Thanks to my UNKNOWN reader who send me this lovely porem:)

dream is a wish your heart makes
when you’re fast asleep.
In dreams you will lose your heartaches,
whatever you wish for you keep.

Have faith in your dreams and someday,
your rainbow will come smiling through.
No matter how your heart is grieving,
if you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true.

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re feeling small,
Alone in the night you’ll whisper,
thinking no one can hear you at all.
You wake with the morning sunlight
to find fortune that is smiling on you.
Don’t let your heart be filled with sorrow,
for all you know, tomorrow
the dream that you wished will come true.

Oh, you wake with the morning sunlight
to find fortune that is smiling on you.
Don’t let your heart be filled with sorrow,
for all you know, tomorrow
the dream that you wished will come true.

Oh, no matter how your heart is grieving,
if you’ll keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true.  

“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.”
- Franklin D. Roosevelt 

Do things unexpectedly.
One key secret to a successful relationship is compromise. Meeting halfway on things shows your partner that you really do care about their viewpoint and you are willing to work on making each other happy. Every so often make it a point to do something that you normally would not agree to or feel like doing. When you keep your partner constantly surprised by your actions, you regenerate that “new love” feeling time and time again. So, when your partner asks if you want to try that new restaurant…say yes! If they ask if you want to try a new hobby…say yes!

Show your loyalty.
Nothing strengthens a relationship quite like watching your partner go to bat for you, especially against close friends or family members. It shows that you consider your relationship a team. If you harass one member of a team, you harass them all. When you side with other people against your partner you make them feel alienated and the seeds of hidden resentment become planted. You can show loyalty positively as well by bragging about your partner’s recent accomplishments to friends and family.

Be supportive.
Challenges and opportunities are always going to occur. You can’t stop them from happening. Hopefully for both of you the changes in your lives are positive ones. The secret key here is having a supporting and understanding mate in your corner to help you through your ups and downs. If you lose your job, it’s quite a bit easier to bounce back when you have someone who’s willing to support your choices and any new directions you might want to branch out to. If you want a career or lifestyle change, imagine the difference having someone who will carefully consider and support those changes? When your partner is presenting you with a challenge or an opportunity, treat them the way you’d want to be treated.

Maintain a healthy dose of individuality.
Personal time and space are essential to growing individually. Everyone one needs private time to do the things they want to do. It helps refocus attention to the priorities. Sometimes you or your partner may just need time to release emotions from a bad day, instead of bringing it home with them. Learning to respect and notice when your partner needs some individual time shows that you are committed to not only your relationship, but their long-term happiness as well.

Love your partner.
Love is obviously a crucial element in a successful long-term relationship. But having love isn’t enough. You need to be in love. The phrase “love is a verb, not a noun” certainly applies here. Don’t hesitate to write that quick love note, give that deep kiss, sit next to each other at a restaurant or hold hands in public. The little things go a long way towards establishing a deep, intimate connection with your partner. As simple as it sounds, this action is probably the most commonly overlooked and ignored

When the world
Seems to be unfair,
And it seems as though
Nobody seems to care.

When the people you know
Just somehow disappear,
Whom you needed the most
Just left you in tears.

You cry out for someone
But nobody hears,
Longing for the embrace
Of somebody dear.

When you want all the pain
To come to an end,
Just come to me,
I’ll be your friend.

“Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.”

Traditional goal-setting wisdom has taught us that a good goal must be a) written, b) challenging, c) believable, d) specific, e) measureable, and f) have a specific deadline. Unfortunately, it’s not too difficult to think of an example that directly challenges any of the above goal-setting criteria. For instance, the goal “to live a more spiritual life” may be a valuable, meaningful goal for many, but it’s hardly measurable and assigning a deadline makes little sense for a permanent alteration of lifestyle.

This traditional checklist of things that “make a good goal” is largely a product of old technology: pen and paper. The old-school of goal-setting suggested that people write down goals on a small slip of paper and keep it in their wallet or purse. Suffice to say that slips of paper rapidly dissolve into lint. Today we have email.

A different question is, “What makes a good Goalplan?” On this, our position is precise: A good Goalplan is one that when followed, offers a reasonably high probability of success, given sufficient time.
