To Muse

The following are some of my introspective thoughts.  They may or may not make sense to some or all of you.  There are many levels of enlightenment. Revelations may occur you when you fully realize what is being said.  I believe we should try to achieve understanding during our lifetime. Hence; we should strive to grow; mentally, physically, and spiritually.

We are constantly changing… why resist this by trying to hold on to an idea of yourself… Let go… Swim in life and appreciate it’s waves of change when they wash over you. “Life is a journey not a destination.”

~o~

The worse part about pretending that you have no trouble is that in doing so it sometimes causes more trouble than you began with.  Remember, problems in life are merely opportunities to learn and grow. Be mindful of your thoughts, and try to recognize and resolve your problems.

~o~

We all have to get there together. If you win I win. We are all of, within, about, and a part of the same thing. In essence; I’m am you and you are me.  Love is the way.

The Fight Within

An old Cherokee was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A battle is raging inside me … it is a terrible fight between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The old man fixed the children with a firm stare. “This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”

They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee replied: “The one you feed.”
