A few days ago I was outside and for the first few minutes I was in one spot and then a few minutes later I was moved strangely the tree I was looking at looked completely different from a different angle I guess it’s kind of like life situations look different depending on what you’re standing

A few days ago I watched Dan and Shay’s “Tequila” music I liked the song but I loved even more that Dan AND Shay invited Nyle DiMarco (a really accomplished guy who just happens to be deaf) to help tell the story of the beautiful song I thought it was awesome I seldom see differently-abled people in music Well done Nyle, Dan, Shay and everybody involved in the making of this music video.

Recently it occurred to me that most people with good intention are too busy thinking about things and praying about things (I have nothing against praying I pray A LOT but I don’t pray about whether I should do a good thing or not because I know if it’s good God wants me to do it) and not actually doing anything while the people with evil intentions are doing a lot and causing suffering in the process I wish well-intentioned people would have the courage to do more and evil-intentioned people the empathy to do less.

This morning as I struggled to finish my breakfast I remembered my brief time in the township (shanty town) and seeing how the majority in my country live and I found myself trying to finish my plate (the things I have seen and the experiences I’ve had have taught me to always be grateful and seldom be wasteful).
Nobody is me and that is my power – that’s what I was reminded of today.

Today I sort of lost the plot and started focusing on everybody else until life not-so-subtly reminded me that nobody is me and that is my power (others have things that I don’t have but I also have things that they don’t have) I’m going to focus and use all of who I am to make my mark on the world.
Try to be divine more than you err – that’s my message to the world.

Recently I finished reading Be Obsessed or Be Average by Grant Cardone the book is counterintuitive in that it sort of tells you that everything you’ve taught about achievement is wrong the world says slow down take a vacation while Grant says go all-in to achieve your goals be obsessed I LOVE the book because for the first time ever I feel like the fact that I’m obsessed with my goals is not something I should try to change. I am obsessed and I refuse to be average #BeObsessed .
