Propulsion

Have you ever wanted to move forward, be something more, accomplish this dream and desire inside of you, but you don't know what it looks like yet? You just know that its there, waiting to be released and once it is released you will be free from these chains holding you back. When that happens, everyone will see, they will see you in all the glory of who you were born to be. We say, wait and see, wait and see, but what are we waiting for? What will we see? These chains that keep you from succeeding, how can you be free? You blame them on people, circumstances, not getting opportunities you think are being given to people who are of your status, who have succeeded in life or succeeded with your passion. People don't understand, they don't really see you because they don't really try. They bring their own motives into your passion, manipulating you into believing they know what you really want. NO, stop the madness, throw off the chains, release your bird from the cage, you know what you want, now go after it. Find who you are, throw off the expectations of society, become who you dream of being. Discover the world outside you window as Tanita Tikaram sings, "Tell me if, you want to see
A world outside your window, A world outside your window isn't free.
And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption, That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me. What can you say
I'm hiding in the belfry. What can you say - I want to catch time
How can you say you know anything about me". Many artistic beings were not discovered until after their death, upon which they became iconic figures of society. Take Emily Dickinson, her poetry was not even published until four years after her death in 1886, her poems being published in 1890. How can someone live their whole life and before their death think to themselves, not much was accomplished in my time. The one who pursues their passions has no fear of this happening. You never know what may happen after your life ends, you may live on into infinity in others thoughts, songs and lives. Claude Monet painted during the 19th century, and in 2007 his painting "Waterloo Bridge, Temps Couvert" sold for 35 million dollars! How can you gauge your value, we are invaluable to society when we live out of our passions and dreams! So, to end, let no one stop, create a firm foundation so that the buffet and pounding of waves crashing around you will not have the ability to deter you. You will remain fortified in knowing you have the freedom to do what you want, you will see the waves roll off.
