As we prepare to welcome the new year's, lets pray for the World to be a better place to live in, not forgetting the joys & sorrows of the bygone year, take a bit of them to either lift or balance us. Lets find time to achieve what we hoped to but could not find time to, what changes we hoped to see, bring that within ourselves, find peace and happiness within us and stop looking for it in the outer world, enjoy the tide of roughness in our lives like a great man who said "Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors." We all came into this World being equal, "You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser, you are what you make yourself to be and whatever you are today is because YOU have chosen this."
There are people who think that they could bring about peace in some place by fighting somewhere else. or companies who fire their people when things go wrong for no fault of theirs forgetting all the sweat the employees and put in all these years and contributed to the success of the company. Maybe retrenchments would only allow the top people to continue to lead a cushy life. We tend to forget that everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was. Let that not put us into darkness after all "The darkest hour is just before the dawn." Whether it has been the problem of terrorism or the financial crunch, let's hope it certainly is the darkest hour. What is, is. What will be, is what we make it. It certainly matters if we just don't give up. After all, the only way to overcome is to hang in!
Lets hope we could make the change we want to see right here & right NOW and I'm sure we could make the World in the new year a home filled with happiness for us to live and that World is within us!
Taking from the song 'We are the World' composed by Michael Jackson & Lionel Richie –
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one……..
There's a choice were making
We're saving our own lives
Its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day………..
Friends, Best wishes for the New Year and god bless us all
