Training Wheels

We will find situations in our lives when it will be necessary to sustain our own inner freedom by reliance on the energy and faith of others. None of us can carry the burden of walking through life's great mystery alone, as situations will occur that seem unbearable. When we allow ourselves to be open and available enough to see outside of ourselves we will discover that each of has the ability to lift the spirit and the hope of someone else. In turn we will realize that we can let ourselves be lifted by the love, hope and spirit of those that surround us. Along our own individual paths we will find a source of guidance through other people. At every turn, let us allow ourselves to carry each other toward our greatest good.

We must realize that we are never alone and none of us should bear the burdens of life or bask in the rewards by ourselves. We can share our spirit at all times simply by reaching out to others with an open mind and a loving heart. It is important to understand that when someone is ready we can be there, but we should never force ourselves into their lives. By walking our own path with confidence, sincerity, trust and hope we allow others to do the same. Just as a child learns to ride a bike with training wheels or to walk with the assistance of a loving hand, we can always support someone that reaches out so long as we know to reach out ourselves. Let us avail ourselves to each other so that our assistance will enable others to chase their dreams.
