One of the greatest weapon that any warrior or fighter can ever have in his wars at battles is no less than forgiveness.  Since the time of the early Greeks and Romans, they believe that the most powerful weapon that they could ever give to their enemies is no less than forgiveness.  In the history of mankind, the greatest story which was ever told was on how Jesus Christ offered himself as a ransom for many.  He shed his precious blood on the cross in order for us to attain forgiveness from the Father.

Jesus was crucified to fulfill the mission of god the Father.  Jesus’ crucifixion is the apex of the salvation of mankind.  Had Jesus not been crucified or resisted crucifixion, humanity will remain in darkness and everyone will eternally be damned to hell.  The theology of His crucifixion is said to be the most profound and deep for all Christians and it is one thing that humanity should be very thankful about.  This mystery of crucifixion brings us hope and joy, an event in human history that is marvelous yet misunderstood, wonderfully amazing yet shameful in a sense for all the Jewish community.

To be crucified during the time of Jesus is the worst punishment that a criminal will undergo.  That was the primary reason why many faithful followers of Jesus after his crucifixion wavered and dwindled.  But soon after, He resurrected and changed the course of history.  He brought that enormous light that signals our total redemption and being saved.

Nothing therefore could even beat the perfect message of Christ’s crucifixion simply because from that somber mountain of the Calvary life and death got a new and momentous meaning.  His blood shed on the cross, his precious life offered for mankind can never be surpassed by any other human feat or deed.  Can you imagine a son of God offering Himself on the shameful cross naked and insulted for a sin He in fact is never responsible?

Well, from shame, the cross now assumes the symbol of love.  Christians draw from the cross the merciful and healing love which it gives through the power of Jesus’ blood.  It goes without saying then that as followers of this one true God, Jesus Christ, we must never be ashamed to suffer like Him and follow all His divine footsteps towards the cross.  After all this perfect example shown to us by Christ will eventually lead us to resurrection.  The glory of being an apostle of Christ is reached after the crucifixion.  All of our pains and difficulties here on earth will eventually be rewarded in the life here after.  Thus let us all work hand in hand in bringing the message of the cross through all the earth, shouting, chanting, celebrating for this precious redemption God the Son has unselfishly shared to us.  Only then could we be truly worthy of His love, mercy and redeeming grace shed on the cross by His most precious blood.

In conclusion, we too must be like Jesus, the Savior for the Christians, a great prophet for the Muslims and a revered person for other religions of the world.  His sweetest revenge is ultimately forgiveness of man’s sinfulness.  Life will truly be wonderful with forgiveness reigning in our hearts.  Happy weekend!

Success and financial prosperity is not just a privilege of the chosen few, nor of those born with a golden spoon in their mouth. Abundance is not limited to just a few people. Ordinary people such as yourself can easily achieve abundance if you believe you can.

Indeed, when you say abundance it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is limited or achievable only by rich and famous people. Ordinary people like you and me can also experience abundance if we actually desire so. Not to mention that if we actually work hard for it, we too can be abundant in so many ways.  The starting key to this journey is: TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

Let us talk about the following people who in spite of their situation were able to make themselves rise above it and are now living life full of success and are considered to be wealthy:

J.K. Rowling – Who doesn’t know this remarkable separated single mom once almost desperate? We all know her as the famous Harry Potter series writer. But did you know that she wasn’t always rich? That it took her cafe after another cafe to actually finish her first book? Her book were also rejected, things did not actually turn good for her overnight. It was her faith and belief that what she has written is worth sharing to this world. Now, J. K. Rowling is worth over $1.1 Billion not to mention that she was able to sold over 400 million books across the globe.  Sounds incredible and Herculean?  No way, you too can follow her footsteps in so many ways.

Chris Gardner – This man’s life is extra commendable! His name may not be familiar to you, but if you have seen the movie “In pursuit of Happiness” you will remember him. Chris basically lost everything, his wife, the money he saved and invested in medical supplies, his home and his everything except for his child. He did not let his situation drown him. Instead he uses that as his motivation to achieve abundance in life. When every one else had turn their backs to getting second chances, Chris strived and struggled to make things right not just for him, but mainly for the sake of his child. Now Chris is a successful businessman, and this can be attributed to his hard work and faith, that something good will come his way as well.  Isn’t it great to know ordinary people who are inspired by this very story of Mr. Gardner?  Why don’t you follow his great feat!

