Seeing is not believing. Believing is seeing. Life on earth changes us. It strips away a naivete, an innocence, and infuses our eternal selves with maturity and wisdom. Be thankful each day for this gift of life.
Many people go through life never really appreciating it.
The purpose of life is joy. Self-awareness is the prayer of the heart, and to pray without ceasing is to play. Play with the joyful abandon of the child, absorbed in the light of each moment. Live for the pure joy of being. Happiness is holy.
