We all burn like a candle…for some the intensity of their flame is blinding…and for others it seems only a flicker always on the verge of extinguishing. Somewhere in between is the essential balance that ensures you do not burn out to fast and, not so dim that your light never escapes your own gravity. Let your flame burn honest and true, and find its luminescence from your soul and spirit…not from the intensity of the fire and the air it breaths…this is the magic, the trick to keeping your candle steady no matter the storms that may rage from time to time around you. Discover this – understand that the flame that is you, is no more bound by the physics and gravity of your dreams…believe this, and you’ll be truly free to burn bright forever…and become a source of light for others.

About Lawrence Lewis
I do a number of things professionally...but most of all and the true purpose of what I do through "my work" is to provide for my family, be a good husband and great father, and try to make a difference as a world citizen...I guess it's not much more complicated than that 🙂
