Endless Possibilities I thought I’d forget all my troubles; hiking the high hills today – but my thoughts betrayed me again – turning my hopes to bitterness until a soft voice interrupts my internal monologue: “Make your life a celebration, not cause for regret. Set a goal, a purpose, a direction then enter every situation with eyes wide open. See your endless blessings; the knowledge life has granted you: put these to better use. They will show you the beauty of a cascading mountain stream with a backdrop of jagged peaks above scraggly pines at the tree line just below the sun’s slanting rays. They will give you a sprinkling of fresh snow; the feel of a shiver as a late autumn breeze finds an opening in your collar. Is this not the dawning of a new day filled with endless possibilities? Why should you allow yesterday's thoughts to mar today's joy? If you came here to find happiness just for one day, that is all you will get but if you discover self-empowerment such happiness you will find absolutely everywhere.” |

"Make your life a celebration(!)..." [a brief candle burning brightly ... perhaps to light the way for others for at least a little while?!] ... Nemo vir est qui mundum non reddat meliorem: [What man is truly a man ... who does not make this world better?!] |
