LIFE'S CONTRASTS
Unless he or she choose to make it so, no one's life need be completely “blah.”
Much of what our lives turn out to be can be cataloged as being "acquired" rather than "native". If you find your advancing years weighting more toward the dull side you must remember who may have engendered much of such a fault.
We should expect contrasts and changes on our lives as part of normal growth leading toward to better conditions. Rather than any attempt to quell them; trying to prevent history from happening, is wind mill you tilt against with unlimited futility.
Changes are going to come into your life regardless of what you may do, and you need to be prepared, in a way, as they arise. You need
to be prepared to activate them properly, as well and as soon as they arrive.
I think of this situations so often during the month of June when our newspapers seem to almost overflow with specifics concerning engagements and weddings. Many of them are based on promises made one to the other.
Promises, I feel, are properly shared - not given.
Turn to any other page in the same newspaper reporting all those wedding reports and you will find l - far too easily, that promises, agreements, binding words, and such are not listed among merits in newsworthy events of the day. Promises are not exactly what one might call "negotiable securities". They are treasures to be shared with your future progeny not your immediate "now" of your. You are not the sole person on Earth who has creation-given plans, hopes, hopes ,intents - aims and aspirations. Your share in their leaps forward, too.
It is your lifetime job to glorify your Creator. If you should choose to make all of life your very own you make it a "task", a deviant duty of-a-down-bound type, a weird worship of a false God - almost totally of your own making.
Share your many blessings.
Life in such a manner that you can stand in front of a mirror; look into your mirrored eyes and say - aloud : "I am what I am!". If you find you have to close your eyes to get away from that examination spot -some changes are in order. Now.
