The harshness of life can be tempered by the awareness of Light.  To be able to gaze inward and say, all we are, all we were and all we shall be is contained within us.  Greet the future with the happy expectancy of what you will learn, thank the past for providing you with feeling and be grateful to the present for the realization and awareness of both.  As you embark upon your journey forward with your circumstances of the past and realizations in the present, think of how rewarding now the future will be.  Each situation will be met with a greater understanding.  Break with the traditional concepts of events.  Your mind is now different, so your acceptances will be different.   View the whole scenario, not just the part that affects you and be fair to all aspects.  Be true unto your own Self, who you were, who you are, will form that which you will grow to be.  The first painful stab of realization was the seed, that was watered with your tears, pruned with your pain and fertilized with your experiences. This is your bud of enlightenment, that will flourish with the Love and the Light that will grow and expand within as you nourish and feed it.
