Manifesto For Life

I will smile and laugh whenever I can and bring as much joy as I am able into the lives of those I touch. I accept that life is a constant but that it never remains still and that to truly exist I must be open to each moment that I am given.

I will not look back to the past with nostalgia or sadness or regret, the past is simply part of my journey, the road that was meant for me. Along this road I have witnessed heart moving beauty, this beauty has come both from the darkness of pain and sadness as well as the brilliant sunshine of joy and love. I understand and accept that this is the natural order.

Night cannot exist without Day, Light without Darkness, both give life its amazing beauty.
I will not look to the future as wish fulfilment or a place I need to escape to, it is the life path that I walk, not another time or another place, it is all my continuum and the future will become my present, my now.  My journey covers hills, valleys, mountains and at times rocky ground. I may stumble and fall, but I will get up and walk on, I may carry a heavy pack along the way, but I am not afraid, I have a strong heart, a good back and stout shoes for my journey.

I share the road when I can with fellow travellers, hold out my hand to those who may need it, I will give whatever I can of myself and accept those gifts that may be offered to me with thanks and an open heart.

I forgive those that may want to harm me along the way and accept that their journey has just had different challenges which I may never fathom.
I will summon all the courage I can muster from my heart and soul to be true, to act decently and treat all who's paths I cross with dignity and respect. I will also not shy from questioning those things I feel are wrong or unjust, even if this causes me difficulty.

I will remember each day that my blessing has been to share truly beautiful moments with other souls on their journey. Every experience on my path has been a gift to live and learn from, every moment necessary for me to grow, to make me who I am and help me along the continuing path…………..
