It's easy to rely on the words of wise men who came before you. It's harder to step forward to express your own thoughts. Your experiences have value. You have as much wisdom as they that came before. Declare that. Put it down in words and also in example.

"Many times and old man has no other evidence besides his age to prove he has lived a long time" Seneca.

"Ambition", Marcus Aurelius reminded himself, “means tying your well-being to what other people say or do . . . Sanity means tying it to your own actions.”

Amidst all the challenges, disappointments, frustrations, trials and tribulations we each experience in one way or another on any given day, ponder this:

"There is nothing that cannot happen today."

Think how significant that is.

Blessings of ease and peace to you today and every day.

💜

The person who clears the path, ultimately sets the direction.

"You can't learn and improve if you think you are already the best" (paraphrase Epictetus)

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.” St. Francis of Assisi
