Activity

We have come to rest our heads in foreign places. Foreign people and foreign sounds become increasingly familial with every passing hour, and with every passing day. This is unstepped territory and this is unspoken prose, even if only for the time being. We will replace the familial with the foreign. But, eventually, the things we hadn't truly known become the norm.
And once again, we have come full circle.

Change your ways every day
Change the things within you
Look for grace in every place
Find the grace that defines you

For, if we continue to practice the same old routines, traditions, and expectations; we will, at best, become stagnant in our ways and in our attitudes. And, as is known by all who have considered the idea, stagnancy breeds nothing short of apathy, indifference, and lethargy. And, with these traits, we will never do a thing, let alone conquer hearts and minds. After all, to truly accomplish anything at all, we must act and we must show our colors. And, if our inactivity has laid our initiative dead on the ground, we have no room to complain about the circumstances we've let fester. We should know first hand. Because as we have allowed each of our bodies to progressively degrade to nothingness, at the same time we've allowed progress to do the same.

Get up, do something
Get up, improve yourself
Get up, improve others
Get up, and be the best you know how to be
