Potential>Reality


Look into the sky; do you see it? It is endlessness, and that is your potential.

Our world, our communities, and our personal selves are all wrapped up in a reality.

This reality controls us; how we think, what we do, how we think of others, everything.

At times, us humans are so wrapped up in ourselves.

We only think of "I".

We cease to remember that we are mere organisms on what is only a rock.

Remember looking up at the sky? 

Now feel it staring back. 

You may only be a small being in this thing called the universe,

but now reevaluate.

Human beings can do incredible things. We are capable of so much, so overcome the reality washing our brains.

Take this opportuinity of life to become something, to help others, to be truly wholesome,

because although we are small, your existence could become huge in our seemingly small community.
