All passes

At times, he mind wanders to strange spaces and places, often where we dare not venture. But, it is very much needed. To be complete human being-soulwise one needs to face all, the good, the bad and the ugly. I have been fortunate in my life in many ways, for I do not agonize over things like the past, I have no emotional baggage and I try to live my life as positively as possible. 

I have never really been depressed, have the odd “black dog days” as Churchill put it, but not much to complain about. I tell myself: "it too shall pass", and it does. I have an escape valve, my faith. I try and often force myself to live one day at a time, and that makes it easy as one can put a “bad yesterday” easily behind. 
 

My life has been easy in many ways, but I believe that we steer our own lives in whatever direction we wish. Intention and faith are the two most important components of my life-love giving it life. I am doing what I love to do, and know that I have helped hundreds of people. This gives me immense satisfaction, fulfilment and self worth. I am just simply happy being me. Not because I am that great, not because people take my advice, which I myself seldom do not do , but just being grateful for my life and taking part to do my bit on this blue orb. Often , true-I do not practice what I preach, and I am honest and I tell them, :”Do as I say, not do as I do”. But for all else-in all honesty would not want be anyone else.
 

Why do I visit those strange spaces and paces-well so that I do not forget all the things that have happened in my life, for I feel if I do; it was worth not the effort, nor the work, nor the pain, nor the happiness, nor the joy, nor the love. It was all a waste of them if forgotten. I feel nothing I have ever done has been a waste, because it still lives fully in me-it has gone nowhere but deeper into the core of my soul. So, no regrets-ever.

So, my humble advice is -no matter how bad things are, or good, always try to remember once in a while, so it is never lost in the mists of time. And in the end- nothing stays the same, it all changes and "it all too shall pass".
