Surviving all the trials mentioned and perhaps some not mentioned,through this particular time of my life, I am greatly ashamed for ever feeling sorry for myself.We all should be ashamed for feeling sorry for ourselves because our lives are not going the way we want them to. We are blessed to be alive and to be healthy. If we possess those two gifts then we should take them
and run with them.
The world is yet to be explored by us. We should do everything possible to use those gifts until one day we find ourselves no longer able. We should one day be able to look back on how we used our own personal gifts to touch the lives of others who are truly less fortunate than us. If we are focused on helping others than we will forget our own problems. What an outlet to have to forget our own burdens for a while; helping others in the same way that we crave to be helped, being the shoulder to lean on that you need so desperately to cry on, saving the life of someone who has not had the chance to live yet and showing them how to find their way back to reality... all the while finding your own destiny along the way.
God has a plan and purpose for us all, but He does not want us to sit idly by and wait for something to happen. He gave us the smarts to have faith that he would walk us through the decisions that we must make, to understand that it is for a purpose, and to take action for others. In turn, He will clear the path for us if it is where we are meant to be, and He will shut the doors and make it utterly impossible to conquer if it is not the path that is not meant for us.
Take your gifts, caress them with thanks, and allow the visions they give you to bloom.
