Sunday Inspiration …
This is from an old Dear Abby column, in which a young 14-year-old, requests Abby to reprint this poem by Wanda Carter. Ms. Carter wrote this poem during some difficult times in her life and it has gone on to inspire others.
To Achieve Your Dreams, Remember Your ABC’s
Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits.
Believe in yourself.
Consider things from every angle.
Don’t give up, and don’t give in.
Enjoy life today; yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may never come.
Family and friends are hidden treasures. Seek them and enjoy their riches.
Give more than you planned to give.
Hang on to your dreams.
Ignore those who try to discourage you.
Just do it!
Keep on trying. No matter how hard it seems, it will get easier.
Love yourself first and most.
Make it happen.
Never lie, cheat or steal. Always strike a fair deal.
Open your eyes, and see things as they really are.
Practice makes perfect.
Quitters never win, and winners never quit.
Read, study and learn about everything important in your life.
Stop procrastinating.
Take control of your own destiny.
Understand yourself in order to better understand others.
Visualize it.
Want it more than anything.
Xccelerate your efforts.
You are unique of all of God’s creations. Nothing can replace you.
Zero in on your target and go for it!
What an inspirational use of the alphabet …
Have a terrific day!

“Ignore those who try to discourage you.” This is good advice, there exists way to much negativity in this world.
Thanks for commenting … happycolour … I appreciate it!
And I totally agree with you - there is definitely to much negativity in this world.
It’s taken me a long time to acquire the skill of ignoring the negative people in my life (especially because so many of them are in my extended family).
It sure makes for a more joyous and peaceful day since I have though!
