“In each tear, there’s a lesson. Makes you wiser than before. Makes you stronger than you know. And each tear brings you closer to your dreams. No mistake, no heartbreak can take away what you’re meant to be….”

“Each Tear,” by Mary J. Blige

from the CD “Stronger with Each Tear”

Re-inventing yourself can be scary. But you need to identify what it is that excites you so much that you can’t wait to jump out of bed in the morning. That is a good indication of where your passion lies, and helps to focus your energy and creativity to staying “on purpose.”

It’s never easy reaching for your dreams. It’s NEVER easy! 46 years ago, I had what seemed like a pipe dream. Better yet, it was an impossible dream. And yet, today I am living my dream! I have learned that living life successfully requires great risk, courage and passion. So have the courage to follow your heart. Your heart will never lead you in the wrong direction–because it is through your heart that God speaks to you. You WILL find YOUR dream in that place where your heart meets your mind and your soul.
