A New Year has begun

I find hope in the darkest of days

And focus in the brightest

I do not judge the universe

(HRH Dalai Llama)

These words of the HRH Dalai Llama,always spur life into me when I feel lost. We all feel lost at times,which direction do we go, or do we carry straight on as before. A new year has begun and it is full of new years promises that many will be unable to keep. So we should not make promises we know will be very difficult to keep, instead ones that we may fulfil, this way we will keep our confidence alive in the knowledge that we can make promises and keep them. The wisdom of these few words assist us when things do not go as planned and we lose our way. On the 1st day of the New Year I wrote them in my diary, to look at from time to time, but now they are in my heart