Oprah Winfrey - Now, who doesn’t know about famous Oprah? Even kids today know about her. But did you know that before she became a big star, that she was actually from a poor family? She was born to teenagers who gave her to her grandmother because of poverty. Her grandmother is poor as well, hence at some point; she was given back to her mother again. Oprah was once a rebel, but she was a good student. She strived hard to achieve where she is now.

Truly, you can never tell what the future may bring to you, yet you can make it as bright as you want it to be.  These people are only a dot in the list of successful rags to riches stories. Now, if they were able to achieve abundance despite of their poverty, why can’t we? We actually can bring abundance to our lives, only and if only we will welcome it. Not to mention that if we too work hard and never give up like them, we indeed can achieve greatness and abundance as well.

Moreover, let us always remember this, “life is too short for us to waste it.”  Life is too precious for us not make it great. Best of all, we only get to live this life once. So why waste it? Why allow poverty to ruin it for us? When all of us can easily beat poverty with hard work; determination; patience; positive thinking and by believing that you are born great, strive now or never!

As a conclusion, let go of your fears, let go of your negative thoughts, let go of the things that are stopping you from achieving and manifesting abundance. If you do so, then you will notice a huge difference in your life. You will then start attracting abundance and wealth. However, once you have it all, never forget where you came from. Never allow it to ruin you as well. Cause things can be easily taken away from you if you do not learn how to value it. Do you want to continue to let negative thoughts and emotions control your life, or would you like to learn a powerful technique that will show you how to harness the power of your mind so that you could have inner peace, loving relationships, and financial abundance in your life? Find out how.  The sun will always shine brightly whether you’re rich or poor, hence there is nothing wrong to try dealing with your poverty!

A lot of people are sometimes getting the bad things they expect in life, simply because those are the very same things that they are thinking over and over again.  The same is true with positive thoughts. Optimism is power.  With anything that the mind can conceive, the body can achieve.  If you want to live longer, be happy, healthy and successful, all you have to do is tell yourself that you can do it by tapping the healing forces within. There is no greater joy than a healthy, positive life. You feel exhilarated, energetic, happy and on top of the world. A sense of total well-being permeates your mind. The future looks bright. You feel good to be alive.

Great, but how do we get out of our innumerable worries, tensions and fears that the increasingly competitive life burdens us with? Simple! Tell yourself that you are good, healthy and capable. That is the power of positive affirmations.

Such affirmations are also called self-suggestions. It is a powerful tool for transforming your inner self into an amazing health generating, self-healing entity. You can record these affirmations on a tape synchronized with pleasant instrumental music and replay them often to make them more effective and permanent.

Psychology says that our mind controls our body. So, taking charge of your mind becomes a vital factor in keeping your body healthy. You can do this through affirmations that establish the power of your mind. Try: “With the power of positive thinking I now take charge of my body to maintain perfect health, strength and happiness unconditionally, now and always, so be it.” When you repeat this, the misleading programs of your mind will be erased.

It is said that we are never given a wish without the power to fulfill it. Each person is capable of programming his own mind to achieve what he desires. You can tap this capability by following a few simple steps. But before you begin, make yourself totally relaxed and be consciously willing to adopt the method.

Attuning yourself with nature guarantees an overall healthy life. To modify this statement into an affirmation, say: “I attune myself with nature to stay healthy now and forever.”

You can have the right kind of food by affirming: “I can attract healthy food to keep myself fit, healthy and strong, everyday.”

You can develop the habit of exercising your body and mind by affirming: “I can easily get up early in the morning everyday to exercise and keep fit and cheerful.”

In case you are an insomniac, all you have to do is repeat: “I can relax into sound sleep now and wake up revitalized, alert, bright and cheerful early in the morning. It is done. So be it.”

