The works of Author C.L. Harmon
Let people be miserable, unhappy, cranky and angry. At some point, they will tire of themselves. Enlightenment will finally come when they realize other people choose, peace and happiness for themselves over the company they once kept with you.

If you observe someone at the beginning of a journey and then again at the end, you will discover they are not the same. And though your observation may discern very little about the journey, it will provide a great deal about their character.

Yesterday may not have been the day we succeeded, but it was the day we persevered. Today may be a day we fail, but it is also the day we tried. Some days may seem like utter defeat, but each moves us forward. Not every day will offer a desired result, but every one builds on the previous one. And that means every tomorrow is one day closer to what we will accomplish.

Leave a CommentEverything in life influences us based on two things. One is the value we place on peace and the other is the worth we place on security. No matter what occurs in life, we can place our peace above it. We can place so much value on keeping our peace that we allow others to lead, to be right, to be first, and to win even if not warranted or deserved. The worth we place on security, however, is different; it’s volatile. It is something we only have limited control over because everything can be taken from us. This is why it has worth, not value. And when we assign it too much worth, it will not allow us to ever value peace.

Sometimes we need a win. Life and the evil within it seem to mete out negatives and disappointments so much of the time that it can be crushing. But life nor the devil own us. We can provide a positive to ourselves anytime we choose. Never let the devil convince you that negativity is necessary or you will forget that happiness is a necessity.

Goodbye conveys we are leaving. There is a finality in them which conjures sorrow within us when it is a farewell to a creation of something good and positive – something that has become a part of us beyond who we were before its creation. And though these special creations end in one sense, they live on within so many others. Memories, experiences, and interactions do not know goodbyes, they simply become new creations within us. Though we may part in life, we are always connected as we take with us a bit of every goodbye, and with it, create something new inside of us that never says goodbye.

Leave a CommentWe can build an empire on lies. We can protect it with corruption, promote it with deception, and camouflage it in positivity. It may thrive and even impress others. But it will never be free from attack. The truth’s only purpose is existing in all places at all times. All it knows is to invade where it has been denied. It will never relent until it is brought forth. It will deny protection and peace until the point death separates our life from our lies.

Leave a CommentKindness costs less than what you have in your pocket, even when you’re penniless. Compassion takes only as much time as it takes to provide an embrace. Courage takes only a thought to be enacted, and action will follow. Faith works with only the will to believe in another, and their reality will respond. And change is ever present in the amount of time it takes to formulate a thought. It takes so little to matter to others; and to them this is what will matter most.

If your peace can be influenced by someone else’s irritations, anger or frustration, then it is not peace you desire, but appeasement by those who would control you by their whims and emotions.
C.L. Harmon
Before stepping out on what may be shaky ground, pray the stability to which you are moving toward is known solid ground. It’s much easier to fight your demons on the unsteady ground of which you are familiar than the unknown depths of which they are familiar.
