\"thedayofdays\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some days hold more meaning than others, it seems.<\/p>\n

This usually occurs with a birthday, or an anniversary date.\u00a0 Sometimes though, the universe opens up and we have a big dang day… right out of the clear blue.<\/p>\n

Those are days to remember.
\nAnd on this day ….. I do just that sort of remembering.\u00a0 It marks one of the days in my life when I began learning some new things.\u00a0 About myself.\u00a0 About life itself.<\/p>\n

It is one of my favorite times or the year.\u00a0 I have mentioned it before.\u00a0 It is 03\/04.\u00a0 Or… if you say it out loud.\u00a0 March Fourth.<\/p>\n

March Forth.<\/p>\n

And that is what I did.\u00a0 Since that time I have learned a bunch of good little lessons.\u00a0 A whole bunch.\u00a0 I am still trying to live by them all…. but as hard as I try… sometimes I miss a step.\u00a0 Sometimes I fall flat on my goofy face.\u00a0 Yet…. the BIG lesson has stuck with me.\u00a0 That what I have held on to.\u00a0 Like an adorable little pig.<\/p>\n

The simplest questions in this world…. are the most profound.\u00a0\u00a0 Some of the questions I continue to ask….. Where were you born?\u00a0 (We can be born over and over again…. you know.)\u00a0 Where is your home?\u00a0 (Home has a lot of meanings….)\u00a0 Where are you going?\u00a0 (Not in my Hot Rod of a car… but on my life path.)\u00a0\u00a0 What are you doing?\u00a0 (And this one is HUGE.)<\/p>\n

Our only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to ourselves. If we lose that… we have lost our own person.\u00a0 Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the sure sign of a false message.<\/p>\n

We are never given a wish without being given the power to make it true. If we wish it…. it can come true.\u00a0 We may have to work for it, however.<\/p>\n

We are led through our lives….. by that little inner being that is longing to learn new things.\u00a0 In that…. we should try very lovingly not to turn away from possible futures…… unless, of course…… we\u2019re certain we don\u2019t have anything to learn from them.<\/p>\n

We are always free to change.\u00a0 It is a profound freedom.<\/p>\n

And…. all of the above may be completely wrong for you.\u00a0 But for me, it is true, and I strive to march forth with it.\u00a0 May peace be with each of you.<\/p>\n

The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.<\/span>\u00a0 —\u00a0 Nathaniel Branden<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
