you have a choice

there is good, and there is evil. right, and wrong. and if we are blessed with wisdom, then there are glimpses between the cracks of each where light streams through. we wait in silence for these times, when sense can be made. our purpose presents itself if we have the strength to be honest, and what we find there, staring back at us, is our own reflection. bearing witness to the duality of life. and each one of us is capable of both the dark, and the light.. the good and evil, of either, of all. and destiny, while marching ever in our direction can be rerouted by the choices we make. by the love we hold on to, and the promises we keep.

the struggle is real.

i hear people talking about how

"the struggle is real."

 yes, my friend, the struggle is real but so is the strength that comes after it.
(if you don't quit)

 keep this in mind when ever you are going through hard times,

"no struggle, no strength."

destiny

you do not choose your destiny, it chooses you. and those that knew you before fate took you by the hand cannot understand the depth of the changes inside. they cannot fathom how much you stand to lose in failure...that you are the instrument of flawless design. and all of life may hang in the balance. you learn quickly who can comprehend and who merely stands in your way.

you are not everyone's cup of tea

the world is filled with people who, no matter what you do, will not like you.

but the world is also filled with those who will love you.

the ones that love you are on your team.

don’t waste your time trying to convince the people to join your team.

they are either with you or not.

seek to share your path with those who recognize and appreciate your gifts, who you are. be who you are.

you are not everyone’s cup of tea and that is ok.
