Platform.......

My Thought for this Day......Where do you live? Do you live in solitude, generosity, deception, selfishness, gratitude, achievement, jealousy? We all reside in our emotions. Each and every one of us must face the reality that something rules our lives. And what we portray to the world is not necessarily what is truly our hearts's platform. Do you spend time making sure you mask the true you? And if you do, is this out of shame, embarrassment, or weakness? True happiness comes in the ability to face ourselves with pride. Absolute contentment stems from the knowledge that while not perfect, we strive to live in the spotlight of improvement. To think you are perfect is to be looking in a cracked mirror. To view yourself as invincible is to be blinded by the light of self importance. I think it is miraculous that we, each day, are given the opportunity to carve out a little more of our true selves. We are flawed; we sometimes live in emotions that are not righteous. But the opportunity and the desire to dig, and seek and find our true selves is nothing short of stupendous, and then with a mighty roar and a mountain of work, we can live within hearts and souls of peace, knowing that while not perfect, nor spotless, nor blameless, we are striding with purpose and finding that some of our platforms are rickety and must be replaced with good, strong, true and selfless platforms of steel, and in the finding, we are doing. You are a work in progress. You shed your skin daily. You wake to a blank slate of opportunity. Where will you live today? Not where did you live yesterday, nor where are you going to live tomorrow......those are irrelevant facts. Today....where?
