October has finally arrived (most likely my favorite month of the 12), and with it The Journey: A Calendar Book provides me with a reading which awakens me deep within.

For those nearly 6000 of you who keep up with this blog on a consistent basis, I'm constantly reminding of how "personal", personal success.  This is not something I tend to let slip from my mind.   I often tell my students, "The world is made up of an estimated 7 billion people.  At any given point in time what this actually means, to me, is our day to day events are made up of an estimated 7 billion worlds", for each of our worlds revolve around the One true light.  Not getting mystical here, just real.  Often our worlds collide, and when they do either an explosion takes place within us which awakens us and demands we create order, again, from chaos, or we give up and implode within, our light dwindling until it is extinguished.

Recently another world collided with my world.  The reading for October 1st, a quote by Anna Quindlen, an American author, journalist, and opinion columnist whose New York Times column, Public and Private, won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 1992, provided me with a renewed awareness of the importance of creating order from chaos instead of allowing my light to extinguish:

"If your success is not on your own terms it is not success at all" (The Journey: A Calendar Book, 2012).  How true this statement is.  Allowing bullying at any stage in life is NEVER an option, we would ALL agree with this.  The cloaks of this world: insecurity, ego, possessiveness, jealously, discrimination, prejudice; will NEVER darken my vision to the Light within me, which, no matter what forks on the path in this journey I'm presented with, will assure I'll always take the "road less traveled".

Keep looking up.  : )  AJ
