being moved into happiness, being moved into sadness...neither of these things necessarily have to be negative; have to be positive. this works the same way Emerson talks about life; with respect to the journey, not the destination. anything that has the potential to change our state of mind is something that is noteworthy.
pop-culture is celebrated everywhere//pop-culture is discriminated everywhere, and perhaps even more so. instead of all the ridicule that we (the teenage dirtbags) of our generation distribute, let's take a look at the larger picture.
think about the one activity you are MOST passionate about in your life. speaking French, spreading your faith, writing music...and anything within or beyond those categories. imagine a room full of people who practice the same art as your own, and imagine select members of this group being recognized in particular for their unique journey in speaking to and changing others through this gift.
the following video has been watched by billions in the past week, but i believe that no matter what your craft is, if you have one, you can appreciate this. this artist could be quickly recognized by her name; conversations could be held over her television appearances because she has become familiar, and 'another star'. but instead, i urge you now to watch this performer as a young woman sharing something so powerful through her movement and voice. imagine it as one of your own pieces of work as you listen to the lyrics and watch her body-
this is what it is to be connected, to be fearless.
forget about wearing your heart on your sleeve- imagine nakedness.
imagine wearing nothing but your heart.
