The 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.

When we feel something passionately, it changes us profoundly. It’s as though an energy source has been released inside us that cannot be harnessed. It is an intensity that is rare due to its overwhelming effect. And it comes with purpose that must be realized. Passion without purpose is wind in a bottle with no escape, but passion with purpose is conviction in in an unstoppable motion.

There is something inside you clawing to get out and you are unknowingly its prison. It may be hope or passion or even the truth. And only you hold the key to let it out. Every day what is locked up inside yearns for freedom. And within its release resides the missing element your life has been missing. Opening your heart opens up your mind. And any open door is the first step to freedom.

Weathering the storm does not mean you will not get wet in the pouring rain or lose your possessions to the fierce winds. It does not mean you will always be safe and sheltered from the hale and lightning. It means you are willing to carry on in its aftermath and have the courage to believe that the beauty of tomorrow is greater than the carnage of yesterday. It’s the absolute acknowledgement that there is no storm in life with more intensity than the ones we create when we choose to overcome.

A new beginning does not come because there is a new day or a new opportunity. It is possible because we build it. Circumstances are either invitations into something different or excuses to remain the same. The ability to change our lives resides in our willingness to move forward when everything in our current situation pulls us back.

Finding your way in this life is not about taking all the right roads and following the directions. It’s about getting so utterly lost that the only way out is to build a new road. Every known path was once a wilderness that had to first be travelled by a lost soul. And every destination at the end of those new roads was where they considered themselves found.

Our actions are seeds we plant throughout our lives. And as those seeds take root and grow, they begin growing in other people’s lives. Anger grows into thorny underbrush that overtakes fertile lands. Deceit grows into poison weeds which choke out the beauty of lush pastures. Kindness grows fragrant flowers with a scent that is carried to others in the breeze. And love grows gardens which provide what sustains us. Plant only those seeds for others which produce that which entices you enough to pick for yourself.

Giant stones are worn down with water, steel turns to rust and mighty trees fall in the wind. These are visions of strength which are eventually reduced to rubble. We are shown these in nature to realize there should never be a question in our minds that the greatest of our troubles in life, no matter how powerful, will find their way into simple dust.

Your misery exists because it knows not to. Your peace is elusive because it has no direction. Your understanding is lacking because it is not fed wisdom. There are so many things in life to desire. But without the knowledge to comprehend the fundamentals of happiness, we will never understand the value of our desires even if we obtain them.

The hell you build for yourself is only as strong as your faith allows it to be. The same stones used to build your hell can become the stepping stones out of it. And in hand, keep your faith as the key to open what you believed to be the impenetrable door which kept you locked away.
