What Do You Believe?

we cannot say that we believe in something, and then by our actions, or even worse, inaction, contradict it! we are what we do, what we give, and where we are standing at the end of the day... we all make mistakes, we all fail on occasion, (i may be the worst!) ... but the mistakes and failures dont define us... how we react to them, whether we take ownership of them, and what we do to rectify them does! the concept that anyone can reach their dreams at the expense of anyone else is false... in order to restore integrity and dignity to our lives, we have to have purpose... and we have to have a deep level of commitment... we, and even our children, and their children, are and will be governed by the results of choices, choices already made, choices being made, and future choices! nothing happens by chance. we have no one else to blame... and we cant put it on a higher power... we cannot expect instant redemption, or divine intervention... it is up to us, as individuals, and as community! what do you believe? show me!
