Continuity for Life

Why is it that when you are a little different from the majority, people consider you strange? Why do people judge so fast without looking in the mirror? Why do people seek individualism so badly?

For every death, there's a chance of birth to a new beginning.  A new beginning stems from optimism and certainty in us.You are allowing the universe to rotate and redevelop your cycle of life and produce new challenges that allow us to mature and feel like we are a part of the earth. Without decisions and challenges we'd be empty and hollow. A guaranteed way to grow into your beliefs is by soul searching . Soul searching is intriguing and valuable to the existence of your soul. It will give you definition and direction to where you want to go. Whether it's your career, your health, your values, your position as a parent-a sister-a brother-a soul mate or a friend.
