The works of Author C.L. Harmon
We tend to measure life in hours and years. This implies an urgency to accomplish and succeed before it runs out. How different a course our lives might take if we measured life in distance. This measure implies that the only limit is the one we create if we choose there are no directions to explore with accomplishments we care to seek.

Anger is one of those tools that has very few purposes. Much like an axe, it can be used in so many destructive ways that do more harm than any one tool should. But when it’s used correctly for its intended purpose, it’s exactly the right tool to accomplish the task.

Nothing we earn, achieve, or acquire will remember us after we pass. All of it will fade away or become the property of another. The memories and words we leave with others will be traces that attach to their souls and the only personal part of us we leave behind. Tomorrow only exists for those who have left a part of today with others.

Leave a CommentLife is uncertain it seems; a wilderness full of risks to be traversed. But risks are steppingstones leading to fate once we start taking them. And fate is not idle, but patient waiting for us, keeping us company, walking with us. And though we may not know our fate, it knows us. It shows us the way through the pitfalls in the wilderness leading us to what we call risks and what it knows is fulfilment.

Leave a CommentSometimes you’re going to lose the rhythm. Sometimes the notes are not going to make any sense and it’s going to sound more like noise than anything melodic. There will be times when you have no partner and other times when the beat fades away. But dance anyway because to the composer of life’s music, your dance is everything.

Leave a CommentClose your eyes and remember a time when you didn’t feel fear. Think about the freedom you felt in that moment without the grip of something dark clutching your emotions. Think back on the simplicity without stress and a relief that seemed to surround you. Ponder on the calmness of that moment. Now open your eyes and think of everything that is happening in your life. What is that you see which you given the power to ever take that peace from you?

Leave a CommentEvery emotion will either feed us or starve us. Every action will either move us forward or backward. Every betrayal will either enlighten or defeat us. Every loss will either weaken us or empower us. Every victory will either bring us humility or arrogance. And every choice within these will define the whole of us – either through character or judgement.

A kindness for an evil man is still a kindness. A merciful act for a cruel man is still an act of mercy. Forgiveness of those who do not ask for it is still forgiveness. Charity when you can afford to give is still sacrifice. Loyalty to those who have none is still integrity. Effort in pursuit of the impossible is still progress. Our actions may often seem futile and feel as though they make no difference. This is because our expectation is that our efforts will change something in the world. The world does not change because our efforts are accepted, it changes because our positive efforts change us. And those changes need no acceptance from others.

Leave a CommentBeware of the actions you take to obtain your desires in life. If you change who you are to get them, you may have just changed the very desire that someone else was seeking.
