The works of Author C.L. Harmon
You can view life through the smallest of perspectives if you choose. You can ignore or include whatever you wish. The levels of ignorance you possess are directly linked to the size of world you choose to learn from and experience. But know that when the world seems too large and overwhelming, it’s quite possible that your perspective in life is so small that all you see is the ignorance.

Leave a CommentWhatever it may be you are walking through today, remember that you are either moving away from something negative or toward something positive. So walk with the grace that makes others want to walk in your direction. Walk with the courage that makes others want to follow and experience what it’s like to own the path. Walk with conviction so others will step out of your way. And never give anyone the satisfaction of knowing they have the power to make you run from them.

Leave a CommentSome days you will feel defeated…and you will be. The pieces will break and the shards will crash around you. Your bones will ache and darkness you will see on both sides of your eyes. But then there will be a memory which pulls you from the day’s abyss, a soothing tune or just a comfort in the closing of that day, because hope abounds. Let us never forget that hope is the greatest of creations that lives in the smallest of experiences.

Leave a CommentThe weak willed will always follow evil if it’s presented as something easy or free. The strong willed, however, lead the way to goodness because they are drawn to what is greater than themselves. And that which is greater is rarely easily attainable. Being a leader is not choosing to not follow evil, it’s pursuing the greater with such vigor that others choose to lead with you in pursuit of the more difficult to discover what you seek.

Leave a CommentConquerors amass lands. And yet the farmer gains more from the acre in which he eats. The wealthy amass fortunes too much to spend. And yet it is the poor who learn value as it is needed to survive. Tyrants rule over hordes and yet the oppressed’s hearts rest not in servitude but in freedom. And governments amass authority. But it is the people who own defiance, which does not answer to authority. Fulfillment comes not from what you acquire but what you desire.
Conquerors amass lands. And yet the farmer gains more from the acre in which he eats. The wealthy amass fortunes they can never spend.

Leave a CommentThe force which pulls you is what keeps you on the right path. At times it will be a negative one which is life telling you to fight and pull back. And other times, it will be positive telling you to stay the course and remain vigilant. But each force is needed to keep us from wandering aimlessly through life. This is because purpose lies in the narrowness of the middle. If we venture off course, purpose becomes misplaced. And your purpose may just be the door to someone else’s path.

Leave a CommentWhen the rich want the poor to do better, that’s hope. When the saved want salvation for all, that’s faith. When the healthy want cures for the sick, that’s compassion. When the poor refuse to steal from the rich, that’s integrity. When the lost listen to the saved, that’s trust. When the sick accept help from the healthy that’s charity. Life always puts us on one side of the coin. And though we may not always have the option to flip the coin, we do have the power to give that coin more value.

Leave a CommentWe were given a voice because evil will grow in silence. We were given language because unity requires communication and a lack of divides us. We were given resolve because enemies are always determined. We were given the ability to listen because those against us boast of deeds. But above all these, we were given choice…and that determines the amount of evil we are willing to accept.

Leave a CommentPain is currency and that is how we pay our way through life. There is a price to life, a fee to experience both the good and the bad, the joyous and the sad. It’s the cost to see the show. And in the end, if you assess the price was too high, then be assured that you focused so much on the cost of gaining entry that you missed the best parts of the show.
