You Are Like A Pencil

Yes you heard me right.... be a pencil! I saw this on my good friend Sylvia's blog page on another site and she gave me permission to repost. But she couldn't tell me where she found it.



You're Like A Pencil




1. Like a pencil, you can correct your mistakes. You can't change the past, but you can rectify it. And though you can't erase history, you can erase Guilt and anger with forgiveness.




2. Like a pencil, painful sharpening can serve to Make you better. Your difficult times can actually Sharpen your skills or shape you into the person You were meant to be.




3. Like a pencil, you can do great things when you Allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand.




4. Like a pencil, you can leave your mark whenever Possible. That is what you're here for -- to leave your Mark. It may be in small ways, it may be in the lives Of people you have touched or nurtured, but you must Leave something good behind whenever you can.




5. Like a pencil, it is what is on the inside that matters. Whether it is understanding or intolerance, love or Bitterness, peace or unrest, kindness or self- Centeredness, hope or despair, courage or fear, What is on the inside matters most.
