Looking forward with hope

Whilst I am eating my breakfast a few miles away, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people are waiting for a moment, no several moments to take place.   Many have come hundreds of miles, grabbed a front row position and slept on hard pavements.  For the sake of an episode of history scores have been in physical discomfort, determined in their hearts to be present when it happens.  They have sacrificed their time, money and effort to be in the crowd at someone else’s happy event, where a brick had been laid in the building that constitutes their life vision for themselves.  They have counted the cost and thought it worthy of the price.  There are individuals who have physical collections related to the event and other aspects of royal life, and want to add the atmosphere of the day to these.  Somehow today for a portion, is an important moment in their existence; they believe it will help them because of the faith and hope it carries within its passing.
As you reflect on the day’s event, think about the moments in your history that have been important to your development.  Some of those times may not bring back pleasant memories, but somehow they have helped shape you for better or for worse.  Only you know. 
In considering your development, what haves are you holding on to that don’t make you a better person?  What price are you prepared to pay to see your vision become a reality, to see your worse become better, your poorer become richer, to see the unhealthy things in your life become well?  It will cost you something as anything of value does, but it’s worth it.  As it becomes a part of your personal history the whole world may not know about this, but that does not matter.  What does is what you do with its content.