Sometimes, social influences play their part in either inducing or encouraging negative thinking. This is the stage where most doctors give up the case as incurable. So, to find the right doctor, suggest mentally to yourself: “I will locate the right doctor who can cure me completely in a simple, easy and positive way, now and always.“

Your health problems can be dissolved by affirming: “I can now dissolve all my health problems, worries and fears easily, quickly and successfully in simple, easy and positive ways. So be it.“

Unlike sleeping, magnetic relaxation requires you to be physically at rest but subconsciously alert. When your conscious mind is relaxed, the positive suggestions seep into your subconscious. To achieve maximum benefit from relaxation:  Sit in a comfortable chair or lie down on a bed. Let go of all the tension by repeating to yourself: “I can now relax comfortably. I can now relax my body. I can now relax my mind. Easily, quickly and positively. Now I can enjoy the state of alert relaxation peacefully.“

As a conclusion, never forget how important positive thinking is in your life. Take this practice to improve your way of thinking.  Let a feeling of soothing comfort take over.  Let go of yourself totally. Feel a universal healing energy surrounding you and getting absorbed into your body and mind.  Feel a cool breeze around your body. Visualize a white sparkling light pouring through your head down your body and seeping deep within you.  Think that soothing and healing forces are vibrating within and radiating from you.  Maintain a positive and peaceful state of mind during the session. Also, take precautions that you are not disturbed.  Mentally repeat to yourself: “Day by day in every way I’m getting better and better and better.”

Happy friendship day to each and every one of us! It’s weekend once again, a time to refresh our tired bodies and mind.  This article will respond to this basic need of relaxing our thoughts at least once a week. There are no born perfect individual, there are only people who practice well that made them make perfect things. The saying goes: The expert in anything was once a beginner in everything. Truer words were never spoken. But this isn’t what we see. This isn’t what we feel when we watch these Olympians. It isn’t what we think when we watch any expert or great success.

Indeed, we see the finished product, shining brightly in designer packaging. We see triumph and achievement, not training. We see the riches, not the rags. And this, as much as anything else, is why motivation – that inner drive that carries us toward all we desire – continues to escape us.

Today that comes to an end. Today I will open your eyes to a new way of viewing the changes you wish to carry out and the challenges that are attempting to stop you. The Olympians we admire might possess unique physical talent and natural gifts, but that inner fire that compels them forward is within us all. It’s time to set it free.

Authors Don’t Write Books. Whether it’s a a friend who lost forty pounds or a track star streaking across the screen, our eyes can only see what is in front of us. And more often than not, that picture of success is daunting. It’s overwhelming, to see ourselves reaching those heights. No, it’s more than that. It’s unbelievable.

When we view success at its peak, we feel separated from it. We see ourselves as incapable of doing something similar. Take a book, for instance. Seeing a novel on a shelf leads to the same conclusion in the minds of anyone posed with the question: ‘Oh, I could never write a book.’

This view is all wrong. The reason? Authors don’t write books. What Do Authors Write? Authors don’t write books; authors write words. This is one of the most important ideas to understand. I know it sounds simple, but it separates those who progress from those who wish and wait.

We’ve already said that most see the finished product and feel overwhelmed by the prospect of achieving the same goal. If this only occurred when watching an Olympic athlete, there would be little issue. But that’s not how it works. We get that same sense of inability when viewing any worthwhile achievement. Losing weight, finding a new career, starting a business or new relationship, overcoming personal debt – these are outcomes millions wish to pursue but don’t believe they can achieve.

They can’t see past the finished product.  To get motivated, to truly ignite your drive, you must see your goals as achievable. You must believe in yourself and your abilities. You must see success, not as a matter of unattainable greatness, but merely as a matter of time. Losing weight begins with a single decision. Finding the job you love begins with a single Google search. And starting a new relationship begins with a single look.

As a conclusion, the world is built upon blocks, not one massive stone.  One step, one movement, one decision, one action. These are the things that feed success. These are things that you can do today.  Hence, while the iron is hot and the opportunity is still at your sight, go and master yourself in perfecting all your God-given talents and crafts.  Don’t ever say you can’t do it until you have tried a thousand and one times!  Happy weekend!

The famous middle ages and highly revered St. Thomas Aquinas once said: “the eyes are the windows of the soul”.  This famous expression is indeed true.  No matter how much we try in succeeding in life, we always need concrete and stable direction in order to attain our most cherished goal and destination.  We must therefore exercise constant concentration and focus in getting that aim no matter how difficult and rough the road maybe and no matter what it cost.

Coupled with focus and perseverance we simply need consistency in order to reach our dreams.  Sidharta Gautama Buddha and Jesus Christ are two perfect paragons and models in view of keeping one’s eyes on target.  They knew first and foremost of what exactly they want to achieve.  They prayed over it in order to discern if it is really meant for them and if is actually something that they need in order to progress with life.

