“Everything you want is on the other side of fear.” ~ Jack Canfield
If folks criticize you because you’re not like everyone else, you’re probably on the right path. You’ll know if it’s the right path. The path will speak to you and unveil it’s secrets as you move deeper into it.
We humans are a strange lot. Some of us are an open book. We hold nothing back, it’s all there to read. Some of us are closed up tighter than Fort Knox. We fear letting people getting too close us. We fear any self-disclosure. And, there are lots of folks in-between the two extremes. It’s what make every relationship unique and interesting. The more we build trust with each other, the more we’re willing to disclose little pieces of ourselves. In great relationships, each person knows the other even better than they know themselves.
The amount of determination is directly proportional to the success in achieving goals and capturing dreams. A determined man or woman cannot be defeated or destroyed. He or she will find a way through, over, or around any obstacle..
At times it’s good to wander and move without purpose keeping an open mind. You never know what you’ll find or the exciting adventure it will take you on. Wandering helps to awaken the child’s mind within. If you’re the creative sort, watch for a torrent of creative streams flooding toward you as you wander.
Each generation has their tough times. My parents grew up during the great depression and World War II. They lived during tough times. Today, we live with the effects of climate change, a pandemic, cultural clashes, and terrorism. How we meet the challenges of our times defines our generation. Complaining and condemning doesn’t solve the issues. Cooperation, hard work, and patient endurance will see us through.
Take their best shot and smile. Keep on moving. You’re stronger than you imagine. Life has made you tough but kept your gentle side alive and well.
The questions we ask give us the answers we are seeking. if it’s not working out, we may be asking the wrong questions. Keep asking different questions and seeking their answers until things start working out the way you want them to work out.
