There’s has to be more.
And I don’t mean that negatively.
The only way we move forward, is when we stand on principles tested by time. When we live in community, rather than isolation, and when we change potential mistakes into victories, because we’ve been (t)here before.
We have tasted both victory and defeat, but when we press through our mistakes, mind-sets, and misfired attempts.
We hit the magnificent beyond.
Never disregarding the past; only using them as basements rather than ceilings.
With that in mind. There has to be more….
It’s easy to look back at what we think we’ve accomplished.
(Whether true or false.)
Stop.
S
T
A
R
E.
but leave it there.
Never venturing forward.
Because technically…
If we haven’t done it yet, what makes us think it’ll work now?
This is where, I think, we have to redefine our goals.
Because surely there’s more to life than the end of it.
Let’s restore the colours!
Chase away the angry clouds!
We are not the:
-Lost
-Last
-Least
-Leaderless generation.
In the words of Kris Valloton:
“I might not know, where to go”
“But….”
“I know where I can’t stay.”
So now, I’m done….
Except for this last point…
I swear:
The next generation will be more blessed, because of me.
The culture will never be the same, because of me.
I will not live,
as
if
What I do will have no effect on those around me.
After me.
Because of me.
But enough about me.
Because I disappear when you switch off your screen…
With that in mind.
Let’s turn;
“ME”
into
“WE”
