Recent events in my own life have caused me to look at and ponder upon what direction I might like to take, moving forward.
Although I am blessed with many skills and many options, I am finding out that I also have a lot of baggage and a long way to go.
As I get older I find that this is good. It suggests that perhaps I am not done yet.
It feels good to be needed and as long as I have something to give, there is still a place for me here. There is always more to be done.
This might require that I keep an open mind and that I take good care of myself.
I should not forget to always try to make things better and to work for the common good.
I should not expect perfection in myself or others. I hope to always foster Good Intentions in myself and by example, in others.
I also see the importance of Joy, Humor and Compassion in order to foster thoughts, feelings, and actions that create an all encompassing ‘Us’ instead of ‘Us versus Them’.
Sometimes even a little bit can do a lot!
We have the power to make a better future and this thought can sustain Hope!
Namaste,
(May the Light within me honor the Light within You),
Daniel
