Today's Food for Thought (September 8, 2017)

In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.

Soon, you'll write a new story and the script is nothing like your past. It will be a story of survival – surviving the hurt and forgetting the reason you cried and what brought the pain. It will be a story of realization – that the secret to being free is letting things unfold in their own ways and time. That all changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy. It will be a beautiful story of hope - the story of God. For He alone knows that the happiness He has for you requires taking a different path in your journey to your growth. He alone knows what you must endure to form His story in you.

Don't be a character in the story of your life. Be the AUTHOR. Don't live in the past; that's what pulls you back. Live in the present that's what keeps you going. Enjoy little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were big things. In life, we do not know the value of our moments until they have become a memory. Life is a kind of game. Once you realize this, you can do a lot of things, for the sake of learning and growth without being encumbered by the weight of negativity. Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams. Walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
