Goal for the Day: Don’t Stop Believin’

Forgive me for borrowing a line from the 1981 song by Journey, but we really shouldn’t stop believing. While there’s much to mistrust in this world, some things are irrefutable. You know when something is right and good. When it is, trust in it. Believe in it. And, know that it will always be there for you.


Everyone needs to have people upon whom they can rely. No matter how many “friends” you may have, upon how many of them can you really rely? True devotion is a rare thing. When we find it, we need to nurture it and care for it—put our faith in it. Even if that devotion and purity of spirit comes from a pet and not a person, at least you can enjoy it and trust it. Each one of us has to have something in which to believe and trust. If you’re fortunate enough to have both a pet and people in your life in whom you can place your trust, you should have confidence in your decision to do so. And, even if you get knocked down, you can get up again. But, that’s a different song entirely.
