Believe In the Goodness of Mankind

Choosing the right path in life can be full of enormous elements and can seem perplexing and confusing at times, but its an intricate part of who you become with your happiness and self worth. Elements like; God, friends, mentors, family, your own decisions...based on your acquired knowledge, environmental, character attributes and a little bit of Irish luck (bless my great grand parents), play a part in who you become and the choice between a right or left turn. No matter who you become, or what road you pick to turn down, always remember that anyone can contribute to life and offer something substantial because everyone has had a unique experience out of their own life. Everyone has their own niche. Education, money and material things do NOT make you successful, happy or smart. Smart people do dumb things too and rich people aren't necessarily successful, just watch the movie "Bucket List." The only boundaries to life are the ones we create.
Ann Landers "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."

Eleanor Roosevelt "Only a man's character is the real criterion of worth."
So be wise and do the right thing ...don't judge just love. Be the believer in the relationship and give someone a chance, they just might surprise you. After all, believing in someone is half the battle of helping them improve on their life.

I took this photo in W. Virgina on my second cousin's farm where her cattle; Shirley, Easter and some other interesting names roamed. And of course, like my other photo's, I've doctored them up using Picasa to enhance them...love digital photography you can paint pictures without having to use liquid paints.
