Today is very gloomy outside. The darkness that is attached to the rain is giving me the opportunity to reflect on what is important. I was watching a television show last night about family and in the end the husband realized that all he needed to do was look past anything petty and what he wanted was right at home. Family is important to each of us in a different way. The one link that keeps it all intertwined is Love for one another.
You forge relationships with your peers that become lasting bonds and friendships and one must learn to cherish all the moments that are sincere. God placed us on this earth for many purposes and I have always known that I am here to help someone. But in all the helping I have to embrace change and let go of the past. The past can be a dangerous thing if you let it. The thoughts of yesterday you allow to follow you can sometimes ruin your today and tomorrows. The heaviness you feel in your heart, that feeling of guilt, and the feeling of letting someone down when you can't keep allegiance to them and pay homage to their memory is what we must turn around. We must feel good about our next move and know that just because we want to say we have fallen short does not mean we have. We are our own worst critics and we condemn ourselves sometimes more than others. The light in the dark is that we realize who we are and how we matter to ourselves and others and cut ourselves a break. Human beings are creatures of habit and when you hold on to what was you block the blessings and happiness of what is. One is not a failure because you can't hold on. "Let it go!" I have heard these words echoed from many places.
