Life is so unexpected. It is all just absolutely crazy. Think about the word, "plan". What does this mean to you? Does it mean that you should plan for the future? I think planning is one of the strangest things ever. First of all, it doesn't work half of the time, and second of all, who really has the power to plan and actually follow through? I've come to believe that the answer is nobody can do this. You can do your best to make things happen, but the path that we are all on with either align somewhat, or completely diverge. None of this life path stuff is really up to me. The thought of being a blank canvas for the world's plans is what makes sense the most. My "plan" is not something I can fully control, but how life comes at me is another story.
Who are you? That is the better question. What makes you special? How can you do your best to help others? It is much easier to be mean than nice. So, that is the thing holding everyone back from being able to fly. I have a lot of negativity in me, I've found, but my positivity is what I'm choosing to let shine... and in that, I've found the most beautiful things. Simply smiling at everyone I see throughout my day (friends, acquaintances, strangers) is a small way I can spread joy.
I've also realized that being the real me is already making an impact in the small part of the world where I reside. Realizing that I've been given so many answers in my life transcends to others, and the beauty and life in those other souls feeds me in the best way possible. I always knew I could fly, but now it's not as selfishly. Other people give me the strength to do these things, and I am so lucky for that. I've attained so much real life free-ness, and I know it's not an accident. I can't take advantage of it. I have to run with it and thank absolutely EVERYONE for it. It's so easy to become bitter about the little shifts off track in life, but rather than being angry, I've figure out that that's the beauty that is life. No one is out to get you. No one hates you. The world is a gorgeous place if you take the time to look.
