Once In A Lifetime...

Take it from me!  It's so hard to learn the lessons we need to learn in life by watching others stumble over the same pitfalls we don't see until it is our mistake to make.  Opportunity to do the right thing comes in many forms.  Some are easier to take.  If only we could give a little bit more attention to the missteps of others, and learn to avoid the same.

Day by day, moment by moment - we are building a great temple.  A house.  A life in which our destiny is forever sealed in time.  Character is something that cannot be ignored or changed  after we are gone from this life.  Each day is another "brick in the wall" of our future home.  A palace or a hovel.  A beautiful tapestry or a bag of bones.  But build we must.  There is no escape.  Silently each moment in time lures us on in the formation of this artifice we will call home.  Eternity beckons us to build it well.  Build a character you can be proud of - a Character which will win for you the blue ribbon prize of immortality!  After all -

It only happens once in a lifetime!
