http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog_rss/catherinegross/html All my life I have been told believe, and you will achieve. But...you have to do more than believe...you have to get out of your way and just do it ( like Nike says) Nike took its name form the Greek goddess of victory. The goddess Nike was a tiny little thing that could fit in your hand, nevertheless, she still was the goddess if victory. We don't have to be gods...what we have to do is stay focused and "just do it" . Sometimes we can think so hard about a thing that we can think ourselves out of it...so just do it. Try something new. If your way works keep it, but if it doesn't...try something new. If you are in your own way it means you do not believe whatever it is. So just do it. Barack say yes we can, not yes we will think about it. If you want to write a book, then just do it . You can always hire an editor. Whatever it is just do it...then you will say yes I can and know it, <p>Hello my Friend...</p><p>I was thinking about what friends are, and finally I decided that friends are just a downright blessing! Thats a good thing! No doubt, we can go from messed up to blessed up! What do you think?</p> http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/catherinegross/gGxPmS http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/catherinegross/gGxPmS/commentary#comments Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:29:16 EDT http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/catherinegross/gGxPmS Catherine of Riverdale, IL http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/profile_picture/cfb6e2eff6645da0e2_o8nmv2ydh.jpg Catherine of Riverdale, IL 3 http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/comment_rss/gGxPmS/ <p>True power is knowing that you are blessed. Think about it, Barack knows he is blessed and he will tell you so. In fact, that is what Barack means. It means blessed. Isn't that great? I think that at times it is easier to find more things that are wrong than those that are right. That is just the way it is. We live in a world that reports only the awful news, so we have to set our sights on that which is good on our own. What makes you happy? It takes a special effort to acknowledge those things that you are glad about...everyday. Everyday brings something new, so we should have something to shout about every single day. I challenge you to tell at least 5 good things that have happened for you today. I'll start it off.....</p><p>1, Yay! I finally learned how to create this page! Thanks Marcia!</p><p>2, I have a reasonable amount of health.Hurray!</p><p>3, I run a womens group that was going down the drain..but Friday I got new people, new hope, and a second chance to get it right. Alrighty now!</p><p>4, My bills are paid Glory be to God!</p><p>5, Most important of all, I woke up this morning.</p><p>OK...now its your turn. What are you glad about today?&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p> http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/catherinegross/gGxTQL http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/catherinegross/gGxTQL/commentary#comments Sun, 13 Jul 2008 16:55:28 EDT http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/catherinegross/gGxTQL Catherine of Riverdale, IL http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/profile_picture/cfb6e2eff6645da0e2_o8nmv2ydh.jpg Catherine of Riverdale, IL 0 http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/comment_rss/gGxTQL/
