When I saw this new group, I thought to myself, “wow, this is gonna be one tough
ball to get rollin.”
But, since I’ve got balls of steel, I’d be glad to kick things off. :-)
I like LEGO, but I love people. I like building, but I love sharing. The act
of creation is a divine one, and whenever we build, we honor the Creator by
allowing him to work through us. We build structures. We build families. We
build friendships. We build hope. In times when we feel like everything is
just falling apart, it is vital that we make every effort to continually build
toward something. A goal. A destination. A state of mind. A sense of
well-being. A level of understanding, contentment and peace. No matter what,
or who, we lose, we must believe that we are always granted the necessary
strength in life, at all times, under all circumstances, to pull through, move
past and ultimately rise above all that we are asked to endure. There is no
such thing as a hopeless situation. If it seems like you’ve been dealt much
more than your fair share of hardship, do not feel cheated. Instead, feel
honored. Feel blessed. In life, you are never asked to endure more than you can
handle. Thus, gain strength in knowing that Someone up there knows, for a fact,
that you, specifically, posses such an abnormally incredible and uniquely
intense strength, so much more so than the average person, that you in
particular possess all the power and resources in your life to handle absolutely
everything tossed in your path. Most people don’t have to go through what you
do, and that’s not because you’re weaker than them, but rather because you are,
in fact, stronger. Ever wonder why bad things happen to good people? Well, if
bad things happened only to bad people, all they’d do is complain about it.
They’d be too ignorant to learn the lessons that are staring them right in the
face, and their only function in life would be to make everyone else miserable.
But, when something bad happens to someone good, it’s a completely different
story. Good people do not close their eyes to the truth – they embrace it and
face it head on. They keep a clear head and an open heart, and in overcoming
their obstacles, they act as an inspiration to us all. The triumphs of the weak
become the strengths of the world. By your example, the work of the Creator is
done.
Believe me, I’ve got a lot more to add to this topic. And, it is all very LEGO
related. There’s a lot to share, and a lot of us to share with. I’m looking
forward to a nice balance of seriousness and humor in here: a lighthearted and
respectful exchange of ideas, experiences, inspirations, motivations and
creations. If we try, it can turn out really good.
