As you travel on the path, you may do so not matter how you are feeling. You may feel fear, you might even be afraid, yet, you may take the next step WITH THE FEAR. Don’t try to get rid of it before taking the step. You can do this, you can take the step, you can ask for help.

Worthy Man Words - Weekly Gratitude Message -

We are all people—black, yellow, brown, white, straight, gay, bi, trans—and we are all connected on this great earth. This is the fact. It seems that many, no most, of the earth’s peoples want to live apart, to separate, to think that their particular conditions are superior.

"Love liberates. It doesn’t just hold—that’s ego—love liberates.” —Maya Angelou

Be grateful for all that you have, all that you love. Be willing to let it go.

In the practice of gratitude, you can let it go and let love rule and free you.

“Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.” — Voltaire

This quote reminds us that no matter how on purpose we are, no matter how much we try to do good, we are not perfect. So, don’t give up on your purpose or on doing what you think is right and good. Give it a shot, take that chance - there will be more good done.

“The only tired I was, was tired of giving in." — Rosa Parks

What are you giving into? Is there someone you can’t say no to? Is there a temptation calling to you? It’s time to stay away; time to make a boundary; time to end or complete. It’s OK and it will take something to do this. You will find the strength to do it and move on. There is no need for something or someone to have control over you. And, you will have more energy available for all that is purposeful.
