RIGHTEOUSNESS
We can have riches, houses and land,
But can we commit to being righteous?
This is a reflection on the deeper values that guide human behavior beyond the accumulation of wealth. It suggests that true fulfillment and worthiness come not from material possessions, but from the commitment to uphold principles of righteousness in all aspects of life.
CHANGE
If you need change in your life think deeply of ways to avoid beaten paths, change for the better.
To instigate meaningful change in one’s life, it is imperative to reflect deeply upon alternatives that diverge from conventional paths. Rather than treading the well-worn routes, embrace the challenge of charting a course that leads to personal growth and improvement. Change, when pursued conscientiously, has the power to elevate and transform. By daring to venture beyond the beaten paths, individuals open themselves to novel opportunities, fresh perspectives, and the potential for a better, more fulfilling existence. Embracing change becomes not only a catalyst for personal evolution but also a deliberate choice to break free from the confines of the familiar and explore the untapped possibilities that lie ahead.

Life Is A Gift
Life is Precious
Most people don’t consider precious moments until they are gone. The ability to seize the moment and make the most of it is a skill that can only be developed with practice. By living in the present, you will be able to appreciate every moment more fully and truly know how precious they are.
Some of these moments include:
Time spent with family and friends.
Time spent with hobbies or interests.
Time spent on activities such as sports or volunteering.
Time spent in nature.
Time spent reading or writing.
Time spent alone to reflect on life’s lessons and learning.
These are all important moments in our lives that we can reflect on in the future. Telling our kids and grand-kids about precious moment means so much to them as they pass it on to their kids and grand-kids is truly a blessing.
