Not Just…

Humans like to sort things into categories. It makes it easier to understand the complex of we can relate it to something we’ve seen before or for it into an already existing belief or expectation. We do this with all kinds of things, from foods to people.

I won’t, however, allow myself to stay within a box that cultures has placed people like me in. I’m a dreamer. I’m a complex individual with different likes and passions all over the board. I am not just an artist, a teacher, a coach, a believer, etc. I’ll choose to live an intentional life led in the direction I’d like to go, regardless of what’s been done before.

I am not bound by the limitations that others try to place on me based off of my choice of profession, my beliefs, or the place I live. I will think and dream for myself. I know that opportunities are all over the place if I am willing to put in the work to search for them.

The same is true for you. You are not a box. You are not a label. If you want to do something that hasn’t been done by someone in your position, do it. Reach for something outside the box, and outside the labels. Don’t just do it for you, do it for us. We need people to reach. We need people to push. We need people like you, to inspire people like us.
