I understand what it feels like to FINALLY "get it." To be able to step outside of the destructive NORUS and view the world through a different lens. To understand that simple is not always best AND complicated could sometimes be necessary to invoke thought, growth, AND liberty.

Other emotion that's intended for us to excel: ANGER/violence is lazy wandering aimlessly, requires zero effort AND destroying is way easier than building. Everything that's worth HAVING in this life, you GONNA have to GRIND for it too.

It took 35 years to "get it." It was signs along the way one I'll carry the rest of my life. The great MUHAMMAD ALI said, "A man that views the world at 50 the same way he did at 30 has wasted 20 years of his life."

I'm 37 now, AND if we here wanna create better for ourselves, we HAVE to condition ourselves to see beyond our situation and understand that FEAR, not wanting to try, are all natural emotions but not trying is UNACCEPTABLE.

I WANNA be a part of the energy that drives progress. I WANNA create a climate where peace IS the foundation. We don't have to accept the life that was given to us.

We could help change the narrative if we all remain thoughtful, if we remain emotional AND are willing to embrace the steps that are necessary to leave this fractured world better than we found it.
