Life is our classroom for perfecting our souls,
the forks in the road help us choose our own goals.
There’s no right or wrong in the direction we choose,
God gave us free will; we don’t win or lose.
We can veer right or left or go forward or back
Take which way feels right, for no learning shall lack.
And when this life ends, we’ll look back and decide
if we yearn more perfection, or stay on the Other Side
Each immortal soul is given the choice
to come back to a life to express a new voice,
but remember, each day, if life seems not to give
a choice of circumstance;
It’s through those lessons we must live
sometimes worth it to leave it to chance.
They’re all for perfecting, though sometimes bring pain,
but gets better with time…for it’s more wisdom we gain.

Happiness can be thought, sought or caught, but never bought: the best way to keep happiness is to share it.

Many Like To Take A Look
But Always Put Me Back

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse laying on the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.
