Do You Believe in Yourself?

Hi children,

Have you ever doubted that you are capable of doing great things in life?
Well, to be very honest with you, I have had such doubts creeping into me occasionally.We are born for great purposes in life. Each one of us has an important role to play. We are important beings in this universe. Unfortunately, along the way, some of us allow doubt to blur the vision and dreams our parents have set for us. Rise up children! Discover the giant within you and reign! Dare to dream big and pursue that dream.
Nothing is impossible!

Let me share with you a fantastic quote from the movie " Akeela and the Bee".
Quote


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

(Quoting Marianne Williamson)

Quotable Quotes

Hi children,

I would like to quote to you a segment of a speech made by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Be inspired.

If you want to be important-wonderful. If you want to be recognized-wonderful. If you want to be great- wonderful...You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

So children, be a person of great faith, love and grace. All other things will be added to you.

Activity

Find out more about Martin Luther King, Jr and share with the class. One of you will stand a chance to win a mystery gift for your efforts and sharing.

Cheers!
