Creating Cultural Swag In Our Youth

Right Now

March 10, 2011

Right now is the time to take action on what really matters in life.  It’s difficult to articulate my feelings, but I’ll do my best.  I really understand the phrase about burning your bridges and never looking back.  I’m moving forward with velocity, speed, and a clear vision of the future that I’m creating.  Life is amazing!  I really understand that the world is really waiting on me to contribute, inspire, elevate, and transform the existing norms.  People around me seem to have a certain glow.  I love having intimate conversations with everyone around me.  My Make It Move Youth Leadership program is really catching fire!  I’m having so much fun.  Young people see me as inspiration, creativity, and movement.  The kids in Compton are seeing what’s possible in their lives.  They’re starting to see beyond their current circumstances.  The light inside of them is starting to shine brighter.  Confidence and peace of mind ooze through their veins as they share about the irresisitible beauty of life.  They want to make a difference.  When I move around the campus, high school teachers are interested in what I have to say.  Administrators watch me like eagles.  They’re skeptical but curious to see if I’m serious about change.  Something is waiting to move through me.  Something that the world has never seen before.  It whispers to me throughout my days.  I sleep with it at night.  It speaks to me like a conversation.  We go on walks and look at stars together.  Something is about to reveal itself right now!  It’s still reluctant and hesitant to completely and fully express itself.  It’s quiet and calm like the sea after a storm.  It comforts me when things go wrong.  Something is moving through me right now!  I walk proud with confidence and a direct knowing that my life will help lost souls find their purpose.  This thing tells me just keep showing up for life.  Stay active, listen, and spend time with yourself.  I’m looking for my past but all I see is my future.  My wife will be graduating from Veterinarian school in May.  She wants to leave California, but I want to stay.  I don’t have the solution, and that’s no illusion.  Its real!  We might not have a place to stay in June.  I’m the point man for a movement that’s will be earth shattering, feel the after shock!  Will I be in position to move the world?  What will happen in these next couple of months?  Will I be in Southern California?  How will my marriage look?  Where will my children be attending school?  I’m sure it will all workout.  My intention is to move the world!  Right now!

Make it Move!
