As life comes at me from every angle I am learning to find time alone to just listen.  We fight so many fights against so many people and the tactics we use to fight sometimes makes us change who we are.  We are so used to being defensive, so used to protecting ourselves and so used to going through so many ups and downs that we lose ourselves.  We lose who we really are and who we were created to be.  Being adaptable in certain situations is necessary for survival but changing the essence of our spirit and heart steers us off the path of greatness.  Everybody doesn’t want to be great. Some people would rather sulk in their mediocrity instead of pushing to break out of that box and discover more.

If you are on a mission, do what you know is right, help others when you can, but through it all continue to be true to yourself.  Be you.  Do you.  Tell your own story.  On your own terms.
