Reaching for the stars takes passion, and passion requires being passionate. So what is it that YOU feel most passionate about? Maybe you feel most passionate about the work you do, or perhaps it's your family. Could it be you have a glorious green thumb, and you didn't even know it? Then again, you can always try something new, right?

With so many sparkling stars in the sky to choose from the prospects alone might feel quite overwhelming, still, I believe in reaching for the stars no matter what, because quite frankly, how could you not? Reaching for those beautiful, twinkling, silvery stars can, of course, be quite a task indeed. You'll need a healthy dose of patience, ingenuity, perseverance, and a really great attitude, too. Attitude is everything you know. You'll also need to keep your eyes wide open. Remember not to try too hard, because as I'm sure you already know, stars can be rather elusive, and shy, too.

Have you ever noticed how you can't ever find that fabulous fallen star, or any of them for that matter? I'll bet it's simply because those fragile priceless little tiny stars just need to be needed, therefore they need us Human Beings to keep reaching for them time, and time again. I suppose an open mind, a fabulous imagination, and healthy sense of humor could only help to secure at least one of those stars you're reaching for, and perhaps, even more!

To possess an open heart, one full of love, dreams, and so much hope too, sounds so heavenly, doesn't it? Heavenly Stars, I think I've got it! You have to have faith in your own self to successfully reach those daring, and darling dangling stars. Of course, you have to have faith in others, too. Why not consider having faith in something even more powerful? What is it that you believe in? What is it you draw your strength from? For me, it's both GOD, and nature.

Additionally, I listen to my own soul as well as my conscience, and I believe I know myself better than anyone else ever could. You see I choose to carefully listen to everything. I really try my best to hear, comprehend, and understand everything to the best of my ability, then I work hard to learn as much as I can. You see those little stars will whisper in your ear if you just stay still long enough to really listen. Before you know it they'll tell you to keep on dreaming, because I assure you, YOU too can successfully reach those stars. So why not just do it? All you have to do is just close your eyes, take a deep breathe, and then, GO FOR IT!
