The works of Author C.L. Harmon
Once we understand that life is one journey leading into another, we can take our focus off the destinations and enjoy the scenery. There is no destination on earth that is a lasting happiness and denial of this, no matter how fervent, will change this. Everything in life with value is in the journey except the destination. And a destination is really just an ending where we rest before beginning a new journey with different scenery.

Leave a CommentAt any given time in life there is something to bring us joy, make us happy or provide hope. Nowhere in life is it written that we cannot make any of these our primary focus. The idea that any of us chooses to exert greater amounts of energy to the negative in life begs the question of what we value most in life. And that answer will be the answer to every other question in life.

Leave a CommentThe most powerful person in any situation is the one with the truth and the courage of conviction. No amount of evil or threat can deter them when lies and deceit have brought suffering to them and derailed them a prosperous fate. All those who rally around wickedness will never feel security because there is always a truth that will stop at nothing to be heard.

Leave a CommentWhen we are truly sorry about something, it matters. It changes things. When we are truly kind, we have used our power to invoke life to the hope which has died inside others. So many seek the world looking to bring about change with wealth and influence, waiting as though they are the needed tools. But life-changing power has already been given unto us with our willingness to be humble, sincere and empathetic. Power lies in our ability to cause change. And change only needs a word or a gesture to manifest.

Leave a CommentYou are one. What is it to be one? Because you are one, you have the opportunity to be THE one. And that means you are the one who offers comfort to others in need. You are the one who provides an opportunity when no one else does. You are the one who saves what others wish to destroy. You are the one who guides when others are lost. You are the one with words when others need counsel. You are the one who might be the only one. And to them, that makes you everyone.

Leave a CommentIf we can look at life with the attitude that “the hell I’m in is better than the hell it had once been”, then we might just make it all the way out of our hell.

Leave a CommentThere are three things in life that you will eventually seek; peace, understanding and your purpose. In time, you will have to accept the reality that you have to accept what you don’t want to accept and embrace that its acceptance is the only way to obtain them.

Leave a CommentFree will is the choice to live with a closed fist or an open hand. Holding onto negativity is like clutching stones. It has no value other than to use those stones to hurl at others. They also become heavy over time and leave no room to carry anything else.
But when we let them go, we have the option to hold anything we like…including the hand of those for which we once held stones.

Leave a CommentIf you choose to let the depth someone drags you be deeper than your will to rise above that depth, that is a clear indicator of the shallowness of your conviction to rise up when someone is helping pull you up.

Leave a CommentDollar $igns have a way of obstructing all other signs. When we become fixated on them we miss ones such as STOP before someone gets hurt. Other ones include YIELD, warning us to slow down and be vigilant for what is coming. There is also CAUTION, telling us to direct our focus to what is near and present because danger is close. Let us not forget about WORKERS PRESENT, reminding us that our actions can be detrimental to those we are around. And lastly, WRONG WAY warning us to take a different direction because the road you are on is a DEAD END.
