risk: our time is now.

the great: shel silverstein

sometimes we feel like shit.
for a long time.
it's confusing and it hurts.
sometimes it feels as if it will never go away.
it's okay to feel this way. at least we are feeling something- it is a sign of life, no matter how painful.

other times we feel great.
we are infinite and nothing can touch us.
the world is ours. we can accomplish our dreams.
remember these times for when your heart feels like shit- encourage the spirit to learn deeply from the downs and how to hold on to the greats.

up, down, over and across.
maybe we'll never be balanced. but at least we can learn to roll with the tide with joy deep within.



A word on my mind lately: risk. 
a word burnt in to my soul. plastered on the backs of my eyelids when i blink.
an actionable. a quest. a necessity.

we must take risks in this life... or else one day we'll look back and think, 'i should have/could have done so much much more.'

...and do you ever stop to think; we might not even live long enough to 'look back'?

there is a sense of urgency that should not overwhelm the spirit but gently propel it in to growth.
each. and. every. day.

take risks. crash and burn if you have to. just do it. 
find the courge. from somewhere. anywhere. fake it and feel scared... and then grow. 

embrace the thoughts that continuously swim with in your head: who the hell knows what they're doing anyway? what do i want to do? who am i? how the hell do i accomplish what i want to accomplish?
and then let them go. and just go about doing what it is you intuitively know you are supposed to do. 

swim out of your element.
weigh your wants and needs. live simply. be great. 

sometimes when i feel alone, i remember that no one knows what the fuck is going on. at least i tell myself this...... and then i remember to have a good time with it.

we can do anything. 
we will soar... if we allow ourselves to. 

(our time is now.)
