The Greatest
https://www.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJVINNsf_QE A REFLECTION: Some measure success by the attainment of material wealth or job title. I much prefer to measure it by the capacity one has learned to give and accept love in this lifetime. Within that life true happiness is attained. We all battle frustration, weakness, poor choices, cowardice, disappointment, and overwhelming fear, especially […]
