Whenever I read about the untimely demise of people, I ask myself, why such a tragic ending? With the loss of Glee star, Cory Montieth, with good looks, money, fame, a family and a lovely co-star and girlfriend, what could possibly have led to such a conclusion? The answer lies not in the ending, splashed across the television and the tabloids, but in the beginning of the story. Whether it is in our work/service, our relationships, our art, or our creations, our belief in ourselves determines the outcome. There are no “Bad Times” only learning times. In this life, recognizing how truly important, significant and wonderful we are will always lead to the most positive outcomes. Get up, get going, and, in all of our endeavors, let us make beautiful beginnings over and over again!
