There are those of you
out there for whom the past generations have been a disappointment and have
passed on a torch to you that was nearly burned out. They could perhaps have
done better and made things a lot easier for you. Realize, though, that you
still have the power to turn things around. Your parents’ failures do not have
to be your failures. Neither do you have to suffer the consequences of their
mistakes forever. You have the opportunity now to make things better for those
that will be after you.
Henry Ward advises that
“We should so live and labor in our times that what came to us as seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom may go to them as fruit. This expresses the true spirit
in the love of mankind.”
As the torch handed to
us by our forefather’s burns in our hands we should endeavor to hand it to the
next generation burning even brighter.
YOU
ARE ALL YOU CAN BE. GO ON AND BE IT.
