Life has its challenges - for each of us. We pass the light on to those who follow in our footsteps. It isn't always easy to understand the imprints of life on the body since life shows us the passage of time like a roadmap on our skin. We cannot prevent the passage of time, but we have the ability to see ourselves in a different light.

Though living isn't easy, life indeed, is a gift from God. Yet, not all people always act as if they believe this truth. Pain and suffering have a value, yet it is not often clear what purpose they serve. If everything in life were perfect, there would be little to learn. Some of us do very little with what we have while others do an enormous amount with hardly anything at all. Perhaps it is the person who makes miracles happen and doesn't think twice that truly inspires us to not only be grateful for what we have, but who inspires us to transcend our limitations as well. A very old saying, albeit commonly used without meaning truly make sense here; When there is a will, there will be some way.

No matter how senseless the above mentioned seem, the very least believe in miracles, because they do happen. Not every day and not without effort, but miracles can and do happen to those who never give up. Growth is a process of experimentation, a series of trials, errors, and occasional victories. The failed experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that work.

In life, there are no mistakes, only lessons.

Thank God,

I really love this book.
