Tupac 4 Thought

The Rose That Grew From Concrete:

Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.

                      -Tupac

i think most people are familiar with this poem. if not, i am ecstatic to be the first to share it with you! 

as I sit in my cozy apartment, drinking my morning coffee, feeling really good about what i'm doing and where i'm going..... i was reflecting on how lucky i am!.... 

but then my brain wanted to chime in! 

my brain stated, 

             "Self! you aren't lucky. you made all of this happen. instead of playing the victim of circumstance, you overcame the odds and never settled for less than what you wanted. That's not luck. Rather, your reward for hard work and perseverance."

Thanks, Brain! You are so logical. 

love,
