We Are Better Than This

We are better than this.  We are better than who or what we've become.  We are better than the poor choices that we have made and the life of compromise that we are living.  We are capable of phenomenal things that we can barely imagine, if we can imagine them at all.  Yet, we stoop to lesser things.  We bow to the bane of compromise and we walk in the shadow of mediocrity.  We settle for the crumbs that we toss out to ourselves while not understanding that a meal of epic proportions is ours for the taking.

We live minimal, marginalized and menial lives not because we have to.  We live those lives because we choose to.  We live in the shadow of what we could be but often never become.  And the consequence of this minimized existence diminishes both ourselves and everything around us.  We are better than this.  In fact, we are far, far better than this.  It's not too late to understand who we are and to start living in the power of that person.  We are better than this and now is the time to step up to engage that marvelous reality.
