I wrote this back in 2009 ~ thought it would be worth the rewrite here.
We all know within each of us we have the power to be better human beings. We have the ability to rise above those things that would drag us down. When we don't allow ourselves to demonstrate our God given talents & gifts we become unfocused and unhappy. Being in this state of consciousness can often lead us into directions that have nothing to do with who we really are or what we really want, therefore we become even more lost, unhappy, and just plain sad. The walls are built up along with the anger giving way to a dam that breaks open to only effect those around us who we have chosen to love on this earth's journey.
The way to make this world a better place - is to start within yourself. Break down the walls, find the path back to who you really are and see with child-like eyes the absolute beauty of this world and the universe as a whole. Don't forget that you also, are a part of this absolute beauty.
It begins within. One mantra that helps me often is "let go and let God"
~ Peace & Light!
