The works of Author C.L. Harmon
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.

Leave a CommentWe 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.

Leave a CommentFaith 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.

Leave a CommentSometimes we have to feel our way through moments in life. There are not always road maps and instructions to gain our bearings because where we need to go is uncharted territory. Feeling our way through is completely letting go of everything that makes sense and still taking a step into the unknown believing we have a place in it.

Leave a CommentIf we scatter stones randomly over an area, we erect nothing. But combine them and we can build whatever we imagine. Life is about building with what is substantial while allowing the debris to scatter into the corners of nowhere. Once we learn this, we have laid the foundation for building a better life.

Leave a CommentInternal conflicts happen within us because we desire something we question in our hearts is good for us. And yet our desire for what we feel we want is so strong, it seems right. But still we have doubts. This conflict, however, is our answer to what path we should follow. Its existence alone tells us that the greatest path for us follow always leads to our heart and not the desires which lead us away from it.

Leave a CommentRelationships are built by adding more to what has already been put into place. But we often put off building because we feel we lack all the materials to complete. What we fail to realize though, is that the heart does not need to have everything in place to begin building. It already knows what’s meant to be will make its own way.

Leave a CommentThe last step you take before you fall, is only the last for that journey. The very next step you take is the beginning of a new one. We tend to see failure at a journey’s end when in fact, a fall is nature’s way of telling us there is something greater for us in a new direction. Our falls do not define us, they direct us.

Leave a CommentIf the distance you are willing to travel to meet someone on an emotional level matters more to you than the other person, then their middle is somewhere you cannot travel without a cost to yourself. Tread lightly because their middle may be your end.

Leave a Commentf we don’t look past what we want, we may never know what we truly need. Just because something fills a void does not mean it’s what is best for us. Sometimes it’s better to say no or walk away from a small desire so we are not too blind to see the great ones up ahead.
