<h2 style="text-align: center;">The Bottom Line</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;FACE IT, nobody owes you a living. What you achieve, or fail to achieve in your lifetime is directly related to what you do or fail to do. No one chooses his parent or childhood,  but you can choose your own direction. Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome, but that too is relative to each individual.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>NOTHING IS CARVED IN STONE! </strong><br />
You can change anything in your life if you want to badly enough. Excuses are for losers! Those who take responsibility for their actions are the real winners in life. Winners meet life challenges head on knowing there are no guarantees, and give it all they&#8217;ve got and never think it&#8217;s too late or too early to begin. Time plays no favorites and will pass whether you act or not. Take control of your LIFE. Dare to Dream and take risks&#8230;&#8230; Compete! If you aren&#8217;t willing to work for your goals don’t expect others to.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!&#8221;</strong></p>

<blockquote><p><strong>“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” Harriet Tubman</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-277" href="http://www.anthonybasich.com/inspiration/great-dreams-start-with-a-great-dreamer/attachment/great-dreams-start-with-a-great-dreamer/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-277" title="Great Dreams Start With a Great Dreamer" src="http://www.anthonybasich.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Great-Dreams-Start-With-a-Great-Dreamer.jpg" alt="Great Dreams Start With a Great Dreamer" width="291" height="412" /></a>Stop and think for a moment about all of the great inventions, the greatest musical compositions, the massive revolutions, the great works of art and greatest literary pieces ever written in the world. All of these historical contributions would never have occurred if it wasn’t for great dreams conjured up from the minds of great dreamers.</p>
<p>If it hadn’t been for great dreams, Vivaldi never would have written “The Four Seasons”, Bach “St. Matthew Passion” and Handel “Messiah”. Neither would Michelangelo have created his breathtaking work in the Sistine Chapel.</p>
<p>Leonardo da Vinci never would have sketched the first parachute and helicopter, painted such masterpieces such as “The Last Supper” and “Mona Lisa” or produced some of the first detailed illustrations of physiology of the human body.</p>
<p>And you would have never known how to “Think and Grow Rich” had it not been for the dedicated lifelong work of Napoleon Hill.</p>
<p>These are all examples of people who were great dreamers. They took the thoughts that were created in their own minds and molded them into an amazing reality here on the physical plane.</p>
<p>Every single great accomplishment in this world started out with a vision, a great dream which then led to the particular achievement. It was the individual&#8217;s courage to cultivate their dream that made the difference.</p>
<p>There are times in life when you are told that you can’t do something or that something you are striving for is far impossible to accomplish. The key is to listen to your heart and not the mouths of the little minds out there. As the quote above by Harriet Tubman states, you already have everything you need right inside. You also have the potential to change the world in some way, as each of these examples state.</p>
<p>So what are your great dreams? What great potential do you have inside of you that is just waiting to be born? Is it another great life changing book such as &#8220;Think and Grow Rich&#8221; ? Do you have the potential to create a masterpiece like Michelangelo? Or maybe it is to compose another great classical piece like Vivaldi, Bach or Handel. How about creating many great inventions such as Leonardo da Vinci?</p>
<p>Maybe your dream is just to make a positive difference in this world in your own special way. Whatever it may be I challenge you to dream a great dream and then go out into this world and live it. You may be surprised at what you are capable of accomplishing and may be the next great thing to go down in history.</p>

<h2>The Man Who Thinks He Can</h2>
<p><strong>By Walter D. Wintle</strong></p>
<p>If you think you are beaten, you are,<br />
If you think you dare not, you don&#8217;t,<br />
If you like to win, but think you can&#8217;t,<br />
It&#8217;s almost certain you won&#8217;t.</p>
<p>If you think you&#8217;ll lose, you&#8217;re lost,<br />
For out of the world we find,<br />
Success begins with a person&#8217;s will-<br />
It&#8217;s all in a state of mind.</p>
<p>If you think you are outclassed, you are,<br />
You&#8217;ve got to think high to rise.<br />
You&#8217;ve got to be sure of yourself before<br />
You can ever win a prize.</p>
<p>Life&#8217;s battles don&#8217;t always go<br />
To the stronger or faster man<br />
But sooner or later the man who wins<br />
Is the man who thinks he can!</p>
<p>I remember the first time I read this poem; it was truly awe inspiring! For some reason this piece of work had a great impact on me and has stuck with me ever since. I read it over and over until I had it completely memorized and could recite it on the spot. That was over a decade ago and it is still crystal clear in my mind to this day.</p>
<p>This inspiring composition is a reminder of the amazing power of belief. Everything that you do or do not do is the result of your belief that you can or can&#8217;t. If you think that you can accomplish something and truly believe this to be true than that is the reality that you create. Your reality is what ever you choose it to be.</p>
<p>My message to you is to believe in yourself. Truly love yourself and believe that you can do anything in life, no matter how big or challenging it may be. With faith nothing is impossible; I am a testament to this statement and I wish the same for you. Believe!</p>
