To every man there comes in his lifetime that special moment when he is figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered a chance to do a very special thing, unique to him and fitted to his talents; what a tragedy if that moment finds him unprepared or unqualified for the work which would be his finest hour…Sir Winston Churchill

There is a time and the time is now. There is a moment and the moment is now. Life is full of uncertainties, full of disappointments, full of strife and full questions every BEING on this earth must face. The most important aspect of life, namely the turmoil, is how you view it. Do you see your hardships for what they truly are…a blessing? When I look back on the life I have led, there is a part of me full of regret and sorrow. And I have to look internally to rid myself of this angst. The regret and sorrow comes from the mere knowledge that I have not lived up to the potential within me. The question I ask myself at this point is…have I really lived or merely existed? The answer is the latter. The time is now, I have to live for myself and no one else. I keep holding on to ghosts, to mere fantasies that don’t exist, that never existed. So how do you let go of a figment of your imagination, of who you THINK you are?

The dawn of a new is upon me…I must seek out consciousness, if not I will continue existing rather living. My fear is that I will not be prepared for that moment when I will be tapped on the shoulder and offered my chance to be great. My fear is that moment has already relinquished to the shadows of my past. I am special…I have an immense potential and how sad would it be if I miss my moment to do the work of my finest hour? I look within for strength, support, and stillness.  I have to know that I am better off because of it.
