DON'T LET ANYTHING STAND IN THE WAY OF YOUR DREAMS
Catch the star that holds your destiny - the one that forever twinkles with your heart. Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you. Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself t it. Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you make but have faith in your judgment. Catch the star that twinkles in your heart and it will lead you to your destiny's path. Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you. Take pride in your accomplishments as they are steppingstones to your dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes but don't let them discourage you. Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique. The greatest gifts in life are not purchased but acquired through hard work and determination. Find the star that twinkles in your heart for you are capable of making your brightest dreams come true. Give your hopes everything you've got and you will catch the star that holds your destiny.
