“When we read stories of heroes, we identify with them. We take the journey with them. We see how the obstacles almost overcome them.

“Dreams require down payments. Dreams are free, but the journey isn't. There is a price to pay. First, you must pay the price of dealing with criticism from people who matter. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, 'Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.' Second, you must pay the price of overcoming your fears. Failure, rejection, and looking foolish are common fears - but they are just feelings that can be conquered and removed from your thoughts. Finally, you must be willing to pay the price of hard work in order to realize your dream.” PeopleFirstsSaidMatterHardFeelingsDreamOrderCoursesRealizingCommonPayJourneyWillingHard WorkCriticismOvercomingFoolishYour DreamsRejectionPaymentPay The PriceDecide UponWaldo EmersonRalph Waldo Author:John C.

“I think what was special about 'Music by Prudence' was the classic story of the title subject's life path - from being an outcast in her society because she was disabled, to someone who picked herself from that despair and elevated herself within that community, and now that society accepting her as much as they formerly rejected her.

“Divorce is the hardest obstacle I've had to overcome in my life. I would like to believe that most people don't get married anticipating divorce. When I reached that crossroad, I felt like such a failure. After years of therapy together, I realized that staying together was emotionally destructive. My husband didn't want the divorce, but I did. So there was a lot of bitterness initially. Although we are still divorced, we still call each other "family." It was a journey to get there, but it's a beautiful place to be.” PeopleBelieveTogetherBeautifulJourneyHusbandMarriedOvercomingObstaclesDivorceI RealizedTherapyMy HusbandBitternessDivorcedBeautiful Places Author:Regina King

“When the wind is right and the cloud is gone, you can see down this road as far as Darjeeling," I told her. "But it is a long and difficult road, full of perils, and if a traveller on foot were to look at the length of it, his spirit would be overcome and he would sit down and refuse to go any further.
