On the edge....

There will be moments when the only thing left is for you to question your existence. Life can be so damned hard for each of us.

There are always days when we get so lonely and depresses.When we cry. When the world has lost its colors.When the rest of the world is happy and you are not.

There will be times when we lose all reasons for living, and problems will seem so hard that we wish there were no such things as tomorrow.

When these times happen, do not succumb to the temptations of giving up. Yes, to live is to suffer and the only way to be happy is to suffer willingly.

Often, the worst of times yields the best lessons in life. We have to go on in life's extremes. We don't have to give up. As the famous poet, philosopher, and artist Kahlil Gibran said,  "When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that, in truth, you are weeping for that which has been your delight."

What are some of those limiting thoughts, those subconscious beliefs, which keep us from experiencing joy and wholeness? One of those beliefs is that we cannot be fulfilled unless we are loved and accepted by those who are the victims of our past experiences, that we are too old or too set in our...