Hence, the most basic part in this regard is no less than choosing and deciding what do we really want to do in life, what things do I want to achieve, where shall I exactly want to go…  Unless these things or issues are not clear to you then there is no reason why to keep your eyes on any particular target whatsoever.  If we have no particular and concrete aim in life, we will then be likened to a sailboat without a sail, something that floats here and there and has no exact destination to go…in short we will not go anywhere at all in life.

Our dreams are meant to make us complete, happy and satisfied. They are also meat to make us the best people that we can be.  Without this dream and the right motivation to attain it, we will never be happy at all in this life.  Life is a journey, and we simply need proper guidance and inspiration to make our pilgrim a worthwhile one.

Though we may stumble and fall from one hindrance to the next, we then must be conscious of the reason why we are sacrificing all these years, giving up so many valuable things we want so much, that is, if only to take a peek and finally grab and enjoy the most important part of all with this journey, namely, our dreams and thee realization of it.

In conclusion, we need to fix our gaze, our attention, our whole mind and body, our eyes and everything about us in view of this one sole goal, the dream of all our dreams so that one day, when everything gets cleared and when we finally get our aim we will have a sigh of relief and say to ourselves and the people who matter to us that your one single secret of making it to this finish line is no other than having your eyes on target.

Happy and grace-filled weekend once again to you dear friends!!! As you relax and get energized and continue with your journey bodily and spiritually, don’t forget that there is only one thing that truly matters from the beginning ‘til the end…GOD.  If you find Him you will find everything and lack nothing.  I just want you to know that I have so much trust in you as a person who possesses all the gifts and blessings from our Supreme Being, the creator of all, to become the best that you can be. I’m so glad to tell you that our topic for today is from the well- known Swami Vivekananda ,who is indeed a great person with great knowledge and wisdom.In fact, he just read a book one time and was able to remember throughout his life time what has been written in that particular book with the exact location or in what particular page.  This only shows that he is indeed a man of pure intelligence and obviously a man of knowledge.

Now let us try now to ponder the saying he once uttered which is actually out tile for this article,“You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.”  True indeed, how can you believe in a God whom you do not see and not believe first in yourself whom you actually see and feel and hear and the like?  As the famous philosopher Plato once said: “everything should start from within…”  Meaning to say, it is in and from yourself that all the things around you revolves.  The amount of faith or belief you have in yourself is also the same measure that you will have faith in your God and with your neighbor.

As you go on your with your life , take this opportunity of believing in yourself to heart, seriously and well. Remember, not everyone could have this precious chance of being aware that you need to believe in yourself first and foremost in order to do well with the rest of life.  The best way on how to do this is to retrospect, to meditate, to go back with yourself, to retreat…retreating back to oneself…confronting our issues, forgiving ourselves, others and counting all our blessings. All these combined will eventually help us understand and know who really we are and finally believe and have faith with ourselves.

Make then this step of retreating, a truly worthwhile experience, look back to your past life and examine how did you spend it.  If you will present such life you lived, do you think you could put a happy smile in God’s face?  If so, then ask for more blessings to keep you constantly in His grace and love…if not it is up to you to decide whom you wish to smile at the kind of life you are living now and for the rest of your stay on earth. I know you want God to be happy like anyone else…prove to Him that you are worthy of the blessings He showered upon you, most especially of having an excellent family, business and life in general.  Thank Him that no matter what, in spite and despite of all our imperfections and weaknesses, our stubbornness and selfishness of our imperfect families, of our struggles, pains and hurts, God never ceases to be with us and to love and be madly in love with us!  Isn’t it great to know that we are continually loved by Someone who has created us?  Hence it’s accounting time…let us now check and balance our lives…the very life God gave us to be spent in loving service not only for our loved ones but also to the rest of His creation…We are His stewards, thus we should become good caretakers of everything we have.  Let us add our list of friends and good works, multiply our good and charitable examples, subtract our sinfulness and pride, lust, anger, being selfish and the like.

