It's never too late!

"Like sands through an hourglass, these are the days of our lives."  OK, I know a little over dramatic, but maybe you will indulge me today as this is a magical time of year, and one never knows what may happen.

I've watched over the years as people, seemingly good, loving, and often well meaning people, gave up on their own dreams and hopes.  I've seen life being sucked right out of these people, and in the end, they were merely a shell of what they were supposed to be.  There are many reasons for this happening, but would you believe me if I told you that in each case, it was avoidable?  I'm not saying that certain things would still not have happened, but the end results would have been quite different had these people simply come to an understanding of destiny, and just how important destiny should be to each and every person.

You know it really is never too late to accept your destiny, walk in your destiny, and ultimately change the face of humanity.  Humanity is not the sum total of it's parts, humanity is each individual part, and maybe just maybe you were intended to reach a part of humanity with your gifts and talents.  Touching a life is what destiny is about, and that one life that you touch, the person you simply smile at one morning on your way to work, needs what you have just like you need what they have.

We've entered Christmas week, and with each event we attend, with each party we stop by, and with each card that we open, there is a special feeling of "Peace on earth, goodwill toward men." Sadly, there are many people who find the Christmas season anything but Jolly, and others who would give anything just to hide up somewhere until it was over.  We hear reports from those in the know that depression rises during the holiday season.  This depression could be the by-product of a workplace who only cares about the bottom line.  This depression could come as a result of a loss of a loved one, and memories that seem to fade over time.  What ever the reason, depression is real, and maybe we should reach out to those who suffer and offer them a little peace, a little goodwill, and maybe just a shoulder to cry on.  We are our brother's keeper, and we should reach out to all people and provide them what they need, love, even if they refuse to admit it.

Oh my dear friends, believe me when I tell you that it's never too late to embrace your destiny.  It may come to you in the twilight of your years, but it will come when the time is right, and when you are ready to accept it.  The greatest gift we can give to one another is the gift of understanding and love.  It is the gift of ourselves, and offering what we have, who we are, to others who are in desperate need of finding the true meaning of life.  Life is not simply about working hard, putting money away for a rainy day, or leaving a legacy for others to ponder.  Life is transferring to others the special way you have of being you.  The way you look at things and always see good.  The way you love others because love is what binds all things together.  The way you go about your day overjoyed because you are so blessed having the opportunity to experience destiny.  These are the gifts that should be shared during this time of year, in the hopes that the sharing will continue throughout the entire year.

I am a writer, a motivator, a person who attempts to see the good in all people, and a person who desires that all would walk in their destiny.  There is not a day that goes by that I do not contemplate destiny, and try to bring the message of destiny to at least one person.  It may seem corny, but that is who I am, and that is what I have been charged to do in this life.  Maybe it's time that you discover what your purpose is, and begin to walk in that purpose.  My passion is helping others discover their own passion.  Certainly there are days when I question my existence, but that is because I just like everyone else on this planet are bombarded with the cares of this world.  There are struggles that each of us will have to contend with, but with each struggle comes clarity of purpose, as purpose is why you are here.

Yes the sand in the hourglass will continue to pass, and with each grain of sand that passes through is a moment that you will never get back.  How wonderful would life be if each moment was spent doing what you love most, and creating for yourself memories of how great life is?

It's never too late to accept your destiny.  It's never too late to become the person you were intended to be.  It's never too late to grab life by the horns and make the most out of the time you have left.  Take a moment today and ask yourself who am I?  There is greatness in every person, but this greatness begins with your own understanding of why you are here, and what you were sent here to do.  You are an amazing creature, and you have within yourself all that you need to discover and walk out your destiny.  My Christmas wish is that you begin to accept your perfection, share your dreams and visions, and be you.  The world needs each of us, and each of us makes up the world.  Merry Christmas to each of you, and may the spirit of this season grown into something very special for you.
