Short and Sweet

Yesterday I had a conversation with a like-minded individual.

This happened, or felt like it happened, for the first time in such a long time and it was a very welcome change of pace. This short conversation made me realize that, not only am I too hard on myself about some situations but also that I'm not alone in the situations or in the moments that make me feel inadequate. This conversation made me realize that sometimes the system is just incorrect; sometimes the metric is just misplaced; and, sometimes the management is the most corrupt of all. This conversation was motivating and inspiring in the way that my conversations with this particular individual generally are. My problem has been that I'm not around individuals that elicit such conversations often.

There aren’t enough groups for people who look like me that are actually in close proximity to me. You know, groups that are filled with like-minded, educated and creative individuals or those who just need a space to break away from their daily realities! I'm sure I could say, “Fine I'll just go off and start one”, but refer to my post on being invisible when considering why I don't actually do that. This conversation did light a fire under me however. Myself and another individual in agreement see a world of untapped potential. We see a mass of unturned soil and we're eager to put ourselves on the frontline and do the work but we're simply two individuals who have not yet found our exact calling and are just paying attention to how the world moves around us in the meantime.

I want to keep this post short and sweet and just say that sometimes you need that conversation with that harmonious individual or even that motivated or inspiring or larger than life individual who serves to refocus you. I'm happy that I had that conversation today because it was much needed and came at a time where I feel that a lot of my life is overshadowed by the darkness of the “bad”. This conversation reminded me that I'm so much bigger than whatever “bad” I face. This conversation reminded me that I have a higher calling and a bigger purpose than whatever bad situation I run into in life. This conversation reminded me that the sky is not the limit for me, while it may be the limit for you, it’s certainly not for me. So, I'm gonna keep this short and sweet or as I like to say I'll keep it Breef and say that I'm feeling inspired, so watch my next moves closely.

Best
