change...

here's the thing...

you gotta have struggle....and sometimes pain....and stuff that's uncomfortable....to make you want to climb that ladder...another rung.  one more step to make you climb...

the rungs of joy and pain...and sunshine and rain (credit to rob base for that)...

you need to have a reason why...to keep climbing.  You don't like something?

 change it....

growth can be painful....it can make other people uncomfortable...

but your growth is not supposed to be in accordance with other people's plans and what they want for themselves.

when you're at the end of it all....you know...this life on earth....you look back and say....

wow, i'm really glad I did exactly what everyone else wanted...because it made me a happier person...I didn't need to have my own dreams...I just followed what they wanted for me....


right?

that's rewarding?   I dunno....maybe some people can be happy with that....some people like it when other people order their ice-cream for them....and they always get handed vanilla..and they are happy with that.


what do you want to be?  do you want to pick out your own ice-cream?  something less-vanilla?


what if you are a powerful lion.....who sits in captivity....and gets gazelles handed to you.

what if everything was so much mediocrity of ...freaking... just good-enough- mediocre gazelles handed to you.....and you were happy with that....

you'd never change anything... it's safe...

sometimes, people are like that....sitting in a zoo, in captivity, having life determined for them.....

sometimes...something has to suck ass....

so you change something.  although...sometimes, even when things suck ass people sit in that suck ass zoo.....

and it's weird....because the door isn't locked...and they can push the gate open and walk out.


think outside of the zoo.

it's like...taking that moment.....the one where you always do that thing on Tuesday or Wednesday..because that's what you do....

and just...do something different.

or learn something different...

or just pick

cherry...instead of vanilla.


and the small movements of expression lead to a change in thought...in words and action....

and then the wheel starts spinning.


and you move to change....because change is good for the soul and you realize....

the more you love and take care of yourself...

the more love you can give....


peace and love....
