opportunity
I see so much opportunity, and how privilege feeds that. How I can pick and choose amongst these choices, while so many others struggle to get by.
How can I leverage privilege and expand opportunity for all?
Is this how I make the world better?
this morning sunlight
a new day bringing its grace
go seek out beauty
It’s Monday morning
Such potential awaits us
Now, what will you do?
Carpet diem, as the adage goes. Seize this day! What will you make of it? I hope something grand.
Perfection released
Forever seeking to grow
Gentle humbleness
There’s a power in humility. Slowly I’m growing forward.
As I seek to grow
I’m refusing to stagnate
Pursuing greatness
Go find your purpose
Don’t minimize your great gifts
Embracing your path
Keep moving forwards
Resist hiding from your fear
Let it give you focus
So, why am I here?
Such a powerful question
This path to greatness
I want to grow, to become more, do important things, make a positive impact upon this place I love. That is what I mean by “greatness” . But that’s only a part. How I need to define my goal.
As Thich Naht Hahn said, “The path is the goal”. It’s a fluid, moving target, evolving as my soul grows. I find this beautiful.
I will resist fear
And all that’s holding me back
Embrace my future
Each day is a gift
The path that leads to greatness
Starts within this truth
Go and do great things my friends.
