This view compelled me to park, take the shot, and write. It's been a f%*ing journey. But to finally be able to see my selfless mother smile with pride, the faithful loved ones in my life smile with pride, and to feel the loved ones that departed, smile down with pride.. -at the position I am at on this long road- has overwhelmed me with tears of joy. I still have a long ways to accomplish all that I have set out to do- But I can feel.. &I can hear.. this soul burning hotter by the minute. I can see my calling materializing every day I answer it with Faith. So from now on, I'm wearing my heart outside of my chest for with this heart nothing will stop me. Back in the city that raised me. San Francisco I'm home :) #morningmotivation (at Embarcadero)

Most of the smart people I know want nothing to do with politics. … We expect other people to do it for us, and grumble when they get it wrong. We feel that our responsibility stops at the ballot box, if we even get that far. After that we’re as laissez-faire as we can get away with. … What worries me is that while we’re laissez-ing, someone else is faire-ing.

I’ve spent so much time in my head and in my heart that I forgot to live in my body.”

Realistic?

"Do something more realistic?"

Well,

what is realistic is that death is amongst all of us, looking to snatch our existence at any unexpected moment of life and place our souls in the greater beyond.

what is realistic is that life is a gift to be cherished in the moment with meaning because these moments do not deserve mediocrity.

what is realistic is that this energy that has been borrowed from should never be returned unused.

what is realistic is that the common phrase of "thinking practical" has been misconstrued into "thinking for yourself and your future based off what has been done" - whereas practical thinking should be practiced with mindfulness and understanding that a better world is real.

what is realistic is that I fill these moments with life and meaning.
