You are who you are. If that
makes you unhappy, then
it is up to you to do something
about it. A champion golfer,
if he wants to stay sharp,
hits a thousand golf balls per day.
A runner must keep running.
A six-week layoff and he is back
to square one and has to start all
over, building slowly back to what
he once was. We make mistakes.
We make corrections. If we want
to be happy, we must do things to
make others happy. We start to do
little things and keep building up to
the point of doing things we never
thought of doing when we were
unhappy. Our growth, if we keep at it,
can be phenomenal, and we surprise
ourselves and those around us.
These sorts of things are the miracles
of life. If we did not take the initial step,
we would still be forlorn. We learn to act
when things are not right. We have been
given all of the instructions necessary and
have bee promised that there would be
someone with us to help us. It is now up
to us to find food and water for those in
need. We may begin small, but keep
increasing our efforts until they become
second nature to us. We begin to like
who we are and begin to bring others
together to assist us as the problems
increase and are discovered. At this point
to ignore what we know we must do
would bring us back to unhappiness.
If others fail or find that the effort is
too much, then we find new people
who will carry on with the opportunity.
We are finding our place in the promised
land and in reality, that is what life is all about.
