"You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth... Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable." -- Kahlil Gibran

Opportunity

"Our ability to change the world lies in our hands, minds, hearts,
bodies, and spirits ~ committed in
action.

It's not only that we can make a difference,
it's that we do make the difference.
The kind of change we make is up to us.
Each and every one of us has the power to heal or to hurt,
to be the hero or the destroyer ~
with every moment, with every breath of every day".

~ Julia Butterfly Hill, from One Makes the Difference

We hold within ourselves real power to mold the course of our lives. In every moment, we have the
opportunity to make decisions, to instigate change, and to take action to empower ourselves. Often we become stuck in old mindsets,feeling we are defined by our circumstances. When we allow
ourselves to be controlled by external influences, we lose opportunities to better ourselves and the world we live in.

To make the most of opportunity means to be conscious of our thought patterns, and the reasons behind our decisions to act or not act. Opportunities are found by those who are empowered enough to
recognize them, and strong enough in their faith to take a chance at a new way of doing things.
