MAY THE WINDS OF SUCCESS LEAVE YOU REFRESHED....

           There must be refuge to Men
            Perished in winter winds till one smote fire
            From flint stones coldly hiding what they held,
           The red spark treasured from the kindling sun;
           They gorged on flesh like wolves,till one sowed corn,
            Which grew a weed, yet makes the life of man;
            They mowed and babbled till some tongue struck speech
             And patient fingers framed the lettered sound.
             What good gift have my brothers, but it came
             From search and strife and loving sacrifice?
                                                              -Edwin Arnold

I have sweet words for you my friend - success is real, it is a fruit of our works. It's sparked by the challenges we encounter. It's housed in Men - the sons and daughters of God. Thinkers call it 'the motivational force in Men' - the invisible hand that guides the mind of Men.

Which begs the question; why is sufferance part and parcel of the world? The answer is found in the words of Edwin Arnold. He posits that Man possesses a refuge. And that refuge is within him.

It revolves around Man's understanding of life - the place of challenges in the making of the world. He asserts that these challenges are good - for without them  Man loses creativity and the driving force to move things. They are here with us. We live to conquer them. 

As you plan to conclude your year, may you find time to explore your refuge. May you swim in the cool waters of this land. I pray that the winds of success will leave you refreshed and motivated to dig deep into your goldmine. You are  destined for great things. GOD BLESS!
