Morning Pep- talk

Don't embrace the possible.
It is stagnant. It is already defeated.

Embrace the impossible, the improbable- daring you to make it contrary, to break it, to make it submit to your will.

Don't sit with the naysayers; the loud and braying mass so easily content to be swept up in rivers that glide them through already carved paths.

Run with the dreamers- those who dare to believe; those quiet, determined few who climb mountains to plant flags, and feel the lashing tide beat their chest in ardent protest as they go against its flow.

You alone know the strength of the wind that lifts your sail, and you alone should dictate how far, how fast and how long you push to reach your chartered shore. 

ambition

I want to be inspired.
I want to wake up each morning and be bursting to get to work, to have the other half of my life mean something, to do something I love without it compromising my ability to take care of my family.
I want to use the gifts I believe I've been given, to comfort, to entertain, to spur empathy, compassion, to show the world as it should be, as I hope it will become.
I want to be inspired as much as I want to inspire.
I hope I get there soon.
