Wisdom: Struggles & Significance
Feb

Impromptu Letters, Musings | gratitude, greatness, struggle
“When I was 17, I thought I wanted to do something great with my life.”
I had no idea that great meant being grateful – sharing the small acts of gratitude on a daily basis. I struggled with the selfish need to be a great man and wound up seeing greatness inside my day through a multitude of family, forgiveness and a sense that everything was as it should be – in the moment of time.
Life no longer begs a struggle, rather it surrenders to it, knowing if we drift into self we drift away from ever caring what struggle can really, lovingly manifest in our life.
When life sums up or presents a simple lesson, when it speaks to you and touches your heart, we should choose to listen. Each day presents something intrinsic to our path, as will “Short wisdom”. Your feedback to include shorter “pearls of wisdom” will sum up and link to a 500 word “impromptu letter”. A weekly feature will still be submitted on Sunday’s or Monday’s!
Many thanks!
