In Need of a Little Lift Me Up and Shel Silverstein

I’m in the mood for a little inspiration lately. Whenever one of these moods hits, I look to quotes and poetry. They always give me a little boost and remind me to keep on moving on. One of the greatest poets for inspiration is Shel Silverstein. Silverstein has an amazing way of reaching my inner child and showing me that beyond all doubt that there is power when you believe in yourself.  I think many of us forget about that when we grow up and sometimes we need a little reminding. Poems are my reminder.

Listen to the mustn’ts, child.
Listen to the don’ts.
Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me…
Anything can happen, child.
Anything can be.”

~ Shel Silverstein ~
