As you travel through life..

This is one post i got from felicissima.wordpress.com that i'd like to re-post here. Hope he doesn't mind:

As You Travel Through Life….
– Author Unknown –

As you travel through life there are always those times

When decisions just have to be made,

When the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce,

And the rain seems to soak your parade.

There are some situations where all you can do

Is simply let go and move on,

Gather your courage and choose a direction

That carries you toward a new dawn.

So pack up your troubles and take a step forward -

The process of change can be tough,

But think about all the excitement ahead

If you can be stalwart enough!

There might be adventures you never imagined

Just waiting around the next bend,

And wishes and dreams just about to come true

In ways you can’t yet comprehend!

Perhaps you’ll find friendships that spring from new things

As you challenge your status quo,

And learn there are so many options in life,

And so many ways you can grow!

Perhaps you’ll go places you never expected

And see things that you’ve never seen,

Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds

And wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you’ll find warmth and affection and caring

And somebody special who’s there

To help you stays centered and listen with interest

To stories and feelings you share.

Perhaps you’ll find comfort in knowing your friends

Are supportive of all that you do,

And believe that whatever decisions you make,

They’ll be the right choices for you.

So keep putting one foot in front of the other,

And taking your life day by day…

There’s a brighter tomorrow that’s just down the road -

Don’t look back!

You’re not going that way!

Sincerity

What does it mean to be sincere? Isn't it to be true to your word, to be honest of intention, to be steadfast in your promises?

Could sincerity exist in gray areas? Like either you sincerely believe in the right course of action and hate the wrong one or vice versa but not both?

Can a man be sincere in his intentions towards a girl when he is already married to somebody else? Could you use "falling out of love" as a reason to be sincere.

Could you equate sincerity as a character to someone who lies frequestly?

Could a man still be a good person even though he is insincere in some aspects of his life? Yes, i find this to be true. I personally know someone who can lie so easily without remorse, for his personal gain. I never approve of that kind of behavior and so often he appears evil to me. And yet, in some aspects of his life he is still a good person. He is kind, selective maybe. He is such an enigma to me.

Perhaps, if words aren't so reliable when it comes to determining the sincerity of a person, the better indicator is probably his action.

Oh well, i am such a straightforward type of person to me. I wonder if somebody doubts my sincerity?This is the only gift i receive with the sincerest intention and this one from my daughter.
