open yourself up to the light.

It's those days when you chance upon amazing minds and passionate people like I did today at LMU's Third Tuesday series watching Beau Sia. Those moments where clarity and understanding smack you right in the fucking face. Those moments where you can sit and literally feel yourself changing because someone has just enlightened you. Those are the good days.

1. Too often we worry about illusions we have in our mind that we think exist in our future... that we cut ourselves short of the potential we have as people today. So fuckin' true. He talked about being PRESENT in everything that you do. Because so much time passes when we keep trying to prepare for the future and things that haven't happened yet that today has already passed and we can never get it back. Ever.
   
2. Fuck boundaries and any kind of shit that society wants to make of you. If we can all stop letting Facebook, Twitter and whatever other social networking site from continually boosting our egos thinking we were important, people would actually be doing something worthy. FAME.. does not equate with being IMPORTANT. Before we feed into what people expect of us, can't we all just focus on our craft, without the hype, notoriety, and hopes of fame to bring quality, truthful, work into the world?
3. Everyone is ignorant. True. Ignorant to something. But if we accept that and open ourselves up to the people that we chance upon in our lives and actively try to understand their lives or what the world has to teach us.. we are enhancing our potential for LIFE. Our boundaries. Our expectations OUT OF life. . When we stop our "grind", gotta do me and handle lifestyles and think before we speak, think before we act, become a little more compassionate with people or even offer people the chance to understand, we're opening up all these amazing avenues in our worlds that didn't exist because we were ignorant to it. So CHOOSE not to be.

I just had to write those thoughts down for me never to forget.
transcend. no matter what.
