American Dreams and Talent

Greetings Friends:

Do you still believe in American dreams? I do.

I'll bet the millions of voters watching AMERICA'S GOT TALENT last night also have gained a renewed hope in the American dream.

Where else could an unemployed chicken-catcher from Kentucky become the winner of a million dollars and a Las Vegas showcase?

Granted, the 35-year-old was blessed big time with a soothing serenade and some killer country vocal chords. More important than that, he had the stamina, perseverence and fortitude to keep believing and to push through all sorts of barriers to finally see his dream come true. And that, my friend, is the secret to success.

In these difficult times, the most important thing any of us can do is to keep on dreaming and to never stop believing.

When push comes to shove we may have to let go of some of the tangible things. We may have to do without some of the things we take forgranted. We may even be catapulted out of our comfort zones. But the intangibles--the faith and hope and determination needed to see our dreams through--those things we must cling to. We must keep them as close as possible.

The best random act I can see doing today is to spread a little hope. Encourage yourself or someone you know to hang tight to dreams. Remind yourself and others that miracles really do happen and America does have talent. Whatever your talent may be, tap into it now, use it wisely and never ever let go of your dreams.

Dream Big,
Cindi (aka POETIC JUSTICE)
