Look Ahead

“Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely
with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

-----------because------------------


"Cowardice asks the question Is it safe?
Expediency asks the question is it politic?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But conscience asks the question is it right?

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right."

Life or Death

Life will not always be sweet,
that's why down is the opposite of UP.
It will not forever be a bed or roses,
the ground that produces roses grows thorns.

Rain Sunshine,
Hot Cold,
Slow Fast,
Like Dislike,
Love Hate,
Rich Poor,
Life Death,
Free Bond,
…and so on.

Is it really a case of opposition?
Must there be a fall for every rise?
Can it forever be dusk without dawn?
maybe life always… without death?

Life is never a game,
It is a race.
I run the race daily to satisfy, to please, to care, to love and do all I can for my life and that of others around me.
I have lived to find out that; even in the face of love, there’s hate, in the gathering of plenty, there’s want, in a room of joy, sadness maybe in the corner.
Then, how shall we do this world?
Is there anything to make this place a perfect place where it will forever be what we want?


Uhmmmmmm,
That’s why it’s a race.
A race where you don’t win always,
But have opportunities to learn from the loss, disappointment and unfair treatment.
Then, I’ll hold my life in my hands and control all I can leaving behind what I cannot because I have the God’s given ability to direct my thoughts, control my emotions and ordain my destiny.

Thank you Lord for the gift of life and the ability to choose.
