Time to Move

There is a movement, a stir on the planet. A new breed of humans, living among us, superseding age, ethnicity, sexual preference, surpassing all genres and discriminative categories, these people live out loud,they don't check boxes, they don't fit in, they live in full color, use the full capacity of their hearts, imaginations, and minds. From a three year old who genuinely wants you to know that he loves you so he tells you every 30minutes of the day. From and eight year old who feels the pain of others so much she hands a young woman her $5.00 allowance after hearing the woman's tears of being broke again. What we call children are so much more. They push and pull us "adults" to see ourselves, our situations, they are mirrors and beautiful reflections of the innocence the world still carries. This movement is big, it makes a young man choose to dream of changing his circumstance, focused he creates a new plan, a new outlook, looks around at the world he has conceived, and finds reasons to be proud. Women are radiant lights among a persistent gloom. I've seen women who stand taller when beaten down, women who were told they were dumb pursing a PH.D! Women who were taught to stay small rise to the heavens!!! Get excited, feel that stir, you are so damn BIG, so amazing. You are, I am, the movement. Our breed does not judge, does not fail, does not gripe, does not kill or destroy anything given by god. We are a people in the process of rebuilding castles...
the happy ending is in each ones grasp, just reach.

Endless Possibilities

The Possibilities are endless
I heard this today with so many other amazing words the world spoke ... it whispered "don't just be a river be an ocean" it yelled "LET GO" it spoke to so many parts of me today... however I'll focus on "the possibilities are endless"
It kind of sounds like those crystal ball answers, you know the ones where the answer seems to be interchangeable, safe, not clear at all... although if we look closer
THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS
the truth is we're always searching for a definite left or right, we beg of our friends and our family for advice, opinions, something to help us determine what we want. The reason this statement seems like it can go either way is because that is the beauty of life. Decisions, directions all lead us somewhere,anywhere, everywhere. Even when we decide later that that is not the place we want to be anymore, we must acknowledge that we once made a decision based on our desire. It was not always the worst mistake you ever made! We have to come to place in life where regret does not exist, and I know that sounds crazy, but it's possible! The possibilities are indeed endless once you trust yourself. You can go, become, experience, succeed, win, complete, conquer, anything, everything! Just as easy as it is to fail, fall, fuck up if you will. Why do we focus on how easy it will be for us to choose incorrectly, and what if we erase the option to fail completely from our list.
