The following story motivated me when I read how much this teenager from England had achieved starting from something small and persevering until something large happened.
Her believing made everything possible.
And this is what happened to this troubled young girl from England.
“Everything became possible.”

While going through a hard time she was encouraged to help out on a charity walk. 
She found that she was good at walking. 
Her self-esteem was boosted by the realisation that she was good at something, even if it was the simple act of walking. 
She was able to keep going after the other people wanted to stop.
She came up with the idea to do a charity walk from the top of England to the bottom. 
After she completed that goal, she decided to walk across the U.S.A.
Eventually she walked across Australia, then from South Africa to Morocco.
Up through Spain, then France and finally back to Britain.
She received a hero’s welcome.
This young Lady had walked around the world!
It is such a small gift to be able to walk long distances. 
But she used her gift to elevate herself above her companions.
Now she was in a position of influence.
She was able to help other troubled young teenagers to believe in themselves.
It was amazing to see how many people helped her to achieve this dream.

This is the usual response by the public and others that are close to you.
People are always ready to help anyone with a plan.

It is almost strange to watch people give of their time and finances, for a project they can believe in.

Last night I saw a program on T.V. about an Australian man who had been very successful in the film industry.
He was involved in the sales and promotion of large Hollywood films.
He had gone on a holiday to Cambodia and while he was there he became interested in the welfare of the local people.

One thing led to another and he ended up visiting the local garbage dump where he saw some of the poorest people he had ever seen.
They were trying to make a living picking through the rubbish.
As he was experiencing this; his mobile phone rang.

On the other end of the phone was a famous movie star and her agent.
They were about to get on a private jet he had organised for them as part of a film promotion.
This movie star was not very happy with him because the wrong food had been organised for her flight.
This movie star said to him, while he was standing in the middle of this rubbish and human misery.

“Why does my life have to be this difficult?”

In that moment he knew that he could not go back to Hollywood.
He had to stay in Cambodia and help these poor struggling people.
He could see the contrast between his life in Hollywood and the lives of the people scavenging for a living around him
His heart opened up and grace flowed.
Since then he has raised up a school and medical clinic.
He has even gone back to Hollywood to raise money for his dream.
And because he believes…others have started believing and assisting him financially or with their time and effort.
This man sold nearly everything he owned so he could help these Cambodians.
He actually became poor so that they might become richer.
His wealth was transferred to them.
It lifted them up into a better life.

Grace releases grace.
A thought becomes a stream; which becomes a river.

You suddenly realise you have the ability to walk a long distance.
Or a different lifestyle can appear before you.
And then your heart turns within you.
You were going in one direction and now you are facing the other way.

Both of these people could not have achieved their goals without the help of others.
Grace can flow towards you and under-gird you so that all your needs are met.
We only have to believe; this grace is available.

It may appear in our lives as the smallest idea but in the end it can remove every mountain and fill up every valley.
Grace is free.
It has the power to enable you to achieve all your goals and dreams.
There is no limit to undeserved favour.
People can show you unusual kindness.
There is no waiting period.
Are you ready?

The largest river in Australia is called the River Murray.
When I was a teenager my friend’s parents hired a houseboat for a holiday on the River Murray.
Parts of the river are separated from each other by artificial locks.
These locks stop the river from running dry during periods of drought.
When you travel up the river against the current in a houseboat, you have to go inside one of these locks at different stages of your journey.

Very large steel doors close behind the boat.
The lock master opens up an enormous pipe that lets water flow from the high side of the river into the lock.
The houseboat starts to rise until it is level with the river on the high side of the lock.
Then a different set of steel doors open and the boat is released out into the wide open upper spaces of the River Murray.
The houseboat is so heavy and we are so weak in comparison.
But all the engineers do is tap into the ability and power of the river.

They open a pipe…water flows out and we float up to a new level.
We then continue our journey on this new level without a care in the world.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM?
Why not start to do something about it.
If you are going to start your dream this week please let someone know about it.
Sometimes it helps to share your dream, so people that read or hear about your dream can encourage you even if they do not know you or have only just met you.

Perhaps they have come into your life for a reason that is not immediately obvious.
Our actions and decisions can motivate others to believe and inspire them to make the tough decisions.
When people gather together and agree together, nothing is impossible.
Your friends and family will respect you for your perseverance.
They might even join you on your adventure.

Remember what it was like when you were motivated and encouraged.
No-one could stop you doing what you were meant to do.
Yes, a very important job was in front of you.
Someone had to take a chance.
And now here you are, standing on the spot that your destiny has prepared.
The right person and the best opportunity.
To save the planet from it’s present madness.
Speak the truth in all it’s fullness..!!
Sharpen your tongue and freshen your mind.
Because words are about to come forth to change the world.
Families will be set free from the hunger that comes from a famine of truth.
Settle down into the rhythm that follows a different drum.
A small echo that reflects a thousand voices.
An ear to hear what you propose.
Semi-trailers in Australia haul supplies from the big cities to the small country towns.
And then return to the cities full of produce from the farms, cattle and sheep stations.
No-one questions this supply cycle and neither should they.
What is to question?
It is the way life works.
Round and round, endlessly circling the cycle of life.
Our thoughts do the same thing.
Wrestling between questions and answers, now we know it and now we do not.
Please free us from all unnecessary mental activity.
Peace in the mind and heart is true peace.
Put your hand up and yell, “stop”.
The music has gone quiet and the game is finished.
The problem we are left with is this.
How to sift the relevant from the irrelevant.
The rational from the irrational.
Imagine you are one of the drivers supplying the city and country towns with your big truck.
Suddenly you are relevant and rational.
Basically, you are the link that keeps the people alive because you are feeding them.
But in this wide world of talk and stale idea’s, people are sensing a famine of new idea’s that is just below the surface.
Here comes the clarity.
New idea’s and old idea’s are different ends of the same stick.
A stick that assaults us day and night from the rubbish media.
What to think, how to talk.
It’s force is deafening.
We try to hold back the tide, but it flows over us and we are submerged.
Yes, nearly drowning under the social pressure that gushes from the computer, T.V or mobile phone.
School children killing themselves or being killed by someone’s opinion.
Teachers being restrained by “culture”.
The truth being sold too cheaply and lies being held up as truth.
Their truth maybe, but not “the” truth.
True wisdom has two sides.
Please tell us both sides of the story.
Even a winner needs someone to come second.
A race is always against something, even it is only your past performance.
It is called resistance training, if one side manages to silence the other side, we are in deep trouble.
Something can only have value in a world where something else has no value.
Every opinion is only half the story.
You can only be 100% right when the other person is 100% wrong.
Anything in between is nearly there, but not there completely.
Here is my final question.

How can you be happy, if you have never been sad?
