Are You Standing on the Edge of a Precipice

Are You Standing on the Edge of a Precipice
The year is nearly over and how has it gone for you?
What was your 2015 journey like - did you take the path happiness or hurt or... was it a mixture of both?
Did circumstances dictate or did you make those choices which led you a certain way or... was it a mixture of both? 
What were the challenges... the rewards... and the wisdom gained?
Reflect on your journey over the closing days of this year and be thankful for each day.
Yes, be thankful and realize that no matter what occurred you took a unique trip... a journey of a lifetime that no one else can, or will, travel because...
it was your journey - one that was universal and uniquely personal!
Did you sometimes stumble or slip, but then, other times saw you climb the highest peaks and soar the sunny skies?
Did you see that even in your darkest of hours there was a light -
a person's kind words, a bright smile, a gentle 'hello' or a hug?
If not, did you even look for it or let it pass you by not recognizing it for what it was?
Even at the most difficult of times there is always an answer...
a helping hand...
yes, that light!
All you need to do is to look for it!
Even at the most difficult of times there is always an answer...
All you need to do is to listen for it!
Are You Standing on the Edge of a Precipice - has 2015 just been too much?
Just stop and reflect and remember this...
Others, if you let them, will share in your days - those happy times, those sad times - they will accompany you along your journey walking beside you.
Yes, others will be there, if you want, but only in part as your journey is yours and there will be times you will walk by yourself - that is the way life is, but,
Just stop and reflect and remember this...
you never need be alone!
Yes, there will be times when you may not know the why's and where's of each day.
You will get lost for a bit and not know where you are headed but,
be open and learn to let go... travel light.
Rid yourself of that baggage and extra burden of:-
fear...
loneliness...
unhappiness and...
negativity!
Be free to embrace the who you were meant to be and let each step you take move you towards discovering more of who you really are...
When you do you will turn away from the edge of the precipice and,
instead...
start on a journey of a lifetime - your lifetime!

If you turn around from the edge of the precipice and look to the sky...
If you journey the scenic route and enjoy the view...
If you look around at the beauty that surrounds you instead of looking for darkness that lurks underneath...
you will be able to forgive and love and laugh and...
be free!
For... your today's are the cornerstones of your tomorrows and, it is those cornerstones upon which the rest of your life will be built!
Do you want those yesterdays to be bring you to the edge of the precipice or are you willing to let go and step away from the brink...!
My friends my wish for you as we come to the end of 2015 is that you take time to reflect and 'let go' - 'let go' of the 'if only's', the 'it's not fair', the 'I wish, I wish, I wish' and any hurt and pain and sorrow that might have come your way.
Instead - think of those moments of love, kindness, gentleness and good times. Think of them with gratitude, happiness and peace. For it is these things that make up our lives and help us to overcome so... step away from the edge of the precipice and walk towards life - let 2016 but the shinning beacon and the start of the beginning of your life!
