Begin the New Day

The past does not equal the future.
Because you may have failed a moment ago,
all day today,
or for the last six months,
or for the last sixteen years,
or for the last fifty years of your life
doesn't mean anything.
All that matters is
what are you going to do now?

                                                                                                                       Anthony Robbins

For one brief moment, the sun rises and casts a highway across the water --and if you dare, you can step on that path and follow to where it leads.  Really... Close your eyes, step out and see yourself walking on it into the mountains to the other side.  Is there ever a looking back after such a journey?  The only question is from Anthony Robbins--what will you do on the other side of the mountains?  Will you keep walking?  Or will there come another time when you can descend into your heart of hearts and set out a new on the light that God casts before you?  

The point of course is that whenever we make ourselves the end of the journey--the journey indeed stops right in our tracks.  But when the light of a new day beckons and we head for the mountains--the sheer enormity of who we are as God's creation--shall we stop and look back?  

Alas, more than once have we allowed the past to bury the future.
