To stand in your own truth would be to expose yourself to a deep pain.
Yet the result of this may not be what you think.
Truth although it may cause pain may also bring great Joy.
We must not stop at just these two ideas, Pain vs. Joy but continue...
beyond... For if we can't trust our feelings to be truth, Then...
What can we have faith in?
We can have faith in change. For if our belief is that all things will stay the same
we are in for a rude awakening.
It's science.
The only thing constant is change.
It's Ironic.
It is all we experience all the time. An ever moving ever changing world.
With fleeting thoughts. Fleeting emotions. Fleeting moments.
It's in these Fleeting moments that we must pause, take a breath and give thanks.
Live and stand in the gratitude of our accomplishments.
In the gratitude of our ability to create beauty.
To live with the "Attitude of Gratitude" would be to forget about the Pain vs. Joy.
For even amidst the pain we will appreciate the lessons we have learned.
And amidst the Joy we will appreciate it all the more because we have seen such pain.
In this we shall stand.
