The works of Author C.L. Harmon
Sometimes there’s a desire to do it our own way, forge a new path even though other paths already exist. At the time, it seems inexplicable as to why we feel the way we do when there are already other paths. But then we realize, it was never about a new path needing to exist, but about a new journey we needed to explore.

Leave a CommentThe devil’s ignorance is such that, despite his intentions, he has become a teacher to humanity. His every action is a lesson in what harms us and keeps us from peace and joy. This foolishness has become our roadmap to enlightenment. So, do not fear the darkness when it swirls about, but instead rejoice, as you note the direction it beckons and then set a course in the opposite direction.

You can be positive or negative in any situation. The thing to acknowledge is that the situation doesn’t care. It has no power to control you, only the power to exist. Now think about that the other way. You could be completely controlled by the situation without the option to be positive or negative and have no power other than to exist. Choice is power. It is the only force that offers any control in every situation.

Everything you truly desire is on the other side of struggle. Everything you need to overcome adversity is on this side of strength. Everything else between those two points is perseverance.

Leave a CommentWe tend to measure life in hours and years. This implies an urgency to accomplish and succeed before it runs out. How different a course our lives might take if we measured life in distance. This measure implies that the only limit is the one we create if we choose there are no directions to explore with accomplishments we care to seek.

Anger is one of those tools that has very few purposes. Much like an axe, it can be used in so many destructive ways that do more harm than any one tool should. But when it’s used correctly for its intended purpose, it’s exactly the right tool to accomplish the task.

Nothing we earn, achieve, or acquire will remember us after we pass. All of it will fade away or become the property of another. The memories and words we leave with others will be traces that attach to their souls and the only personal part of us we leave behind. Tomorrow only exists for those who have left a part of today with others.

Leave a CommentLife is uncertain it seems; a wilderness full of risks to be traversed. But risks are steppingstones leading to fate once we start taking them. And fate is not idle, but patient waiting for us, keeping us company, walking with us. And though we may not know our fate, it knows us. It shows us the way through the pitfalls in the wilderness leading us to what we call risks and what it knows is fulfilment.

Leave a CommentSometimes you’re going to lose the rhythm. Sometimes the notes are not going to make any sense and it’s going to sound more like noise than anything melodic. There will be times when you have no partner and other times when the beat fades away. But dance anyway because to the composer of life’s music, your dance is everything.

Leave a CommentClose your eyes and remember a time when you didn’t feel fear. Think about the freedom you felt in that moment without the grip of something dark clutching your emotions. Think back on the simplicity without stress and a relief that seemed to surround you. Ponder on the calmness of that moment. Now open your eyes and think of everything that is happening in your life. What is that you see which you given the power to ever take that peace from you?
