Responsibility is a word, a simple word, that has a never ending meaning. It’s a combination of letters encompassing everything in life. No matter your beliefs, status or race, you are affected by responsibility, both that which you accept and that accepted by others. When we fail to own our responsibilities, we fail others in the present and ourselves in the future. In essence we become either accomplishments or excuses…and that outcome is the result of another simple word, choice.

The greatest adventure is seeking what we desire. No matter how small our desire, the journey to it is where we feel most alive. The outcome is the reward, but it is only a reflection at the end of the road. So with each step today, embrace your failures, allow your laughter to engulf you, let your tears puddle and your victories humble you. And in the end, that reflection will be the inspiration others will utilize on their adventures.

There will be countless activities we will not see, hear and experience today. These processes will surround us and be close to us but we will not acknowledge their existence. Because our pursuit of responsibility and structure is our definition of sanity, we become oblivious to the magic around us. But this beauty cares not for such pursuits of responsibility but only to exist and be recognized. So every now and then, seek out your insanity and let the small countless miracles around you become your reality.

Every single day is different. The sun rises and sets the same and much of it is filled with routine. But each day has the opportunity for a new growth that was not there the previous day. This is because we are building upon yesterday’s opportunities we chose to seize. And it’s within that opportunity which creates our new hope in tomorrow.

Seek that which will take root and it will be that root which will hold you when the winds rise up. Chasing anything which constantly moves means we are more engaged in catching than constructing. That which takes root has moved until it found the optimal conditions in which to grow. It has done so because in its journey, it discovered that the wind always decided its fate until it chooses to stand tall against it.

Redemption is one of the greatest opportunities in this life. And yet it seems that, on a human level, it is contingent upon the approval of others. We are redeemed because others accept the belief we have been redeemed. But why is it up to others to decide who are merely peers? In reality, true salvation is only offered divinely in spirit and by self choice in flesh. Forgive yourself even when others will not. Because not even for one second will they ever wear your burdens.

Whatever you want in this life will cost. To gain anything requires something from us. Wisdom has been paid with mistakes, knowledge has been paid with hard work, experience has been paid with failure and faith has been paid with desperation. This is the law of nature which teaches us to gain something without costs is to have gained nothing at all.

There will be days in our lives when we are blind because where we are going must be led by someone else. There will be hours we are deaf because what is being spoken around us is detrimental to our purpose. There will be moments when we are without a voice because our words destroy more than build. There will be seconds we are utterly lost without direction because it is the responsibility of others to find us. But it is because of these absences we become whole. Without them we are fragments of our choices void of faith, the sixth sense which connects us to our Creator.

Sometimes we are required to stand alone. This is because there are battles in life that only we are equipped to defend. And as frightening as that may seem, doesn’t the idea that we are given a strength unique to each of us for defeating that which attacks us individually also mean there is no collective enemy we cannot conquer when we stand together?

Monsters are real. They are under the bed and in the closet, in the dark and the light. Feelings such as rage, revenge, hate and fear create them every day. And the nature of a monster is to destroy peace, forgiveness, love and security. In essence, the monsters we create are the monsters we become. But the ones we acknowledge and destroy transform us into what they would have ravaged.
