"If at first you don't succeed........"
We've all heard the familiar phrase and some of us may use it often. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Among many quotes by various authors, I often think of this one as well. Most of us have heard it often (maybe too often) but how many of us have actually stopped to think about it?
I want to encourage all of you out there who are trying really hard at something (whatever it may be). Give it your best and don't give up! Things are going to be difficult, however, if you really want to succed at "that one thing" that's important to you......keep at it!
Example - ***** My first article is being published!!!!!!*****
You may see those fruits of your labor early on in your journey, or you may have to wait. You know what they say, the best things in life are worth waiting for. How true that is.
Enjoy your journey,
Wish and dream,
Danielle

"Anything that I've ever done that was ultimately worthwhile, intially scared me to death."
-Betty Bender
How true this statement is!!!! I recently "bit the bullet" and applied for a freelance writing position - and a few days later, landed the job!! Now I am currently writing nonfiction articles online and getting published to write about what I know best - Education topics. So even though I'm not in the classroom, I get a chance to get my ideas and advice out there!! It a small start on the way to my ultimate goal!!
Living the dream,
Danielle

Keep Moving
"No one can make you feel inferior without you consent." -Eleanor Roosevelt
What an awesome quote. There are many people who choose to feel inferior to others; maybe because of something that someone said to them. Or maybe they feel that way for lack of self confidence. Some feel inferior just because they choose too. One of my elementary school teachers (years ago) taught me to set my own goals and dreams and do everything I can to reach them. Sure you may feel inferior along the way, but will you choose to keep feeling that way, or will you be determined enough to keep setting those goals and fulfilling those dreams?
The only one making you feel inferior is you.

"Success is not measured by how much you dream. It is measured by how much you are willing to do and actually do to get it." - Danielle Poorman
I was recently faced with the challenge of setting my own goals and dreams. Well I have wanted to teach children since I was a little girl. That goal was completed in 2005 and finished in 2010. Maybe I'll pick it up again someday. :) Now I get to accomplish another goal with it being a stay at home mom. Well, like I said I was faced with setting goals. Every day we are faced with challenges to accomplished every day goals. Sometimes those goals are finishing a To-Do-List, for others it's just to get through the day in one piece. Yes, we all have short term goals. But listen, what about your personal long term goals and dreams? Have you ever stopped to think about them?
As a teacher I always had the opportunity and the privilege to help parents think about the goals and dreams they wanted for the children, and not necessarily on an academic basis either.
We all want something out of life. Too many people float through life just doing the same old same old. Do you goals and dreams? I do. My long term goal is to be debt-free ( we all want that don't we), see my children grow up and accomplish their dreams and goals, and become a published writer so that I can help children and parents world wide outside the classroom. I don't wish for my influence to stop. I am glad I was able to share this with you. Enjoy the things life brings you. Life is too short to waste time. What are your dreams and goals? What you doing to accomplish them?
