to one another
are sealed in the secret
vaults of heaven.
One day like rain,

and grow green
all over the world .”

Always ready to extend a hand
To wipe a tear, to hold and hug
The people with kind hearts give
They are ready to share and they really care
Be ready to help
Always be kind

When we first start a new endeavor, our ultimate success or failure is often even odds. Tipping the scales in our favor comes from putting our best effort towards our goal. A dogged determination helps us through setbacks and challenges, and an optimistic attitude keeps our spirits lifted.

Setting and striving for a goal, giving it our lazar focus, our finest effort is noble. By doing the best we can, we become a better, more confident, and we never need to wonder “what if.” In life, daily work improves us and defines success. Look around and admire the fruits of your labor.
How can you do your best today?

Truth seeks out itself
Truth is able to enable
The seeker with reserve
To bear and see-through
The facades of illusions.
For truth knows itself
That it lies embedded
Enshrouded and embalmed
To reveal itself unscathed.
Truth cannot be restrained & shackled
In imagination and indecision.
Truth cannot be locked and chained
In the doubts of insecurities.
Truth is within & out there
The truth appears when it wants
To touch the core of the being.
Truth knows and understands.
Truth hurts and heals itself.
