If there is a world I want, a world I envision, it starts with me; it starts with me creating what i wish to exist for myself, building out the imagined good I want and forsee for myself and for those around me.

Being IN the world, does not mean you have to be OF this world. Do not let the outside, external forces at hand dictate how you give and receive love.
Keep leading with your most loving, highest, most authentic version of self; the world needs it, regardless of how some may respond to it.
folks on spiritual journeys i.e. everybody, all have their shit; 'perfection' isn’t the key...wholeness, is.
remind yourself to rest. remind yourself to take time for you. remind yourself to water your spirit. remind yourself to keep an open heart. remind yourself that you matter.
no one is any more larger or wiser or better than you - we all journey differently, and to varying degrees. do not judge your process, please.
i’ve said “no” to a lot of things, to make room for my spirit to say “yes” to the right things.
there are a lot of blessings i know i missed out on because "i wasn't ready" or because it was "too scary." please, don't be that person.
wanna win? be present, be kind, be honest; invest time and energy into yourself and your craft/purpose, and into the folks you love and care for.
just because it’s an opportunity, does not mean you have to say “yes.” is it right for you and the parties involved? does it speak to you? listen to your spirit, man.
it’s okay to let go, it is okay to move forward and to move on; it is your right to give yourself permission to breathe again, i promise.
just a reminder: your light is not dependent on others awareness of it.
folks ain’t seen other people do it so they afraid to do it, too. and they’ll project that fear onto your vision. one of those folks i will never be. and, neither should you.
do it better do it bigger do it different do it, though
if you need rest, give yourself that. if you need peace, give yourself that. if you need love, give yourself that. heal yourself, first.
you don’t need anyone's permission to set-out to change the world.
no one owes you anything - not your momma, not your god, not your universe. earn yours. do the work.
There is no right or good time to live out your dreams. Go.
