It saddens me to see people struggling through life, unaware of what it is really all about and so unable to smooth their own path. The most difficult thing to accept is that you cannot help those who will not be helped. Not for nothing was the old idiom 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink' written in the annals of history. There are none so deaf as those who will not hear.
No, you have to wait for someone to be ready to hear what you have to say, rather than try to convince them of anything that they are unable to accept as a possible alternative to what they have always believed. That is why I wrote "An Invitation to Think". I was compelled to put my thoughts in writing and make it available to the world, for anyone who might be interested in exploring the possibility that the world can be fixed and returned to being a place suitable for human habitation rather than continuing the downward spiral we are currently helter-skeltering down.
It is exactly what the title exhorts - an invitation to start looking at life from a new angle - one that you feel might well be better than you have been taught. After all, you are master of your own destiny, and if you don't see yourself as the hero of your own story, there isn't a chance that anyone else will. Our purpose is not to be one of a crowd, but to be an individual making a positive contribution to the whole. And it's never too late to start.
Every moment of every day is an opportunity to rewrite your story and become the shining light you are.
