The atmosphere was so soft that you could hear them talking. The first one said, I am PEACE, however, nobody can keep me lit. I believe I will go out. Its flame rapidly weakens and goes out completely. The second one says, I am FAITH. I am no longer essential, so it does not make any sense that I stay lit any longer. “When it finished talking, a wind softly blew on it, putting it out. Sadly, the third candle spoke in its turn, I am LOVE. I have not got the strength to stay lit. People put me aside and dont understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them.” And waiting no longer, it goes out. Suddenly a child entered the room and saw three candles not burning,” Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit till the end.” Saying this, the child began to cry. Then the fourth candle said, “Dont be afraid. While I am still burning, we can re-light the other candles. I am HOPE.” With shining eyes, the child took the candle of Hope and lit the other candles. Hope never abandons you. Dont follow your fears, but your hopes and dreams. Dont think about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Dont concern yourself with what you have tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.21.
