When the world was given, it was done so as a wilderness. But within that which had yet to be tamed and civilized, there was a perfection and beauty because it was unknown and uncharted. If we the fail to see the beauty in that which is wild and chaotic in our own world, then we will be blind to any beauty it possesses when we tame it to our definition of civilization.

If you are envious of someone else’s road, then you have no faith in your own journey. Everything that happens to another on their journey and the time in which it occurs is paramount to their destination. If it does not happen for you or at the same time as another, it is because you are going different places and different distances. Trust that your road is equally important as another’s, but that each destination is custom made for the person chosen to reach it on the unique road built for them to travel toward it.

Remember that when you are lost the only thing left is to be found. And when you are in darkness the light is the only other option. Do not allow fear and despair to persuade you that lost is a permanent condition when it is only a temporary situation or that darkness is a locked dungeon when it is only a tunnel at night. Always choose that which you desire, not that which persuades you that where you are is the only available option.

What others take from you, they will take with vigor and claim ownership. But no one can take from you what you give. What you give is your worth to keep. Remember that value follows intent and intent defines value. Giving is natural, taking is learned. Ownership always belongs to the one willing to let what they have go while possession is for the one who is willing to take from others.

Where we fall may be more important than why we fall. Perhaps it’s more about the landing than why we tripped in the first place. If it’s in a hole in which we land, maybe we are supposed to be looking up. If it’s a thorny patch, then perhaps we should be careful and move with caution as we continue on. If it’s a soft, lush landing, maybe we are to rest and enjoy the comfort of the moment. And if it’s a hard landing, perhaps we are to realize we need to be more aware because the next fall may be one we don’t get up from.
