May 5th

Resolve


Banish uncertainty.
Affirm strength.
Hold resolve.
Expect death.
Make your stand today. On this spot. On this day. Make your actions count; do not falter in your determination to fulfill your destiny. Don't follow the destiny outlined in some mystical book : Create your own.Your resolve to tread the path of life is your best asset. Without it, you die. Death is unavoidable, but let it not be from loss of will but because your time is over. As long as you can keep going, use your imagination to cope with the travails of life. Overcome your obstacles and realize what you envision.
You will know unexpected happiness. You will know the sorrow of seeing what is dearest to you cut down before your eyes. Accept that. That is the nature of human existence, and you have no time to buffer this fact with fairy tales and illogical explanations.
Each day, your life grows shorter by twenty-four hours. The time to make achievements becomes more precious. You must fulfill everything you want in life and then release your will upon the moment of death. Your life is a creation that dies when you die. Release it, give up your individuality, and in so doing, finally merge completely with Tao.
Until that moment, create the poetry of your life with toughness and determination.


Personal Interpretation


We must have the resolve to live our lives fully until we heave our last breath upon this Earth. Life will not always be pleasant or predictable, but it will largely be what we make of it. We will experience unexpected joy and watch our loved ones die. We will endure heartbreak and connect with kindred spirits. It is alright to have our moments of weakness, but we must always be willing to get back up. We don't know what the future has in store for us, and we must be able to adapt when necessary, but we must also devise plans and do our best to fulfill the goals we make for ourselves. We must strive to give purpose to our days here.
