Sometimes we get so bogged down in what we insist
in our own minds must be; that we become prisoners of our own makings
the only variation being the stages of gray in between.
We fail to see the beauty in the details, the LIFE that is in the colors
We fail to see the beauty in the details, the LIFE that is in the colors
that lie upon the spectrum of what we often call
"too much to do" or "overwhelming."
We can map it out, plan and choreograph it...
We can map it out, plan and choreograph it...
but in the end, it is the haphazardness of how it actually comes together
that makes the moments unique...
rather than our relying upon expectations, achieving precision and striving for absolutes.
Savor the randomness in the carefree moments that cause you to take pause;
Savor the randomness in the carefree moments that cause you to take pause;
realizing that you are, in very large part, master of your own destiny.
venturing out of your comfort zone as you take chances
that others might not be so willing, apt or able to do.
And revel in the courage you have to live LIFE OUT LOUD...
And revel in the courage you have to live LIFE OUT LOUD...
In TECHNICOLOR, exactly as you were meant to.
