Chase away negative thoughts

Just about an hour ago, I was indulging in a bit of self-pity. Something happened in the office that took the wind off my sails. For the better part of 60 minutes, I wallowed in a bout of self-incrimination and blame.

The dark hour is over. I have recovered and regained my bearings. Sometimes, one easily slips into an avenue not desired. I suppose it happens to the most mature among us.

Moments like that serve as a lesson to me. I am sure it has happened to a good number of us. What does it profit a man to undertake a lonely journey on the sad side of life?

Now that the light is again shining on my path, I can think clearly and know that every individual who lives now, is another side of me. We are all part of a universal family unit.

It may be difficult to understand such a concept but the wise men of yore understood this philosophy. I am beginning to catch a glimpse or two of this vista of infinite wisdom.

In my present moment of clarity, let me not return to the track less taken. Surely, we the living are more deserving of a happy and healthy life. No individual yet born wants to lead a sad existence.

Let it be known that joy and inspiration is the right of every living human being. We the knowledgeable and the wise must lead the others who have yet to regain their sight to the road where shadows never fall.
