The world can be a paralyzing place that freezes us in a state of stagnation founded upon fears; fears of success, fears of failure, fears of growth, fears of change, and ultimately a deeply rooted fear of death (i.e. the great unknown). Cold and enslaving it is to live in such a world.
The harsh reality is this: death is daily knocking at your door and is seeking to gradually rob you of your innocence and your youth. The other harsh reality is that death is succeeding. "For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the grass; it's flowers fall and it's beauty perishes." And so it is with us.
But our substance, OUR LEGACY! Now THAT is something death can't rob you of. Freeze you from creating valuable substance, yes, but once that substance is established there is no power in death to rob you of your legacy.
So take heart and know "you are not alone in this." Again, "you are not alone in this." As brothers and sisters you will stand, holding fast against this cold world. And so you surround yourself with those that might warm your hearts towards the things that make death irrelevant; spurring you on towards a life that is free from it's enslaving and paralyzing power. Pushing you towards the eternal nature of a life well-lived and well-served.
But be cautious of who you surround yourself with. These people will define you. They will be the roots by which your choices stem from. Choices that can "make you great" and give you "a ladder to the stars"...or, choices that freeze you in a state of nothingness. Choose wisely.
How blessed I am to have friends that would "move mountains" for me. As iron sharpens iron, so a true friend sharpens another friend. Thank you to those that invest in me and push me towards great things; eternal things.
