*THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED*
Some of us stroll gently through life with our chosen paths clearly mapped out, including breath-taking views, serene rest stops and cheerfully infrequent roadblocks. The scenery is full of hand-painted signs that say, "Welcome" and "Have a Lovely Day." Classical music plays softly in the background.
But for the rest of us, the path we stumble along is often the "road less traveled" unmarked and unpaved. Our scenery is full of garish yellow metal signs that read; "caution - bump ahead" and "danger - watch for falling rocks
Static plays in the background of our minds. Often without warning, we are hurled off the path, getting tangled in the underbrush and ending up with agonizing bruises.
It is easy to begrudge those around us that don't seem to struggle, but we need to remind ourselves that wisdom comes from discord. This is our opportunity to reacquaint ourselves with our own courage, to learn profound lessons and to heal.
Jose Stevens writes in "Earth to Tao",
"...The truth is, that you learn the most about yourself and about life on earth from falling off balance, then finding your way back to balance again. Healing, then, is the balance or the neutral position of acceptance. We could therefore say that all of life is truly an attempt at healing..."
Let us journey together on the "road less traveled" towards wellness and balance and healing.

🍶🍶 GLASS OF MILK 🍶🍶
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.
Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water!
She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you?"
You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."
He said ... "Then I thank you from my heart."
As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
Many years later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.
Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.
Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognised her at once.
He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won.
Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, and then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words ...
"Paid in full with one glass of milk"
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God, that your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands."
There's a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life is all about?

*AMOR FATI - Learn To Love Your Fate.......*
Amor fati is a Latin phrase that may be translated as "love of fate" or "love of one's fate". It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens, including suffering and loss as, necessary. Whether one likes them or not, it is accepted with zen like serenity.
Thomas Edison was at home eating dinner. A man burst into his home, interrupting him. He had bad news. His research facility was on fire.
Now how would you imagine Edison to react? Do you imagine Edison panicking or do you hear him screaming out “Why me?” or is he deeply distraught or do you see him in deep agony?
None of these happened. Edison requested his son to go and get his mother. It seems, Edison excitedly told his son, “She’ll never see a fire like this again.”
Naturally, Edison’s son thought his father had lost his mind, and rightfully so. All of Edison’s experiments, things that could never be replicated, were inside his laboratory, burning to the ground.
“Don’t worry. It’s all right,” Edison said calmly, “All my mistakes and a lot of unnecessary rubbish have just got burnt.”
In this, Edison revealed the true nature of Amor Fati – choosing to love your fate, no matter what.
Not only was he “NOT broken-hearted”, he was revitalised. Despite losing over $1 million at the age of 67 in that fire, he persevered and made over $10 million thereafter. WOW!
I am in love with the concept of Amor Fati. Why? Because, the power that we have in life by accepting our fate is so immense that you feel nothing is impossible for you. You believe that everything has a purpose, and that it is up to you to make this purpose something positive and active.
Maybe you lost your job.
Maybe someone cheated you of your entire life’s earnings.
Maybe, your trust was broken with impunity.
Maybe, the person you love the most, is facing a life threatening disease.
Maybe, someone ill treated you.
The challenge of your life may be considerable and inescapable.
And yet you’re given the choice to greet it with a smile. And then, act..That’sAMOR FATI.
The goal of this article is not to make you feel “okay” or even “good” when terrible things happen. It’s to make you feel GREAT irrespective of what happens. If it happened, then it was meant to happen. You are meant to make the best of it.
It is unnatural, I know, to feel calmness when faced with calamities. But see it this way. It is fuel for you to push harder when you felt lost. It is fuel for you to work harder when you want to quit. It is fuel for you to think big when nothing was going right. It is fuel for you to smile when all you want to do is frown."*
*Amor Fati, my dearest friends*

*MINDSET IS THE POWER HOUSE TO SUCCESS*
Poverty does not start from the pocket. It begins from the mind...At every age, everyone has the capacity to draw wealth. Your age does not limit your future.
The mind can go as far as you can stretch it. How much mind exercise do you do everyday?
The human mind is poor by doubt but rich by faith. When you stretch your mind, it gets you to things and places no one else has ever imagined.
Where you are today is a product of your mind and where you will be tomorrow is still the product of your mind. If you see yourself in the sky tomorrow, that is where you will be. If you still see yourself around many excuses, that is where you will always be stuck at.
You have to think and think big. Always remember, there are no known laws that restricts one from thinking big. *Always think big.*
Opportunity enriches those who accept it without doubt when they find one. Opportunity doesn't wait for any one.
THINK BIG.....
THINK I CAN....
THINK ITS POSSIBLE...
GET THE BEST.

*"Be passionate about your goal. Passion transform people from average to excellence. Find purpose, find passion. Do it well, someday you shall be rewarded for what you are passionate about. Find something you like to do so much that you would gladly do even for nothing. Do it consistently then watch yourself!
Avoid firefighters in your journey to fulfill your life purpose, they will throw cold water on the fire of your passion burning within you.
However, there are fire lighters who love to go out of their ways to keep your fire hot. Identify them and pitch your tent with them. They are goal getters. With the fire lighters, be sure that you're in to achieve greatly."*

Be a force of nature, take on the chaos. Also, there will be bad times, and those bad times will come to pass as all things in life do. You've got to be rejected by the world firstly. But to own yourself above all other things is the greatest trophy you can ever attain.
