It is not just the end of a journey that should be celebrated but also the beginning. When we begin a quest, we are taking a risk, opening ourselves up to discovery and leaving behind the fear that keeps our lives stagnant and our hearts still.

But what they think goes no further than their own mind. Their thoughts hold no more power than yours. And if your thoughts are focused on you as much as theirs are directed towards you, then you have already proven them wrong.

Leave a CommentTo define something is to give it parameters. Definition seems as though it gives purpose we can understand. But defining something also limits it and hides what is still unknown from us. And without that mystery, we have defined our world and and thus limit ourselves.

Leave a CommentCivilization isn’t technology and advancements in the quality of life. It is the simple act of being civil to each other. It is the principles of human nature being respected without intimidation and goodness triumphing over evil. Civilization is multiple acts of love and respect in a time and place when hatred and contempt are justifiable.

Leave a CommentSo many people seek to find themselves. And if ever they find what they seek, then how sad that is for them. Because never again will they know the joy of continuing self discovery. We should never seek an end to what can be, when the possibilities of what could be are endless.

Leave a CommentLetting go of everything is like free falling from a great height. But if all we do is worry about where we land, then we have only let go to grasp onto something else. Falling is our freedom because it means we hold onto nothing and nothing holds on to us. And though it may be a hard landing, there will be no weight to carry once we pick ourselves up to move into a direction free of everything which held us in place.

Leave a CommentBeing out of a negative situation is standing on the outside looking inside. It’s a perspective like no other. The pain no longer has a hold on us and the misery is falling away. But when we see it with anger, we are still connected to the negativity regardless of how far outside we may be. And that connection keeps us from finding a new inside that fulfills us to the point that we never want to be on the outside again.

Leave a CommentIt’s okay to bring remnants of yesterday into today. But only bring the pieces that help you appreciate the now and entice the anticipation of tomorrow. Everything else is already spent and should remain only in our wisdom and memories.

Leave a CommentThere’s glory in the difficult and conviction in the complicated. So many situations in life seem to test us with unwarranted difficulties. And to make it worse, they often seem like such futile tests. But it’s not so much about the experiences as where they lead us. When we need a new perspective, it’s not so much the route which guides us there that is important, but the enlightenment which awaits us when we get to the destination.

Leave a CommentThe easy way to anything was used up a long time ago. This leaves us with the hard way or the belief there is no way. Either way we choose, the universe will let us. And in the end, there will be no doubt to anyone as to which one we chose. Because those of us who chose the hard way will have a history admired and bewildered by those who believed there was no way.
