At times we all struggle through life, but we are not alone. There are those around us who will listen and help if we share.
We must always strive to be the keepers of our own destiny. It is a singular human right that we must protect regardless of the circumstance. And, so long as we don’t hinder or hurt others, all of us should have the right to pursue a future where dreams can become reality.
True hope means never giving into despair and working through life regardless of how difficult things may appear. The destination we reach may not be the one originally chosen, but it will be all the more satisfying because we had the courage to fight back against the darkness.
In a complex globe the simple message of peace and understanding can still resonate if we just open our hearts. We all form the human collective and, while it is sometimes difficult, wouldn’t the world be a far better place if we focused on our similarities, not our differences.
Success does not always take the form we anticipated. It can occur at the most unexpected of times and in the rarest of places. And for that reason our achievements, regardless of how small or large, should always be celebrated for what we have #accomplished.
In these times of often confusing words and actions it is good to remember that each of us, if we choose to, can control our destiny. The path may not always be clear, and there will be setbacks, but if we stay true to the vision we have for ourselves the dream can be reached.
It may be daunting but sometimes the best way forward is to walk the unfamiliar path and have no regrets about the outcome. Whatever it brings, we can at least know within ourselves that we dared to live out our dream. And there is always tomorrow for a new adventure.
We may take different paths but ultimately all of us are travelers on the road of life. How much better would the world be if we recognized the humanity in each other? If only we could focus on our many similarities and not, when viewed against reality, our minor differences.
There will be those who question what we seek to accomplish. The answer is to stay true to our dreams. The path forward may be long and unyielding. But if we remain faithful to what we truly believe is our #destiny, success will come –possibly when least expected.
There isn’t a day that goes by in which we are called on to make choices and presented with the opportunity to shape our continuing destiny. We should strive for the independence to ensure the decisions made are our own as we journey toward making our dream a reality.
