Some things to think about…
On Sunday I took a walk along a stretch of Bank Street. My attention was caught by an advertisement that included the following:
“The highest courage is to dare to be you in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience, and truth over popularity…these are the choices that measure your life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.” Anonymous
There is much here to think about. How do we choose to measure our lives? How often do we even stop to think about our hopes and aspirations; why we hold these and what are we doing to achieve them?
Here are a few words that I penned as a prayer that reflects a framework within which an individual might dedicate time for thought and activity that will produce positive outcomes in living.
Pray to God to have the courage to face adversity in its many forms; to have the moral conviction to live under ethical principles; to search for the truth and to do what is right; to be guided by a respect for all of society, in humility and with love.
There are times during the year when individuals do make resolutions. One particular time is that of New Years day, but there is no better time to do so than this present moment. Think about this and do it now!

Is there something to add to this wonderful thought ?...you are right, the adversity, the bad events in our life make us grow, help us to understand our errors and correct them on the long way of our life...an arab old saying says "if chance knocks the ant over, it's to allow it to see the sky". we are all ants on this planet, our dramas, our errors knock us over, but they contribute to our improvement. thank you for this beautiful thought of yours, wise Lou !!!
