Good morning/evening all of you amazing people on MFP!!! I do hope this finds you in the best of moods with a smile painted permanently to your faces. I do hope that your day has or will be one you can write home about. So their is one thing that has always bothered me and that is how as adults we lose our imagination. Why as kids to we play and act out what we want to be when we grow up, and we believe and dream we can do anything! Yet in our society if you dream or talk such nonsense as an adult you are considered crazy or told well that can never happen. We need to DREAM! We need to BELIEVE! We can do ANYTHING we put our minds too. Tell the neh sayers that I CAN DO THIS! We all need to believe in ourselves and make everyone think we are crazy and make it happen! I always tell people to smile so that the whole world thinks your crazy! Go out today and SOAR to the sky and dont stop until you are flying among the stars! Love you all! Cheers!

The Chicken
by: Gary Barnes

Once upon a time, there was a large mountainside, where an eagle's nest rested. The eagle's nest contained four large eagle eggs. One day an earthquake rocked the mountain causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain, to a chicken farm, located in the valley below. The chickens knew that they must protect and care for the eagle's egg, so an old hen volunteered to nurture and raise the large egg.

One day, the egg hatched and a beautiful eagle was born. Sadly, however, the eagle was raised to be a chicken. Soon, the eagle believed he was nothing more than a chicken. The eagle loved his home and family, but his spirit cried out for more. While playing a game on the farm one day, the eagle looked to the skies above and noticed a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies. "Oh," the eagle cried, "I wish I could soar like those birds." The chickens roared with laughter, "You cannot soar with those birds. You are a chicken and chickens do not soar."

The eagle continued staring, at his real family up above, dreaming that he could be with them. Each time the eagle would let his dreams be known, he was told it couldn't be done. That is what the eagle learned to believe. The eagle, after time, stopped dreaming and continued to live his life like a chicken. Finally, after a long life as a chicken, the eagle passed away.

The moral of the story: You become what you believe you are; so if you ever dream to become an eagle follow your dreams, not the words of a chicken.

P.S Newbies add me if you dare...haha! =0) All my COOOL MFP'ers on here lets SOAR today and spread the positive and share smiles with everyone around us.
