Joe On Facebook

My apologies to everyone…no conspiracy here…I accidentally deleted the thread about the video declaration form. Because so many people were linking to the original message, I went in to edit it around three this morning to add the direct link to the form. On Facebook, at least in the past, you can hit the delete button and it makes the text shaded and you can add whatever you want, then hit return and it saves. I did as I always did, hit delete, and it said delete or cancel…and I was tired and not paying attention and hit the wrong button. Didn’t realize what I’d done until later.

So again: my apologies to all who posted and shared the link. For those who want to continue the discussion, or link, here’s the basic info again: the US Customs Department has a form that’s been around since 2001 mainly for companies but is now being directed at private citizens to get them to sign testifying that a video or DVD from overseas is nothing treasonous, immoral, or might lead to insurrection. The direct link for the form is at: http://www.fedex.com/sg/services/tools/demo/video_form.html

Anyway, again, my apologies for the mishap.

Never Surrender Dreams

We are born capable of greatness. It's when we allow ourselves to become discouraged, to see ourselves as failures, when we fail to recognize our inherent nobility, that we grow small, and diminish, and ultimately sacrifice our dreams on the altar of more realistic expectations of ourselves.

When that happens, we forget who we are, what we are here for, and what we want to achieve, knowledge that is always within us...until we choose not to remember it any longer because the memory pains us, and because it is easier to settle for less than our dreams demand of us.

Children sing and dance spontaneously, tell stories without fear, reveal their thoughts without inhibition, and reach for what logic tells us should be unattainable. That is who and what we are in our most elemental form. We do, we explore, we ask questions; we pursue our heart's desires, we dream of achieving greatness. But as time passes, we learn fear, we learn to second-guess ourselves, and we learn to suspect our abilities and our desires. We are told that some people tell stories, some people dance, and some people sing, but these things are not for everyone. When we try to express our innermost thoughts, we are told to be quiet, that no one wants to hear what it is we have to say, and that even if they did want to hear it, what we say has no innate value. When we lose the spark of spontaneity that was born inside us, which is our greatest gift, we progressively eliminate the possibility of finding joy and purpose, and inch by inch, our dreams slip away from us.

If we are to be who we are, and what we are; if we are to accomplish great things, then we must learn the heart's most essential rule: NEVER SURRENDER DREAMS.
