YOU ONLY GET TO KEEP WHAT YOU GIVE AWAY
------------------------------------------------------------

It's a universal law: You have to give before you get.
You must plant your seeds before you reap the harvest.
The more you sow, the more you will reap.
In giving to others, you will find yourself blessed.

The law works to give you back more than you have sown.
Those that obtain have little.
Those who scatter have much.
The giver's harvest is always full.

Nature does not give to those who will not spend.
This is the time of year to show appreciation to those you love.

Good morning my friends. I received this from a dear friend of mine and thought it to be not only very appropriate for this day but a beautiful and great tribute to all those that fell that dreadful day.
To those that fell and to the families of those I salute and pray for.
GOD BLESS AMERICA and LET US NEVER FORGET!!
I only wish we had the capability of pictures and sound for this one!

Subject: Sufficient Unto the Day

Sufficient Unto the Day

Two thousand one, nine eleven,
Three thousand plus arrive in heaven.
As they pass through the gate,
Thousands more appear in wait.
A bearded man, with a stovepipe hat,
Steps forward saying, "Let's sit . . .let's chat."

They settle down in seats of clouds.
A man, named Martin, shouts out proud,
"I have a dream!" and once he did.
A Newcomer said, "Your dream still lives."

Groups of soldiers in blue and gray
Others in khaki, and green then say,
"We're from Bull Run, Yorktown, the Maine."
The Newcomer said, "You died not in vain."

From a man on sticks one could hear,
"The only thing we have to fear…
The Newcomer said, "We know the rest.
Trust us, sir; we have passed the test.

Courage doesn't hide in caves,
and you can't bury freedom in a grave."
The Newcomers had heard this voice before,
A distinct Yankees twang from Hyannisport shores.

A silence fell within the mist.
Somehow, the Newcomer knew that this
Meant 'time had come' for her to say
What was in the hearts of the five thousand plus that day.

"Back on Earth, we wrote reports,
Watched our children play in sports,
Worked our gardens, sang our songs,
Went to church and clipped coupons.
We smiled, we laughed, we cried, we fought.
Unlike you, great we're not."

The tall man, in the stovepipe hat,
Stood and said, "Don't talk like that!
Look at your country, look and see.
You died for freedom, just like me."

Then, before them all appeared a scene
Of rubbled streets and twisted beams.
Death, destruction, smoke and dust
And people working not just 'cause they must.

Hauling ash, lifting stones;
Knee deep in hell, but not alone.
Look, black man, white man, brown man, yellow man
Side by side helping their fellow man!"

"So," said Martin, as he watched the scene,
"Even from nightmares can be born a dream."

Down below, three firefighters raised
Our country’s colors high into an ashen haze.
The soldiers above had seen it before,
On back Iwo Jima in '45

The man on sticks studied everything closely
Then shared his perceptions on what he saw mostly.
"I see pain, I see tears,
I see sorrow -- but I don't see fear.

You left behind husbands and wives,
Daughters and sons; and so many lives
Are suffering now because of this wrong.
But, look very closely. You're not really gone.

All of those people, even those who've never met you,
All of their lives, they'll never forget you.
Don't you see what has happened?
Don't you see what you've done?
You've brought them together, together as one."

With that, the man, in the stovepipe hat ,said,
"Take my hand," and from there he led
Three thousand plus heroes, all Newcomers to heaven;
On this day, two thousand one, nine eleven.

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ARE DREAMERS
------------------------------------------------------------
Your dreams are your vision of where you'll be after the battle your prize at the end of your journey to success.
Your goals are the steps you take to finally attain your prize.

Unless you're willing to work hard
And establish some discipline in your life all of your dreams will be pipe dreams little mental fantasy trips that will never materialize.

Make concrete steps toward fulfilling your ultimate dream and start with solid objectives and goals.
Your dreams are where you want to go your goals are how you get there.

The indispensable first step
To getting the things you want out of life is this:
Decide what you want.

Don't be afraid to think big and dare to be great.
Dreamers are not content with mediocrity.
They never dream of going halfway.

People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.

STAY REALISTIC ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS

------------------------------------------------------

 The truth is what it is.
 It's neither good nor bad. It's simple reality.
 Tailor your concepts to fit reality,
 instead of trying to stuff reality into your concepts.
 No matter what you believe, it won't change the facts.

 If we all worked on the assumption
 that what is accepted as true is really true,
 there would be little hope of advancement in the world.

 Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
 If fifty million people say a foolish thing, it's still a foolish thing.

 Successful people are realistic
 and aren't trapped by false appearances.
 See the world as it is.

LIFE RESPONDS TO YOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------------------------------------


Life is largely a matter of expectation.
You must expect to succeed,
If you want to succeed.

When you expect things to happen,
Strangely enough, they do happen.
Expectation energizes your goals
And give them momentum.

When you believe something good can happen, it will happen.
The dreams you believe in come to be.

Set your goals high.
If you begin with some wild expectations
You'll succeed beyond your wildest expectations.

IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO CHANGE
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The first step toward getting somewhere
Is to decide that you're not going to stay where you are.

You're a product of your environment.
So choose an environment that will best develop you toward your goals.

Analyze your life in terms of your environment.
Are the things around you helping you toward your success
Or are they holding you back?

Your world today is a living expression
Of how you are using and have used your mind.
It's something that you can change at any time.

You don't have to remain a captive of your environment.
Don't say "If I could change, I would change,"
Say "I can change, and I will change."

NEVER SAY NEVER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no such thing as no chance.
Don't think about the things you can't do.
Think about the things you can do.

No matter what the level of your ability is,
You have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.

You have powers you never dreamed of.
You can do things you never thought you could do.
There are no limitations to what you can do
Except the limitations of your own mind.

Your range of available choices right now is limitless.
Look at things as they can be.

RICHES LIE WITHIN YOU
--------------------------------------

Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation.
Your real riches in life are riches of the head and heart.
Satisfaction comes when you appreciate what you have.

While success is getting what you want,
True happiness is wanting what you get.

It's not how much you have,
But how much you enjoy that truly matters.
Riches lie within you,
Not in your material possessions.

YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITIES



Your destiny isn't a matter of chance,
it's a matter of the choices you make.
Success isn't something you wait for,
it's something you must pursue.

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities to be successful.
Seize common occasions and turn them into great ones.
Opportunities sometimes come disguised in the form of misfortune,
Or temporary defeat.

Start where you are.
You are, at this moment,
Standing right in the middle of opportunity.

If you act on your dreams you can live them.

YOU CAN, IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't be afraid of what life has to offer you.
When you believe that life is worth living,
Your belief will help create the fact.

The barrier between you and success
Is not something that exists in the real world.
It's simply composed of doubts about your ability.
Your only limits to your realization of tomorrow
Will be your doubts of today.

Success is a state of mind.
If you want to be successful,
Start thinking of yourself as being successful.

What you believe yourself to be, you are.
