People, Places, Things, and Situations

By Donald Daigle

We all have dreams in our lives. To some of us, they may seem so far away, and yet they are within our grasp if we move forward with a positive attitude and hard work. We need to leave our comfort zone as we look to the future of our lives. In a kind of creation that is made for each of us. If we give in to negativity, the path we take along the way of life will be void of success. Your dream may be in plain sight. You need only realize what is meant to be. All of your hopes and dreams are waiting in the shadows, still to see the light of day.

I have always been inspired by people, places, things, and situations. Inspiration comes in many forms. We need to find inspiration that fits our needs in thought and deed. We should always move forward in our daily lives and deal with the task at hand.

At times, we need laughter in our lives. This is a given. Yet there comes a time to be profound to some degree as life is always interesting. May all that are reading my words never give up on his or her dreams. We all have goals in our lives. Never give in to negativity. We all have the power within us as we move forward with each new dream in each new day with the start of dawn into the last of the sun's rays. Whatever you dream, go for it.

Personal Quotations

Emotional comfort of the mind is as essential as physical relaxation.

At times, I compare life with the weather. We never know what controls our priorities.

Life is shorter than we know. To store a piece of our past somewhere in the thoughts of an appreciative mind would be an act of love.

All too often, we are caught up in our daily trials and tribulations. We fail to see the beauty of those around us. Not that of outward beauty but that beauty within us, awaiting its release.

The soul is the mirror within us. If you hold true values within yourself, then they will be reflected to those around you.

At times, we need to do as children do and share the joy of play.

Like the clouds that touch to form as one, we need to share our thoughts with each other.

Life is like a speeding locomotive; it passes quickly.

We are much the same as a fallen leaf. When one of us is gone, we are replaced by another.

If you send your dreams to the stars of God's galaxy, you will open the door to heaven.

If you help those in need with a simple act of kindness, you will always hold a special place within their memory.

We long to hold on to our youth through the years. It's not so hard to do. All we need is children to show us how it's done.

If you turn your words into thoughts and set them free, they will touch the hearts of all who need them.

The mind is like a treasure chest, a place to store the most precious of our memories.

Great things take time, and time holds great things.

Only time holds the answers to the questions of the future.

To be ourselves is the best way to make friends. And honesty is the best way to be ourselves.

Accept the physical part of me to you and share my strength of body. Accept the emotional part of me to you and share my strength of mind. Accept these two parts as one, and you will always have a friend in me.

You are like that special rose who is waiting to be placed in the heart of someone who needs all that the bouquet of life has to offer.

The Pages of Your Life

Your life is much the same as that book that has been discovered now, though only to be lost in some lost corner of a dusty room. Pick it up now and hold it close to your heart. And feel the wind now from an open window, as gentle as a new day now dawning in the first of summer's days. Take them now, your thoughts and all their beginnings, and set them free with the wind. Close the chapters of your past and read your future now, in the pages of your life.

Now is the time to start, in precious harmony, to take all that is within your heart and send the kindness that you never thought existed in the seasons of your life.

Send your kindness in your caring ways that you hold within to someone who has been waiting for far too long now, and do not hesitate in your days, never ending now.

In time and only in time will you realize the greatest of all of those chapters in your life, now waiting to be read by someone special who was always there for you and waiting still
