The
letter for today is: P, where I feature perseverance
and pear.
Nobody's
life runs smoothly. Even with the best will in the world you can't change
everything around you. Perseverance
will give the momentum to carry on with the plans we've already set in motion,
no matter what the hindrance.
I
often ponder the meaning of life—or the way life works. We can never really
know. But thoughts give comfort, and guide me through the pain of sorrow and
loss.
Here's
what I postulate:
Perhaps
we set trials for ourselves to overcome before we're born. With literal
oversight from heaven, we would know how we need to grow and change as
individuals on our learning experience towards our highest goals. Life itself
could be the trial on the trail.
I
only know we need to persevere when
an obstacle blocks our path. The natural reflex is to go around whatever it is
and carry on as if nothing happened. If we take such a course of action, we're
missing a great opportunity.
Say
a tree of knowledge grows in our way and pears
hang from the branches. Tired, we pause and eat the delicious fruit. During our
break, ideas come, and perhaps a change of direction, before we continue on our
journey sustained.