In conclusion, believing in oneself is therefore the key towards believing with our God.  Hence, now that we know this let us therefore be at peace with ourselves and eventually be at peace with God… only then all things will have its proper place and order…let go and let God control of your life, then you will never wander or feel empty sad and bitter…if you could do this tall order, then you deserve a hats off.  Happy weekend folks!

face of challenges

The old proverb once states: “if it rains, it really falls…”  Life indeed is never a bed of roses.  There are moments that we are down the wheel, but surely one day we will be up there again…as we journey with life, we encounter various states of life, joys, sorrows, excitements, depressions, guilt, bliss, shame, anger, and many more.  When confronted with challenges and trials, we tend to loss heart, give up and wallow in the mud of desperation.  We almost always forget the countless moments when we are happy, full of blessings, laughing to our heart’s content, as if the world and our lives will never end.  We tend to forget too that in this life borrowed to us by our Creator, nothing is permanent except change, and change alone!

Human as we are, why can’t we be tough and conscious always that after the rain the rainbow will rise up in the sky, smiling at us and wiping away our tears.  We may be in hardship situations, but it’s not the be all and end all of life and of everything.  Instead of losing hope, why can’t we turn our sorrows and tears into sturdy stepping stones were we can use them as instruments of learning the lessons of life.  We may be heavy hearted once in a while most especially if what we want or wish for are not carried out the way we want them to be.  These are called challenges.  Yet challenges are not meant to dampen our spirits, instead it should make us stronger and more mature in facing more of life’s battles.

Napoleon Bonaparte, the greatest and most famous leader of battles and war had faced numerous challenges in his lifetime from the moment he was born up to his becoming a warrior, his life were a succession of one challenge to another.  However, he had a winning attitude.  He viewed his trials as opportunities to grow and become the best person that he can be.  His secret: “JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF”.

Hence, if we only believe in our strengths, capabilities and skills, no storm can ever put us down, no pain can ever dampen our soul, no worry can ever move us to retreat, no tears can shun us away, no failure can make us give up, no depression can beat us, no darkness can makes us turn off our hopes, no sorrow can make us say: “enough is enough, I’m gonna give up, it’s game over”…

In conclusion, challenges can actually give us more good than bad things, only if we really know and practice the secret to become victorious in all our life’s battles, that is…to believe in ourselves no matter what the case may be.

One of the most time-tested philosophy of the most successful people around the world is “patience makes you reach to the stars”  This simply means to say that if we are always patient or happily industrious with everything we do and all the things that come our way, then realizing our dreams will never become impossibility.  In life, patience makes a great difference between two people who may be happy in life.  If someone is happy just because he has all the riches he aimed through patient labour, then such man will have a happiness that may last for a lifetime.  This man will certainly value so much and take good care of all the things he got in life through hard work and patience itself.  On the other hand, a person who is happy with his riches may not be completely enjoying such richness simply because the happiness in having all his wealth was not a product of hard work and patience.  Perhaps his parents or a fortune or luck may have given him the chance to get rich.

The most patient people in the world are the Chinese.  They get rich by patiently earning even from one single cents out of their profit.  Their secret formula in success with their business is to be patient in earning even if it’s a small amount, because later on you will reap the harvest of being patient.

Another very famous worldwide example which we can imitate with this positive attitude of being patient is our very own and India’s pride, Mother Theresa of Calcutta.  She is undoubtedly a perfect model of patience.  Before becoming a nun she suffered a lot of things in her life which she simply took with a grain of salt and very patiently.  Mother Theresa showed to the world how patient could make all your heart’s desires come true and how it can change the world.  She patiently served the lowliest and outcast of society.  She saw to it that people are not alone in facing all of their sufferings and even in their deaths.  She took to their shelters those who were unwanted by their families, rejected by society, afflicted with sicknesses such as aids, the poor, the hungry, the naked, the thirsty in short all of India’s unfortunate people.  Like Jesus, Mother Theresa showed utmost patience in loving the unlovable, serving the outcast, caring them up to the point of forgetting her own needs and her own self.  The world has nothing but praises to this perfect example of patience personified.  She was even regarded during her lifetime as the “living saint”.  Because of her patience the Church recognize Mother Theresa as one among her saints, with a capital “S”, Saint!

As a conclusion, let us always remember that patience indeed is a virtue, and a powerful virtue at that that can transform a society in the long run.  It can also make you a saint and reach heaven.  We must therefore make patience as one of the pillars of our life principles.  We must exercise this virtue every so often so that one day we will not regret all the things that may happen to our lives.  Let us make Mother Theresa and her patient works as our model.  Only then can we truly become happy individuals.

