DUALITY

I'VE NOT PUT UP ANY LAYOUTS FOR AWHILE. I'VE GOT A PRETTY ONE HERE. I GOT MY INSPIRATION FORM A POEM IN THE BACK OF A MAGAZINE AND ADDED MY OWN TO IT.

IT SAYS: HOPE WORKS IN THESE WAYS:
IT LOOKS FOR THE GOOD IN PEOPLE INSTEAD OF HARPING ON THE WORST;
IT DISCOVERS WHAT CAN BE DONE INSTEAD OF GRUMBLING ABOUT WHAT CANNOT;
IT REGARDS PROBLEMS, LARGE OR SMALL, AS OPPORTUNITIES;
IT PUSHES AHEAD WHEN IT WOULD BE EASIER TO QUIT;
IT "LIGHTS THE CANDLE" INSTEAD OF "CURSING HE DARKNESS"

RESIGNATION WORKS IN THESE WAYS:
HAVING LOOKED FOR THE GOOD IN PEOPLE , IT REALIZES THAT IN SOME THERE IS NO LONGER ANY;
IT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE ARE JUST SOME THINGS YOU CANNOT CHANGE.
IT KNOWS THAT IF YOU KEEP EXPENDING YOUR ENERGY TRYING, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES LEFT OVER FOR MORE WORTHWHILE ENDEAVORS.
IT TAKES COMFORT IN THE CERTAINTY THAT EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE NO CANDLE TO LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS, YOU ARE NOT ALONE THERE.
