a thought

as i set new milestones and try to achieve them, i find some days are harder than others. the harder days, oddly enough, are more fulfilling as well. but the easier ones, i find, offer more time to be grateful. and as i attempt to embrace the challenge of living each day in its own right, the promise of growth holds my hand and walks with me on this path. my bookmark informs me that winston churchill has said, "to improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often." no, i shall never be perfect, but i do hope and pray that i change often. (the fear of stagnation must be the next to go.)

and as i ponder more over the nature of life and the ways in which it unfolds itself, i am convinced of one thing: the world conspires to make me a better, stronger person. every day, it gifts me with infinitely many opportunities to construct for myself a better reality. one in which i inch closer to the person i know i wish to become. a moving realization to commence this month with.

and no, i'm not the only one. (to whom the world is thus kind, that is.)