As the famous old saying goes, you are what you think.  Indeed what our mind can conceive our body will always achieve.  The mind therefore is the most powerful vital body organ that we have.   Our minds could either make us or break us.  But most importantly, our words could make us worse.  Words as some people say are mightier than the sword.

Take for instance Jose Rizal who fought the Spaniards not with arms but with words through his writings.  His deeds liberate the Filipino nation from corruption to total democracy and liberty.  Also take the example of Nelson Mandela and  East Timer President Jose Ramos Horta who both made a difference in their respective countries by the words they spoke, chosen words which they thoroughly pondered on and thought about very carefully.

Psychologists and other wise authors suggest that there is a natural correlation between our mind and our mouths.  Whatever comes to our mind, we always translate them into words through speaking or communicating.   All our actions are basically governed by our thinking.  It is the power of the mind that dictates us on what to do and what to say.

However, this is not always the case.  People in one way or another and because of some unavoidable circumstances has this not so good tendency of talking even before thinking.  Once you are in extreme emotion, either you are so angry, so happy, so sad and the like, you have this urge to do things and speak out words even without thinking first of its consequences.

Because of the adrenalin rush, you sometimes release words that are similar to bullets or which can be compared to swords that may hurt or affect badly other people.  Cursing is one concrete example.  Psychologists believe that if you curse, most often than not you are in fact doing it or have done it out of the blue, or in short, without thinking the situation thoroughly.  This event eventually could lead us to suffer various consequences let’s say for instance , breaking the good relationship with the person whom we cursed, being sued in court may be for libel, being hurt back in return, being guilty afterwards for speaking without thinking at all.

The wise men and sages of old has this advise, when you are in extreme emotions, don’t talk at all, you better find a place to be by yourself and think hard about the situation, if this could not be possible, then force yourself to sleep and reserve what you wish to talk the moment you wake up..In this way you will surely avoid conflicts of every sort.

As a conclusion, we must guard our speech with intelligent and logical thinking.  We must think ten times or more before acting things out or speaking things out.  Let’s ask ourselves, if I’ll speak these words to this person, what will he feel about it?  And if the same words will be spoken to me, will I be happy or angry?   If we will always do this practice, we will go on happy with life and never regret with anything.

This special article that I would like to share with you is something that comes from the bottom of my heart, something that is truly cherished because it is something coming from the lessons I learned from life.  Here we are going to explain that why you should always take tough challenges.

This is I believe one of the key secrets of living a meaningful and successful life  to always take every challenge with a brave attitude and hopeful heart.  Since we were child, out parents used to teach us to stand every time we fall, not to give up when life’s going gets rough.  Their faith and trust in our abilities made us fight with our battles in life whether small or significant.  Our parents implanted in us that sense of courage which we always carry as we grow and mature.
In moments of difficult situations we sometimes think that we are weak enough to overcome it, we have the tendency to give up the battle even before it starts.  We then should not forget the wisdom and golden rule our parents and loved ones had inculcated in our minds and in our heart.  Hence, let’s not end any struggle before it has started lest we will have lots of regrets and end up as losers. No matter what happens, we should always believe in ourselves and our great capacity to face bravely all life challenges most especially the tough ones.

This is the best kept secret of so many successful personalities in history.  The famous Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi projected and concertized this attitude very well in his life.  He never surrendered to the British invaders.  He never allowed those foreigners to control him. He stood still composed and brave, dignified and hopeful. Those were indeed very tough and difficult times, yet he showed as a way in facing and dealing even with seemingly impossible to conquer challenges.  He showed as the example of non-violence which eventually bore fruit and marked a legacy not only to India but to the whole world.

Let us always make Gandhi as our model.  Let’s follow his noble witnessing in braving every trial that come our way whether in family matters, business affairs, love relationship issues, health problems or simply personal struggles.  Let us always take tough challenges in the best way possible.  Let us bear in mind that we will never face any challenge which we cannot overcome or conquer.  But beyond this optimistic attitude, it is very interesting to note as well that any tough challenge would be easy as a pie if we face and deal it with other people who may be facing the same difficulties most especially our loved ones.  After all as one famous author aptly put it, “we are but like angels with one wing, we could only fly by embracing each other…”

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it–always. -Mahatma Gandhi
