Always and Never.

I had written a post for this, but I deleted it. It's OK I can do that. I rather think a simpler post would do more with much less.

I have read that "Always and never are two word that you should always remember never to use."

I could not agree more with that sentiment. Too many things in life that we always thought would be true end up being false. And too many things we swore would never be end up being. That's life. The story of life would not be complete with out gains and losses.

It's more important that we identify what is important to us and protect those things. Keep them as close as we can and do everything we can to care for them. While it's true there is nothing we can to to assure that we are successful in maintaining the things we hold dear, imagine the pain when we lose those things or when what we swore would never happen comes down the line and we know we never did enough to protect it or prevent it as the case may be.

Know what matters to you and pursue it and protect it. This is a lesson that I'm learning the hard way.
