Tuesday’s Thoughts and Quotes!

Laughter is timeless…Imagination has no end and dreams can go on forever!

Walt Disney

When the Eiffel Tower was built, no one dreamed that it would bring people from all over the world to view it! Did you know that the ones who lived in Paris didn’t even like it at first! They thought it was ugly. It was just so different from the structures that they were used to seeing. It was actually supposed to only be up for 20 years and after that torn down! It took 2 years and 4 months to build. Can you imagine putting that much time into something and not having it be liked and people making plans on when to destroy it. Yes, The Eiffel Tower started as someone’s dream, and it almost got destroyed, but it didn’t! We may put a lot of effort into our dreams and have people discourage us about them, but DON’T give up!! You never know how BIG your dream will actually get! 51 tons of paint each year is used on the Eiffel Tower, 51 tons of paint to keep something looking beautiful that at first was laughed at and scorned! Keep dreaming my friends! Amazing things can happen to your dreams!

Always be yourself, unless you can be a unicorn, than always be a unicorn

Do you remember who you were, before the world told you who you were?

I have always tried to instill in my girls to be YOURSELF, to march to the beat of your own drum. Do NOT let your peers tell you who you are! At times I know that is so hard to do, but I pray that they can keep trying.  I believe this can even be hard for adults to do at times. Do we remember who we were way back then? 🙂 Are we still being true to ourselves, or have we gotten into a rut of being who we think we should be?  Go out today and be that unicorn if you can 🙂 Let your light SHINE!! The world doesn’t need another copycat, it needs an original, it needs YOU!
