One of Christopher's favorite quotes is:""Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are we not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fears, our presence automatically liberates others." - Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech, 1994
If there is no struggle
There is no progress.
Those who profess to favor freedom,
And yet deprecate agitation,
Are men [and women] who want crops
Without plowing up the ground,
They want rain
Without thunder and lightning.
They want the ocean
...Expand for more
Without the awful roar of its waters.
This struggle may be a moral one;
Or it may be a physical one;
Or it may be both moral and physical;
But it must be a struggle.
Frederick Douglass
It's through those individuals we have as anchors in our life that provide strength to succeed and to grow! Without those people we may not find the inspiration or notice the gifts that we have!! To really see them grow and know that your inspiration & guidance is what made it happen is PHENOMENAL!
I believe this to be my calling and my gift, to those that seek to take flight and show them how to fly :)
Without being honest with yourself, you're living a lie and calling it life!
BE.. 2 letters B.E. decide to exist...what is your reason for who you are! Invite yourself to the world and tell them BE curious! Do not BE JUDGMENTAL! Ask why? The one theory that I hold very true is to be curious..DO NOT let someone else lay the path for you! lay the unbeaten path for yourself..you've been given the tools now be an explorer!

Always remember:
"Your braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
-Christopher Robin
Failure is only a second chance at success!!
Anyone that hasn't experienced adversity hasn't felt successful!!
If it's not a challenge then put it on somebody else's plate :)
Man is not a creature of circumstance.. circumstance is the creature of man!
We don't quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing! Thanks for the reminder Timmy:) <3 ya".
