Horizons Expand

"Some strive to make themselves great. Others help others 

see and find their own greatness. It's the latter who really 

enrich the world we live in."

Rasheed Ogunlaru

If we believe life is a race, we will be obsessed with competition and winning.  We will be self-focused, leaving others in our 'dust'.  If we believe life is a journey, we will be curious and inclusive.  It would seem that when we cease to be exclusive, our horizons expand! 

It is important to be able to offer our best to the world.  If we attempt to excel on our own, we may be successful, but not as compassionate and diverse, When we allow others to engage, we begin to nurture collectively and diversely. 

When we choose to climb a ladder, stepping upon others as we proceed, we can arrive at the top, but for how long?  Often, resentment, jealousy, and anger becomes retaliated. The results are different if we clasp hands with others along the way, allowing others to become a part of our journey celebrating a reflective outcome.
