Mindset

by C. L. Harmon

 

 

Change injustices so that humanity might know that brave souls once believed that doing right was far greater       than being right.

 

Own what you have created whether it be good or bad, honest or dishonest. Integrity has no fear for its actions and yet cowardice is a constant companion of evil.

 

understand that you belong to everyone and they to you. No action or word is void of ramifications as we are all connected to each other by that which we leave behind.

 

Rise up against those who deceive you in their capacity to serve. If they no longer serve your best interests and you remain still, then your interests no longer matter and become lost to the beliefs of others.

 

Ask forgiveness for yourself and offer it to others. Asking frees others of their hatred and releases us of our guilt. Offering is our proof that we are stronger than any evil which befalls us.

 

Give all that is required to build a life which is remembered in honor. Your memory is a building block upon which future morality is built and global relationships are forged.

 

Expect nothing from others which we can provide for ourselves. Work is the fundamental element of any society. Nothing rises or is sustained without the labor of its inhabitants.

 

Courage is a necessity of existence. We must all find it within ourselves if we are to ever overcome adversity, combat evil and forge a future that is worthy for our children to inherit. Courage is only the will to act in the interest of good conscience when others will not.
