To forgive
To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love.
In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.
Dr. Robert Muller
Watching
Sometimes life just happens; we either sit and watch it or we get involved.
One is no better than the other as too many people forget to stop and smell the roses, to see the beauty in the everyday things, to pick shapes out of the clouds, to count the stars.
Choosing to sit back and watch is often harder than getting involved. Getting involved means moving forward, towards something, be it good or bad there is a choice being made.
What happens when you choose neither? Does life stop happening? No, life goes on.
What life is and what we take from it is up to each individual but you will also leave something behind with each choice.
Whats more important what you take or what you leave behind?
Whose to say one way or the other?
I think what you leave behind is more important, but that's just me. I'm the type of person who likes to sit and watch life happen, watch the world and the people around me, to see what is so important that people don't see the beauty around them, do nothing to make the ugliness better, to make someone else happy instead of working towards their goals, and when you can see one thing you can do that you don't profit from but will help someone else that's when I choose to get involved, why can't the world have more watchers? I know I'm not the only one and I know there is nothing special about me to make me look to see what others choose to ignore. So is the world moving too fast that to live means to move just as fast or are people more worried about getting ahead that they don't know what is around them, they don't know that they have choices, that they decide to keep moving forward, never stopping, seldom slowing down.

Adversity
"Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger."

Success and Failure
Many of life's failures are people who
did not realize how close they were
to success when they gave up.
