WE'VE GOT THE POWER</B></div> <div> Dated 6/2/99:</div> <div>      FIRST OF ALL, HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE! It's also the summer solstice (the longest day of the year) - and there is so much FRUIT coming to bear and energy abounding!</div> <div> ..</div> <div>      Its worth noting, even if only for future comparisons, what's happening in ones life on this particular day in relationships, health, career and spiritual growth. I have found a trend is usually established from where one was at in the spring and is developing or beginning to manifest. Many people have quite profound experiences which make major differences in their lives on this very date and others by taking note and thinking back, can see where their efforts are taking them.</div> <div> ..</div> <div>      I find the seasons to be a great place to mark ones progress on the time line of our lives and by studying the changes in nature and applying them to our selves, we can better understand the continuous cycles as well as the maturing process of any thing we are given or have chosen to deal with.</div> <div> ..</div> <div>      I am working on ideas which I hope to be able to utilize for the encouragement of our youth. As a part of those efforts, I would like to share the following song I just completed (today) and hope you might feel inspired and motivated by it's message..... it is so meaningful to me, that I don't feel compelled to include anything further in this portion of the zine...... if it inspires you in any way, please let me know, I would love to be able to know of the FRUIT of my labors. I hope it will be found as a song of empowerment to each and every person who reads it.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> The song is titled: WE'VE GOT THE POWER</div> <div> ..</div> <div> © June 22, 1999 by Wanda Hope Carter, All rights reserved.</div> <div> PLEASE HELP ME PRESERVE MY COPYRIGHTS UNTIL I HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO RECORD THEM No duplication, downloading, e-mail forwarding, web site posting or any other use without express written permission.</div> <div> ..</div> <div> <B>WE'VE GOT THE POWER</B></div> <div> ..</div> <div> We've got the power</div> <div> We've got the choice</div> <div> We've got the message</div> <div> We've got the voice</div> <div> ..</div> <div> We've got the ways</div> <div> We've got the means</div> <div> We are the KINGS</div> <div> We are the QUEENS</div> <div> ..</div> <div> We've got the courage</div> <div> To take the stand</div> <div> We want a better world</div> <div> This is our demand</div> <div> ..</div> <div> Its up to you</div> <div> Its up to me</div> <div> To break the mold</div> <div> Of mediocrity</div> <div> ..</div> <div> This is a new day</div> <div> We'll make a new way</div> <div> There's nothing we can't do</div> <div> That we put our minds to</div> <div> ..</div> <div> There is no problem</div> <div> That we can't fix</div> <div> Face to face and heart to heart</div> <div> No lies, no tricks</div> <div> ..</div> <div> We must hold up each other</div> <div> Lest one should slip and fall</div> <div> To lift a sister or a brother</div> <div> Elevates us all</div> <div> ..</div> <div> The future is in our hands</div> <div> The fate of all mankind</div> <div> If we spread our love across the lands</div> <div> Peace we will find</div> <div> ..</div> <div> We've got the power</div> <div> We've got the choice</div> <div> We've got the message</div> <div> We've got the voice</div> <div> ..</div> <div> We've got the ways</div> <div> We've got the means</div> <div> We are the KINGS</div> <div> We are the QUEENS</div> <div> ..</div> <div> © June 22, 1999 by Wanda Hope Carter, All rights reserved.</div> <div> No duplication, downloading, e-mail forwarding, web site posting or any other use without express written permission.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Return to: </B><A HREF="http://inspirationmotivation.com/power.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://inspirationmotivation.com/power.h"><B>This issue's INDEX </B></A></div> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="_reader_s_corner_words_of_wisdom___"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>*READER'S CORNER, WORDS OF WISDOM*</B></div> <div> This was sent to me by the person who has been my good friend longer than any other friend in my life...

We tend to get discouraged if we take this a sign that we have failed or at least that we must surely have gotten off course.</I></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <I>Right now, my feet hurt, my mind is fried, I have no time for anything or anybody that I want to spend time on and my dreams (which I am still hanging on to for dear life) seem to be put on hold while I struggle away at an endeavor forced on me by extenuating circumstances. I feel like I am so far off course that I can barely imagine getting back to where I want to and feel that I should be. So what's going on, I ask myself?</I></div> <div> <I>I can only look at what I am learning and accomplishing during this period for answers...... until finally the answers bring me to things I might need in order to get back on course and stay there with more stability than ever before. Things like, patience, humility, perseverance and honing my ability to "make the truth believable" with my salesmanship. I am then surprised at my tolerance level and inspired by remembering how hard it is for so many people to just make it in this world..</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>The answers continue to pour in until finally I can say OF COURSE!!! Because I can see that somehow this is a part of a greater plan for me and I believe there are tremendously beneficial lessons to be learned and inspirations to be found before I continue down the path of my choosing. An example that I think of is that after writing the refrain of a song some years ago at home, I later found myself spending down time at a new job that I really hated, writing the rest of the verses. I believe in whole, it contains a great message and that it will eventually make a difference in the world. And I ask myself, could I have written it any where else in any other way? I hated that job but yet it was an inspiration and opportunity for me to create something positive.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>So the next time you are feeling off course, just keep asking yourself questions and don't stop until you can say with real excitement OF COURSE!! You are exactly where you are supposed to be right now.</I></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Until next time, I leave you with wishes for Peace, Love and Happiness.......and As Always - <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>ALOHA!!!</B></FONT></div> <div> <B>Return to: </B><A HREF="#index" TITLE="Happy Summer, Weve Got the Power!"><B>This issue's INDEX </B></A></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="454" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 22 ><NOBR><div> <A HREF="http://inspirationmotivation.com/magazine.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://inspirationmotivation.com/magazin"><B>Most Recent Issue</B></A></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <A HREF="http://inspirationmotivation.com/mag_index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://inspirationmotivation.com/mag_ind"><B>Index of all Previous Issues</B></A></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="136"><div> <A HREF="http://inspirationmotivation.com/littleton.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://inspirationmotivation.com/littlet"><B>Next Issue</B></A></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> This page and the Inspiration Motivation site is owned by Wanda Hope Carter, copyrights 1991, 1992, 1998, 1999, 2000,  2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006.
