What Matters Most

Excerpted from Today I Begin a New Life: 

"We may not have lost our material wealth due to a proud heart. We may not have lost a wife and child to alcoholism. We may not have lost the use of our limbs because of an accident. We may not have suffered the unexpected death of a spouse. We may not have had our mortality threatened by an untimely diagnosis. 

                                  

We may not have lost a child or children to premature death. Perhaps our heart is simply bruised, wounded, or broken and in need of repair. Perhaps the firestorms of life have simply consumed our resources, and with this, our hope. Perhaps we have wanted to believe that there is a place called ease. We may have wasted hours in search of a shortcut to abundance, and in the process, drained our resources and energy."

Maybe we are one of the rare ones who have independently and courageously made the decision to take on life’s lessons and become better people. It doesn’t matter how we got to our pivotal moment of surrender. What matters is that we are here, ready to intentionally create a different outcome!
