The Choice Becomes The Quest

In life many things are inevitable. One of those things is the fact that there will be times we will be hurt and that we, ourselves, will hurt others.

Indeed this is not a scientific law, but just a simple fact.

The quest of life is to experience, to learn, to grow, to love, and to find happiness.

During that quest comes the trials and tribulations each of us face, some greater than others. For some, more challenging trials than others.

No matter the quest however, we all are faced with the opportunity to look inside –  dig a little deeper, try a little harder, grow a little more, love a little larger.

We all have a choice.

We are unquestionably subject to other’s actions at times and the repercussions.  Fortunately for each of us though, we have a choice to go beyond and choose goodness, to chose love, to chose peace.

That requires openness, love for oneself, forgiveness, faith and hope.

I have felt the pangs of hatred, bitterness, resentment, and discontent, as have each of you……….

My choice - to love a little greater, be a little happier, to forgive myself and others, and keep running in pursuit of peace and serenity.

For those things, the quest sometimes is certainly not easy, but it’s not far, I merely have to look WITHIN.
