Your misery exists because it knows not to. Your peace is elusive because it has no direction. Your understanding is lacking because it is not fed wisdom. There are so many things in life to desire. But without the knowledge to comprehend the fundamentals of happiness, we will never understand the value of our desires even if we obtain them.

The hell you build for yourself is only as strong as your faith allows it to be. The same stones used to build your hell can become the stepping stones out of it. And in hand, keep your faith as the key to open what you believed to be the impenetrable door which kept you locked away.

If you can live your life as though you are connected to everyone else, then every avenue in their lives becomes a new possible path for you to explore. If you choose not to, then most directions you go become a one way dead end. Our connections to each other are what opens the roads to new destinations.

The days you are given are not meant to be filled, they are yours to be fulfilled. Each day has a purpose which you are tasked to discover. Within that purpose, is an answer you seek, a thought you need to move forward or a new direction your life should go. Enlightenment exists in the purpose and not the trivial.

Diving into unknown deep water is believing that whatever lies there is worth experiencing. The chance you may not resurface is what keeps you in shallow waters. But the amount of fear you are willing to overcome is not in the water, but in your desire to know your own depth.

Sometimes there is nothing to say. Other times there are words which must be said. And at times we don’t speak when we should and do when we shouldn’t. But in each instance, it is an interaction which either connects or divides. What we convey to others builds bridges to connect or canyons to separate. So always speak your words as though they are the ones you will be remembered by.

We often seek a path riddled with obstacles. We go against what is natural, even going backwards only to arrive at places we don’t wish to be. Just because we desire something does not mean it’s the path forward. Resistance is often nature’s way of telling us we are on the wrong path while the path of least resistance guides us effortlessly to where we should go.

Protect yourself but remain free to make mistakes. Guard your heart but loan it to those you believe worthy. Stand your ground, but always make it in the middle. Challenge your struggles and forgive the ones which best you. Recognize fear, then find the courage to ask its intent. Trust in what you can be and always doubt those who do not share that faith.

We all build prisons for ourselves. Some are maximum security because we convict ourselves for life. Others are medium security because we know at some point we need to forgive ourselves. And still others are minimum security. Because we realize our mistakes do not define us and that we deserve a second chance.

Faith is reaching for something because we believe we are supposed us to have it. Fear is not reaching for something because we believe it’s not meant to be. Reaching without thought of either gives power to faith while erasing the fears which keep us from fulfillment.
