Vision and the norm...

“Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world!” - Joel Barker

Understanding the reality that life is just in illusion, is the parable that most seek to refrain from.  As society tends to avert from such ideologies, it takes a very tough soul to walk alone and against the crowd.  For those that have walked the self-reliant path, have done it out of the mere aversion to step outside of the norm.   For the norm compels our minds to live within a constricted box and those who want to achieve the unthinkable must understand this mind set, therefore creating new creeds to test those systems.    

Furthermore if you put yourself in a position where you have to step outside of the norm and outside of the so called comfort zone, then you will be forced, by nature, to expand your consciousness, therefore creating new norms and new creeds. So test the limits and live your life….. and that is how you play the game.. Vereour Nasquam

At times I know life can seem miserable
But lil' bruh you gotta lotta more living to do (live)
You gotta go get, cause they ain't gon' give it to you (nah)
Just watch what you say and watch who you deliver it to (watch)
Put somethin away, cause you'll never know when it rains
And you can never feel the love without knowin the pain (hey)
The bracelet and the pinky ring go with the chain (uh-huh)
These the different kind of jewels though that go in your brain (jewels)
Pray for your downfall, when you doin your thang

To be nobody but yourself...

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."  ~e.e. cummings
