Cold Freshly Fallen Snow

There's a irony when it comes to freshly fallen snow. It's so cold. It's chilling and is sometimes accompanied with a harsh wind.

However, there's also a peaceful serenity. A consequence of all the snow, is less people on the road; less noise, less hustle and bustle, less "gotta get there now."

It's quiet, if for a few moments. How could something so cold, so chilling, and at times so dangerous, bring an equal amount of peace and tranquility?

In a way it brings emptiness. Not the emotionally empty, but the mentally empty, where thoughts are free to roam across the empty landscape of ones mind like bison or elk.

This feeling is freeing. It's liberating. Freshly fallen snow is purity; is cleansing; is empty. It's a canvas waiting to be filled with the masterpiece of ones mind.

Feel the cold. Embrace the emptiness.

My Motto

For any who read this blog I have a personal motto. It is actually the name of this blog. "Always Pushing Forward"

Why do I have this motto? Because life can be hard, and it has the opportunity to be a road block in our path. But my personal belief is that we must keep trying. We must keep pushing on otherwise we are going nowhere. We are not progressing. We are stagnant.

We may not get over that bump in the road right now, but if we keep trying we will learn what works and what doesn't work. We can narrow down the correct path to help us get over that block and onto the next one. Because there will be a next one. 

I invite anyone who reads this to keep pushing forward. You can get over the block that is presently in your path. Trust yourself. Believe in yourself. Lift yourself up. We are all amazingly talented individuals who if we set our minds to something, we can achieve it. Go! Always Push Forward!
