An active participant
The more effort you give, the more you expose yourself to the
possibility of disappointment. But that is certainly no
reason to avoid the effort.<P>
The more love you give, the more you expose yourself to the
possibility of being hurt. Yet it would hurt infinitely more
to have never given any love.<P>
Sure, life has its pitfalls. The key is not to avoid them
out of fear, but to overwhelm them with positive purpose.<P>
For effort, while it can sometimes bring disappointment,
more often brings great accomplishment. And love, while it
can bring heartbreak, more often brings a level of
fulfillment that cannot be matched.<P>
Every experience, no matter what the outcome, adds richness
and depth to your life. With the positive moments you build
joy, and with the difficult times you build strength.<P>
Engage yourself fully in the details of living, and with
each day you add value to your life that cannot be taken
away. Be an active, enthusiastic participant in this day,
and you'll come away from it with real, lasting treasure.<P>
