Reflection On the Sum of Life

What we do today reflects on tomorrow
But today we should not worry about tomorrow
What we think and feel will depend on the happiness we acquire
Our pursuit of happiness can be the chase of a lifetime.

In pointing blame, as to who is right or who is wrong
We merely forget what is actually right or actually wrong
The grudge we hold can become the heaviest load
Our tongues a most lethal weapon.

Pride can block our way towards our goals
We want to be masters first ,instead of servants
But first, we must be servants to become masters
That is how you climb the ladder of success.

Worry, let worry take care of itself
Fear, can immobilize  our very soul
Fear keeps us from moving forward
The Unknown, man's greatest fear.

Someone once said,
"Life's equation cannot be summarized in a moment
But must be momentarily summarized  all it's life."
That is the sum of life.

This is the kind that I could imagine Jesus giving as a sermon on the mount or something. It's chock full of wisdom, my friend. And yep, I will finish that story. I might require two more parts for it, but I'll be sure to let you know if you miss it when I finally post it. lUv, Andrea
