You are an original

You were born an original, so don’t be a copy. That being said, we live in an age where you’re expected to think the same things as everyone else because people are uncomfortable when you disagree with them. Just because I may be right, doesn’t mean that you are wrong.

No one seems to want you to ask questions or think beyond what the constructed narrative is. Just because a lie is continually repeated doesn’t make it the truth.

Just because there is chaos and disorder, doesn’t mean you need to get whipped up in it or think that because it appears the majority are agreeing with it that it means it’s right. The more insane things become, the more you need to be wary of the solutions they sell in order to reestablish order, calm or peace.
When you can remember that you are an original, you’ll feel it in your bones just how uncomfortable it is to follow like a sheep. 

There are many opportunities in the pipeline where you can decide what you’re available for and what you are not. The power of choice and the power of deciding is, well, empowering! So why would you not take it?

Several years ago, while on a work trip to Denmark, I took a stroll into downtown Copenhagen to take in the sights. I enjoy roaming the cities I visit, hoping to catch a glimpse of something new and interesting or find some delicacy I’ve never tasted.  Denmark is notoriously rainy, but the sun was shining…

Nowhere on Earth is free from plastic pollution these days, from the highest mountaintops to the deepest ocean canyons.
