For What It's Worth, Part 1

Random notes on what I've learned(or am in the process of learning)in this short lifetime...
We are one with all things living...

There are worlds within our world and we can never take anything at face value...

Enlightenment is found in weakness as well as a broken heart...

In God's creation are truths worthy of contemplation...

When facing a decision, your heart must be the final authority...

God has a finely twisted sense of humor. Laugh at yourself everyday--He does...

Our circumstances are closely aligned with the lessons we must learn in this life. Bless every experience for what it has taught you. Then let go! This may be the hardest lesson to learn...

Only love endures. Only love has no boundaries, borders or expiration. It exists beyond death!

Love finds you. When it does, you must embrace it. Painful as it may well be. It is worth the pain, for the worst pain is living without love...

Pride is the antithesis of love. Love begs you to be humble. If you refuse to surrender, life will deal it's most painful blows to make you so...

Fear exists to make you cautious and thoughtful when choosing a course in life. Beyond that, it holds back the sweetest joys that may be in store for you...

This is wise and what is more powerful than love?
I know there is a line that said "we only come around
this way once" and there is no turning back, it seems.
Pride or fear are negatives that need to be pushed aside
as I see it, then you can be free to be who you were
intended to be. Great article Linda! Many thoughts to
ponder and to be considered.
Reviewed by Dave Harm 6/2/2005
Very honest and wise words... Pride is the "killer" of everything, we need a sense of humility to realize we are truly all brothers and sisters, and we need a "value" that says "Its not that we think less of ourselves, its just we think of ourselves less."
Reviewed by Karen Lynn Vidra, The Texas Tornado 6/2/2005
good one, linda! wise words for sure! :)

Wiser words have never been said. This is food for the soul, may everyone partake abundantly from it and be happy.
