Of Worth

Something isn’t special if everyone can do it. Do you praise someone for breathing? For working? For talking? Usually only if it’s their first time. Such as a baby first steps or after a loved one was revived by a medical officer. But my brothers and sisters, we are neither newborns nor the nearly dead. We are healthy, wise and strong. We need to hold sacred what is precious to us and to not toss it away, like pearls before swine. Honor your virtue. Guard it with your life.

(your not cheap, don’t act like it).

Empathy: A tool of the gods to help us understand each other. And sometimes ourself.

Wisdom

Aww, wisdom, the nectar from the gods. the true fountain of youth.

(I'm on a roll today, haha)

I'm like wine

I'm like wine and get better with age. I can outsmart, outperform and overpower my high-school self in every way.

Age is a gift, don't hate it.

Maturity

Maturity come through experience more than age. Its just that age usually comes with more experience.

Great Gifts

A man's honor is the greatest thing he can offer after his heart.

A Kid and His Leaf

As I say upon the ground in the Spori quad a little lad came upon me. He held in his little hand an offering of peace. A little red leaf alive with the sun, vibrante with life. He came towards me with no strive or malice or envy. 

His intention were pure as that of the blue sky above us. In that moment I realized something. This child possesses something pure, something devine. What else did he hold in his hand besides that little leaf? What he also held in his hand was charity. A gift from God and it walked down towards me. 

It was a lesson. A lesson of charity. How to be a a real friend. To be childlike, to have the attributes that child does. And in that moment I wanted to be as that child. To be able to go to anyone and talk to them just because. And to reach out to all with God's love.

The challenge it to overcome the doubts Satan puts there. To negate the doubtful thoughts we've might have had or experience in such. Being a true friend with childlike characteristics is one of the greatest goals that we can attaint right now. 

After all, its how the Savior told us to be.

Change in the Reflection

The mirror shows what was once before, the path ahead full of laugh and score. The friends who played insults to alienation, now lie dead in their contemplation. The lesson learned and the deed be mourn, tis the time to ponder and be reborn.
