Flying

"i would rather spend my life with the birds than wish i had wings" I heard this on television last night and can't stop thinking about it. These few words that make a sentence carry weight that has crushed many.

For some it is just words that sound interesting, for others it is a mantra for me it is a reminder. We are not all created equal, life is not fair, without the top there is no middle or bottom.

For all the unjust feelings these issues may bring, it is life. Not just as we know it but as centuries of humans have known it.

I feel that we have been changing this thought process to the detriment of our children. You can't always have what you want. You are not always going to be the best. Life is hard, a challenge.

However, you can work hard for the things you desire. You can be the best that you are able to be. You can rise to the challenge of life and encourage those around you to do the same. Lift others up the best you can. Be proud, stand by your word, it the only thing you come into this world with, it defines you.

Life is what you make it. Grab ahold and enjoy. Be good to others. Be good to the planet. Be good to yourself. Life is an amazing journey.
