Greetings my TKPHI Family
I wanted to share with you a piece that I read recently with the hopes that you would find the wisdom in it as I did.
Be Blessed and Always Encouraged
True fulfillment
Fulfillment is not what someone else says it is. Fulfillment is what you feel it to be.
When you chase goals that are not really yours, you’re not very likely to reach them. And even if you do, it will bring no real sense of satisfaction.
There’s much you can gain by always making a good impression. Yet if impressing others is the only thing that matters to you, life can be terribly sad and empty.
There are so many beautiful and original possibilities for your unique life. There’s no need to borrow the tired, old, worn-out clichés of what it means to have a rich and fulfilling life.
Live your own dreams, the ones that truly mean the world to you. To be authentically impressive you must first be authentic.
Fulfillment for you is whatever feels good and right and fulfilling to you. Live that true fulfillment, and experience the beautiful richness that is uniquely yours.

Wreckers nor Builders
I watched them tearing a building down,
A gang of men in a busy town.
With a ho-heave-ho and lusty yell,
They swung a beam and a sidewall fell.
I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled,
As the men you’d hire if you had to build?”
He gave me a laugh and said, “No indeed!
Just common labor is all I need.
I can easily wreck in a day or two
What builders have taken a year to do.”
And I tho’t to myself as I went my way,
Which of these two roles have I tried to play?
Am I a builder who works with care,
Measuring life by the rule and square?
Am I shaping my deeds by a well-made plan,
Patiently doing the best I can?
Or am I a wrecker who walks the town,
Content with the labor of tearing down?
