Loveliest of trees the Cherry now.

Loveliest of trees the cherry now
is hung with bloom along the brough.
And stands above the woodland ride
wearing white for Easter tide.

Now of my four scorn years and ten,
twenty will not come again.
About the woodlands I will go
to see the cherry hung with snow.

And since to look at thing in bloom
Fifty scones are little room.
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.

ME vs. ME
THE FINAL BATTLE

Are you in the mood to get deep? I am, so lets walk and talk for a spell. You say that you think you have it all together and that you can handle almost any situation. On the other hand you say that you ‘re worth more. One side of you has the tendency to do the things that you have sworn never to do again. The other side of you wants to be the good guy. This inner battle will now be known as Me vs. Me! And yes it can apply to you! The true scenario to any ones story is how well you handle yourself. The good you and the not so good you. First a person must realize that it’s not the environment as much as it is you! Which side of you do you give recognition to the most? Have you decided on the better you or will you ever decide on the better you? There comes a time when we all simply must make a decision. If we continue to let the bad guy win then we can all pretty much so write the ending to our own story. Challenge yourself to change! No one can handle you the way that you can. The question is how well can you deal with yourself. You vs. You - The Final Battle. If you can defeat yourself and submit to change then you will surely find victory sweet. The real you will be tempted by the dwindling sprit of the old you! This can cause a problem and create a stumbling block that only you can rid yourself of.

Before you can achieve more than the norm, you must re-evaluate your present status. You vs You!!!! In what type of position do you have yourself in, and do you have the solution to your own self inflicted problems? Some people don’t even consider themselves as being a part of their own downfalls because it’s easier to point a finger or blame the next person for their life worries. Come on folks it’s 1998 and things are pretty complicated, yes, but you have the power to better yourself if you can only end the battle of Me vs. Me!!

Take yourself to the limit and find out who you really are, stop settling for “just getting by” and put your best foot forward for yourself. In traveling this road of self rehab you will learn that you are a creature of habit and at first you may be fooled into believing that you can’t do it!!
Change it a trip. And it doesn’t come overnight. You will have to seriously work on it, however in time you will succeed!! The main thing that you should know is that your battle of survival is really a battle of, and within, yourself. Only you can prevent disaster in your own life by making a decision and finally coming to grips with yourself!!! You vs You!!!!!

We are held accountable for our actions and sometimes our actions are a hinderment to us. We must stop letting our inner negative being get the best of us. Fight Back!!! Besides it’s your life and if you are holding yourself back in any fashion, strive to be better. Remember the problem is more you than you choose to admit. Challenge yourself to a dual, You vs You. Fight your best and may the best you win!!!!

Live in the Moment....

”I was regretting the past and fearing the future

When suddenly GOD was speaking....
“My name is... “I am”

I waited, GOD continued.....

“When you live in the past, with it’s mistakes and regrets
It is hard, I am not there, my name is not “I was”

“When you live in the future, with it’s problems and fears
It is hard, I am not there, my name is not “I will be”

“When you live in the moment, it is not hard
I am here... my name is “I am”

Obedience

I said: “Let me walk in the fields.”
He said: “No, walk in the town.”
I said: “There are no flowers there.”
He said: “No flowers, but a crown.”

I said: “but the skies are black;
There is nothing but noise and din.”
And He wept as He sent me back-
“There is more,” He said: there is sin.”

I said: “But the air is thick,
And fogs are veiling the sun.”
He answered: “Yet souls are sick,
And souls in the dark undone!”

I said “I shall miss the light,
And friends will miss me, they say.”
He answered: “Choose tonight
If I am to miss you or they.”

I pleaded for time to be given.
He said: “Is it hard to decide?
It will not seem so hard in heaven
To have followed the steps of your Guide.”

I cast one look at the fields ,
Then set my face to the town:
He said, “My child, do you yield?
Will you leave the flowers for the crown?”

Then into His hand went mine;
And into my heart came He;
And I walk in a light divine,
the path I feared to see.

“And this is LOVE that we walk in obedience to his commands”

RISKS

To love is to risk not being loved in return.

To live is to risk dying.

To hope is to risk dispair.

To try is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing.

They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they can not learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.

Chained by their attitudes, they are a slave, they have forfeited their freedom.

*Only the person who takes risks is truly free.*
