There are times when life seems to be so hard on us....
When no matter what we do or how hard we work, our dreams seem too difficult to reach.
The road looks so barren and even grasses wither...
We are left crying and groping in the dark...
Yes, I too have passed through so many trials in life...
I remember complaining, being confused and paranoid and feeling thorns on my chest.
As I walked on and passed each grueling test in life I realized several things....
FAMILY and TRUE FRIENDS are the ones who will always remain with us in whatever battle we face and HOME will always be the best place there is on Earth.
Nothing will ever beat the formula of GOODNESS and GENEROSITY in making us feel GREAT.
It is when we go the extra mile to help others that LIFE becomes meaningful.
A heart that patiently listens, a caring touch, an understanding SMILE is enough to make others feel loved and a forgiving soul who knows how it is to die on a cross and wash His brethren's feet will always be my ultimate inspiration in living a purpose-driven life...
So, yes, I do take time to just sit and watch the world go by and just immerse myself in the beauty of Creation.
The vast sky, the waves, the breeze, the birds, wet sand and huge fluffy clouds are waiting to talk to us each day....
Life is a journey, enjoy the ride...
Don't dwell on the pains of the past and spend too much time worrying about the future.
Just do your best, take time to rest and LOVE like there is no tomorrow....
your humble world never fails to inspire. so blessed ta have found my twinsoul. <3
