If you look closely at this picture, each tree, wildflower and natural element was created uniquely. Each has a distinct quality and a purpose. When they are all combined together, a beautiful masterpiece is formed. The absence of one will affect the overall essence, beauty, function and composition. The balance shifts. 

After years of reflection and hard experiences, I gather, this is what life is all about. We all have a role to play. 

Harry S. Truman once quoted, “There is no limit to what can be accomplished if it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.”  What a wonderful world this would be if we all combine our talents for the social good. Imagine a world where we'll help each other reach our fullest potential. 

A choice we always need to make, to dance and convene with what life has in store for us, or connive to create havoc for personal gain.

Sadly, the first option isn't always the case. Ruthless egoistic greed exists out there. 

I always believe that life  keeps a record of every thing and no one really gets away with anything.

Familiar with the law of karma, the law of cause and effect?

There's always a price to pay for every deed that no Hail Marys and penance at the confessional can erase. It's inescapable.

I was privileged to have witnessed as a third party spectator countless consequences that swept over acquaintances and enemies who took advantage of others.

How unexplainable misfortune beyond their control met them, in different aspects of their lives in an unexpected fashion,, despite all of their careful planning.  

"Time & Circumstances can change at any time. Don't de-value or hurt anyone in life. You may be powerful today. But remember, time is more powerful than you."

What we sow is what we reap indeed. 

For this path leads to happiness and fulfillment. 

A road less traveled because it requires strength and courage to do good and be good.

Cheers to a beautiful life.

Love & light,

Arni
