"Think BIG, believe BIG, act BIG, and the results will be BIG."

During the past year I have used several songs in developing a message for Motivational Moments. Those songs included Life's A Dance, Life Means So Much, and I Hope You Dance*. For this Motivational Moments I turn to Garth Brooks--Brooks has had a string of hits that made it to the top as both Country and Rock. The song is about Dreams, not just dreaming the dream, but of taking action to accomplish those dreams.

The River
You know a dream is like a river
Ever changing as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores...and

Chorus
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide...yes

Chorus
And there's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all

Yes I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry
