“Everything will change. The only question is growing up or decaying.” – Nikki Giovanni, poet and social activist

Hey “fence-sitters” of the world! Is you’re butt asleep yet? Well, you chose to park it there and insist that it’s “comfortable” …after all, “up there” you don’t have to grow up nor face up to the tough decisions lingering below. And things will remain exactly the way you like them: Familiar. Un-changed. Safe. Well, here’s your newsflash: if you think sitting still means your little world is “frozen in time”…you’re sorely mistaken. Literally. Both your physics teacher and Mom were right: Change is the only constant. And, since there’s no better time than the present, leap off the fence before you become a permanent rotting fixture! Grow and thrive with the fabulous mix of change, and you’ll see, the view down here is grander than you ever imagined.

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” – Gandhi

Pride, wrath, greed, envy, lust, sloth and gluttony. The infamous Seven Deadly Sins. Or for some of us, the vices we find guilt or pleasure in daily. Confess this with your 6.5 billion worldwide neighbors, and there’s your answer to “why we just can’t all get along”! Thankfully, it’s not your job to change or fix the world. But, if you think globally and act locally, IT SHOULD BE your priority to work on YOU to replace those not-so-fabulous habits with more promising, positive virtues. Choose humility over vanity. Forgiveness over anger. Charity over avarice. Admiration over jealousy. Chastity over lechery. Diligence over idleness. Self-restraint over excessiveness. Folks, start with yourself -to experience the domino effect of promising change that knows no borders.
