A Word of Wisdom

BY: CAROLYN COWAN 

2019 is a year to build endurance. When you reach the limit 
 and feel you can't go on, go a little further. It will build inner
 strength and perseverance.
 As an offering to the world this year make a pilgrimage of peace. Walk on the earth spreading love to all those who are near you.

The joy of this year rests on the state of your mind. Place it first in 
 your soul then descend it to your heart and finally in your body. 
 Then put it into action ! 
 Remember, a thought becomes a feeling an emotion a desire then it finally crystalizes into an impulse leading into action.

When patience runs out, extreme insanity walks in 
 When tolerance is broken, madness rules 
 Ask yourself, ‘is it a madman or a master piloting my ship?’
I PRAY IT IS THE MASTER THAT HOLDS YOUR MAST 
 PUT FAITH IN YOUR HEART & HOLD ON STEADFAST.

I loved this poem, but especially these words of wisdom: "When tolerance is broken, madness rules Ask yourself, ‘is it a madman or a master piloting my ship?’" Nicely done Pixie Dust.
