You Can

When you are blessed enough, to be inspired enough, to be present in your life and in your moments - even if it's simply more often than not -- you open yourself up to the universe. Like a flower in full bloom, you're open to the nutrition of the elements, of the energy radiating, palpitating at your very acknowledgement.
Being present comes with consequences -- love, beauty, seeing not merely looking, knowing not merely believing, doing not merely thinking.

Whatever you observe around you, all that you have in your space, in this moment, apart from your mind, body, spirit, and the phenomenal nature that surrounds us : it has all been man-made -- the building you're in, the streets, the institutions, the reality of what a piece of paper like money can mean and control, the technology, the vehicles, not to mention art, and everything in-between - all of this was once impossible, until it became possible.

Instead of just accepting your surroundings, and regurgitating more of the same, which we know is achievable because it exists in our physical reality; we should create a new thing, a new feeling, a new movement, a new expression, invention- be an inventor, be a creator! What else can compare, or make life more appealing than witnessing what you imagine, become what you, and others can see and experience?

Everything you take for granted, like the items mentioned above, and more - were crafted. They were once merely ideas in people's minds. It all started from a thought, a thought that was fed, and nourished. It all began by ignoring reality - because reality wasn't there yet.
You ready it with your intention, and you cement it with your follow-through. Don't just do more of the same, if you feel you can do something fresh, new and exquisite. It could birth a ripple effect that will overflow the universe with what it is craving, whatever that may be.

There is endlessness in this very moment. I am writing, you are reading, we are connecting, and we may not know one another in the slightest -- we are both alive and surging through the cosmos.
I just created something new, albeit small for some, it could be the trigger to infinity for others. Be the trigger, shoot for the kill, be vital in and to the universe.

Don't settle, don't meander.
If you have a meandering existence, your soul is restless in its stagnence, and you owe it to your being to break free from the limits you have bestowed upon yourself.

It is common for those who surround you, whether they love you dearly, or are indifferent to your being - to warn you of failure, of deception, of how it can all be a waste, how it can all go wrong.
-- That is their limitation, and you do not have to sort through their confines; you have to rupture through your own.
Don't be discouraged by the lack of courage in others, be encouraged by the courage that has seethed through the cracks of doubt, and has made you get to where you are - no matter how early on you are in your creation, idea or journey. In fact - be an inspiration to those doubting you, because they are really doubting themselves - show them it can be done, and keep showing yourself you can do it all. To quote Henry Ford (and every person who has succeeded in their endevours) - 'whether you think you can, or you think you can't -- you're right.'

What everyone thinks is irrelevant, what you think is your ally.
Be in alliance with yourself, who else knows what rouses your longing soul?
