re-post.

so i realize that some of my posts might seem like reposts, this might be the first "re-post". a re-post is defined as a reoccurring thought that has found its way to the surface of my mind, where it lingers and grows more and more until i can't contain it anymore and need to get it on paper. i've been doing that more, so my system is clear. thing is, the importance of a re-post shouldn't be underplayed. i don't liek doing it BUT.. if i do, it has got to mean something. and obviously it will not be the same EXACT thing, but it is a re-structuring of the thought or an "addendum" you might say. who knows? after all this, this might not turn out to be a re-post afterall. but at least now you know what a re-post is. i've been thinking and pondering the entire idea of doing. ok there are a few different sects of people here. some of you just don't care. which is.. well, not okay.. but maybe that'll change - or maybe not. i hope so though, cause that'd make a huge world of change. anyway, the second group of people are the people who want to see something happen. and that is HUGE! that's great that we want to see change, and be part of the change, and inflict change and just watch things turn out right and be good. this is actually the group of people who come up with ways to live differently. live for others more. its the group with all the ideas, and a crazy amount of structre. it is where all the thought gets poured into and the messages get taught and spread to other people about how to live a more fruitful and meaningful life. sounds attractive doesn't it? it is, trust me. i've been there for most of my life. i'm moving on up though. to the third group. well, i want to. i find how hard it is to be there, and why so few people are. so the second group were people who wanted to see change happen. the third group is the one that MAKES it happen. we have everything and anything at our disposal. we have the opportunity to either chngange a community, a county, a state..... no no, too big right? ok that's fine. but i dare you to challenge me on the fact that we have an opportunity EVERYDAY to change at least one life.

my main point is that i think that while talking about it and planning things are good, why don't we just DO things? every day - why don't we just live out what we talk about? take a few minutes real quick and imagine this.. really imagine.. place yourself in a world like this - you are walking down the street and say hello to your neighbor, or a random person - and start talking and get intoa conversation. you say your goodbyes and go into work. you make an INTENTIONAL effort to reach out to someone when no one else will. You admit your flaws while accepting theirs. i think we spend too much time planning. why not just do? what in us stifles us from realizing how much we have to offer? how much we have to give? why do we shy away from situations instead of making the most of them? i think you would be different, along with those around you if you embraced every opportunity that surrounded you. there are so many so don't give me crap excuses about how there are none. Look around - what do you see? i see a sea of lost faces, waiting to be listened to. fascinating fact. try it out.. 1000000+ people in this world right? every single one has their own story.

just try it. see what happens. see what/who changes. SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND. its about being real. and knowing that we are here to help each other. no exceptions, sorry.
