fueled with emotion it creates determination! Determination is followed by ACTION! Like most kids, David was six when he started school. His dream was to read and write. But what followed was a 12 year struggle to achieve. He found the words in books hard to understand and "jumbled up." He could not write his name properly until the 5th grade. His mother Jean, recognized the difficulty early on. Each day after school she would sit with David to review his assignments and help improve his reading comprehension. This was a milestone in his life. One that would take hold, and cause him to grow in strength and determination. In eighth grade, he was placed in an English class for students with special needs. In the Summer of 1978, David used savings from his paper route to attend Summer school for English and reading skills. He excelled. Determination was beginning to show. That same year he entered high school. The high school placed him in a special needs English class. David objected. In his hand and heart were 3 months of hard work with credentials. A big sacrifice for any 14 year old! Today, David is an actor, singer, writer, director and producer. He is also an artist and an aspiring life coach. His motto? "A person has no choice but to move forward. If you encounter an obstacle, kick it over and keep going!" He thanks God, his mother Jean & his 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Handy for instilling in him "A determination that does not fade." David lives in Michigan with his wife Cindy and their two boys, Spence and Duke

Give to yourself!
Give to yourself! I know that may sound selfish, but there is much confusion in the world about giving and receiving. The Bible says "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35. This Scripture is true and we need to follow it. But a person needs to give to themselves as well. For instance, when we eat right and exercise we are actually giving ourselves the benefit of good health. Going to school gives us guidance and wisdom to better our lives and the lives of others. But we must be cautious how we give to ourselves.

What are you sacrificing your dream...for?
In order to gain something we must first let go of something. This is a law of life. To lose weight for example, we must first let go of what is making us fat or out of shape. To be debt free we must cut back on the things that put us into debt in the first place. We must change our ways. All of us have dreams that we would like to see come true. But what are we willing to sacrifice to make them a reality? Let us first find out what a sacrifice is.

Is your life significant or important?
Significance and Importance. The words resonate with meaning. Yet each one has a very different connotation when it comes to human relationships. Significance is defined as representing someone or the expression of what one is. For example, on the day you were born you had NOTHING but a birthday suit, yet EVERYTHING you needed to equip you for life. Your birth signified a new life. A symbol of something wonderous and grand. This signifcance continues throughout your life.

Variety!
Variety is the spice of life! I am sure that most of you have heard this idiom before. Did you know that it can lower blood pressure, enhance memory retention and add years to a person's life? The word variety is a noun. It means, "the state of being diversified or varied." We are the state of being. Each day we are in a state. A state of mind, body and spirit. Our lives need variety to remain healthy. For example, say that every morning for breakfast you have cream of wheat or oatmeal. At lunch its a ham sandwich and an apple.

The conscious and the subconscious.
The conscious and the subconscious mind. What are they and why do we have them? The word conscious by definition is the awareness of one's own environment,sensations and thoughts. But what is the subconscious? It is the store house of our lives. It is the part of the mind that files our fears,habits, experiences and the thoughts of our past. It also is the bedrock of our beliefs and convictions. Our conscious mind is constantly fed messages from the world around us through our six senses. Sight,sound,taste,touch,smell and intuitive or our ability to discern.

Fear does not have to be frightening!
There are as many fears as there are people in the world. Fear of flying, fear of driving, fear of dogs, fear of cats and even a fear of styrofoam! Fear is an emotion which discourages, hinders or stops us from living victorious lives! That is it's only purpose. Every fear wears a mask. It does not want us to see its true face. If we did, then it would cease to exist! Please do not confuse fear with common sense. Common sense is attained through our lives by trial and error. It acts like a safety trigger on a gun to protect us from harm. What I am talking about is fear of the unknown.

"Did you get MY message?"
Messages are being sent all the time. By emails, cell phone texts, faxes,letters and postcards from people who care about us. When we do not reply, we receive a second message. Each of us wants to be acknowleged. We receive messages everyday. Anyone that has visited Manhatten knows, one of the things that a person needs to be aware of is the crosswalks. Taxi drivers are constantly using their car horns to warn people they are approaching. The pedestrian signs flash a message whether or not it is safe to cross.

Who are You?
Who am I? Have you ever asked that? Its a good question and the answers change as we change. "You are who you are...even before you know...who you are." When we are born, we have certain genes,personality traits and emotional ranges from our parents. As we grow older, these "gifts" grow as our relationships and environment grows. Our talents begin to show as well. For example: A child has an affinity toward drawing. If pursued and nutured by the parents,teachers and professors this talent can grow into a career filled with promise. Why am I writing this?
