It is horrendous.
Within a day over three country towns have been disintegrated. Over 190 people have been killed. Animals, domestic and wild have been killed and maimed. Thousands of people have been traumatised and tormented. Places I have visited and have fond memories of no longer exist. The footage and stories of survivors and victims are like an action holocaust film.
But it's real!
Victoria has been burnt. The fires are not out yet either. The pain is far from over. The wounds are so fresh - mental and physical. The number of people still to be accounted for is significant. It is hard to believe that it has happened less than 50km (30 miles) away.
Humans are Fragile
It has taken so little to kill so many. Mother nature is so strong and unpredictable. It will take time but there will be positives in this situation. Not just the stories of miracles, courage and strength but the lessons of determination. To me this shows how short our lives are (even though they are the longest thing we will ever do) and how important it is to continue on with our dreams and our goals no matter what.
Never Give Up!
At times in the past I have wondered if the effort to do what I do is worth it. Wouldn't it be easier to just plod along and not strive as I do. This has reinforced that no one should settle. No one should live at anything less than the maximum that they can. Don't put it off. Do it now. Don't give up.
For those living through the horror of losing family, homes, pets, livelihoods, my thoughts are to never give up. Get help (there are so many who have come to help), get guidance (many health practitioners are donating or providing cheaply services to aid you) and keep moving.
If they can do it, why not me.
Life is tragic, but it's real. What holds you back from being all that you can be?
