Today I saw family. I had no idea how effectual it is to be greeted by people who love you. Knowing others from your past where you may have focused differently reveals fractals of your personality you may have ignored.
For me, this was realized in the fact that I am studious, athletic, connected, and focused. I was reminded of AP Classes, Water Polo Championships, friends with influence, and independence. It was a culmination of a hard working man. Here I am to rebuild that chance locally. Again I am presented with a series with choices which will either reveal my greatest potential or nothing. I will accept nothing less. This is my identity. I am an achiever, focused, happy, charismatic, caring, willing to improve my community through focused effort.
Today and every day is a new life, my life, your life, our lives and we have the potential to create the strongest reality. Not a calm, warm, fuzzy, wrapped-in-bubble-wrap world, but, instead, one where we create opportunities for people to grow and encourage independence in the collective. Autonomy is encouraged.
