No Straight Lines

No Straight Lines!

There are no straight lines in life
Life is a story of unexpected twist and turns!
Yet, life is the best gift that one can possess!
Don't throw it away because of what others 
Might do or won't do for you!
Turn unexpectedly challenges 
To extraordinary opportunities!
Treat small and insignificant things 
With the same level of importance 
That you give for big and great things!
Every insignificant thing that you do today 
Will find its significance someday!

(Timothy A.Edward)

Great advice Timothy! I see life more as a web of straight lines from one connecting point to another, one person to another extended through communication or terminated with silence. I love that you are so aware of the power in all things for the opportunity they possess. Each of us is all of us. Keep Writing, Tim.
