“Try not to become a person of success,
but rather
try to become a person of value”
It is far more important
to be ‘a person of value’
than someone who succeeds all of the time.
‘A person of value’
always strives to have a positive impact
on this world and on other people.
Being positive
brings kindness
and love
and strength
to the society we live in.
Success is important
but it can bring only temporary satisfaction,
whereas
‘persons of value’ bring “value”
to people’s lives today.
How deep is our character?
Or how shallow?
The more determined we are,
the more depth of character
we have to give others.
We want to encourage and inspire
those who we share our lives with,
whether family, friends or even strangers.
It is “good”
to focus on cultivating
a positive and optimistic character
because only then can we contribute
a life of value to the world we live in.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Ghostly Happenings in Colorado
Disturbed Spirits In Denver, an expanse of greenery, Cheesman Park comes with a macabre history since it was once a burial ground known as Mount Prospect Cemetery established by General William Larimer in 1858. The job of exhuming bodies began, and some were left behind resting beneath the park. However, the ghostly spirits don’t wish to rest in peace beneath the park, and visitors here have felt cold touches, seen ghostly children playing at night, and heard a singing lady who disappears when approached.
