Our Best

is yet to be obtained

As I age, it's getting easier and easier to criticize others...that's a definite shortcoming. It appears freedom of speech, offers chances to hurt. What it hurts is: true vision, harsh decisions and progress made, in honesty, vigilance, patience and justice. I'm afraid- I'm guilty in jumping to conclusions- much too fast!
It makes me average, slows down my ability to improve as an individual. It takes away from my progress, to fuller maturity. How do I know when to be silent and when to trust my instincts?
The bottom line is faith! I judge myself now- on the miscues of trial and error. Correction gives me strength and dignity. Acknowledging the decades, of honoring the leadership and righteousness of the truly "great"- the ones (before me and around me) , who demonstrated before me- a path I wish to maintain for them- so that whatever destiny- the L-rd has summoned will prevail!
Did I ever tell you: "I Love the challenges that Life offers" ?
