Fire in the Hole

Have you ever had a feeling that something bad was going to happen? Did it come true? Many people recalled a variety of instances after the 9-11 event, where they felt that something transpired on that day, out of the ordinary, which resulted in keeping them from going to work. Some of the stories on the news reported a man stating that his alarm clock failed to wake him and he overslept. Another story told was by a mother who said her child had come down sick and no one else could help out. Yet, another story detailed a systematic timeline of routing an individual, away from lower Manhattan, when they had never missed a day of work in 8 years. And, some people reported just feeling funny that day and decided to stay home.

People around the globe are talking about feeling "something" that is unsettling now.  They cannot correlate it to any specific thing but there seems to be a universal feeling that "something" significant is about to happen. Whether it is a sign in the sky and/or an event on earth, all I know is that putting the drama of Hollywood aside, people are apprehensive about the near future. As a believer in God and destiny, it is time for all people to Be Still.  It is time to ask for forgiveness and give forgiveness with an open heart. It is time to drop judgment and stand to be judged.  It is time to focus on what is really important and let go of the useless nonsense of politics, religious differences and cultural supremacy.  It is time to Seek the Light.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

A Step Up

When we are born, we gradually build up enough strength in our young muscles to hold our head up. Next, we become strong enough to sit, crawl, stand and eventually, we walk. Everything that we do in life is accomplished in small steps. These steps are not only a guide to the process but they are also a measure of how far we have come.  

We learn to read after we learn the letters of the alphabet. We learn to run after we learn to walk. We learn to multiply after we learn to add and subtract. As we master each level, we advance in our skills. Life is no different. The progress that we make in our daily life leads us towards the lessons that we acquire year after year. Everything that we do, whether it is as an infant learning to sit up or a protege being taught a new skill, it can only be accomplished one step at a time. Don't fret not knowing how to do something.  We all learn at our own pace. Slow down, take your time, learn the steps and master each one before you climb to the next level.  Then, you can do anything you set your mind to do!

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"You will only get there, one step at a time." tc
