Saying so much, without saying a word

A word can give someone power but the lack of usage can leave someone powerless. Sometimes just acting without saying a word can be way more empowering than saying anything at all. I have spent a lot of time in my life trying to empower kids with words and forgetting exactly how I really did it, through action. Thinking back, I have not done everything I said I was going to. I did try but it never panned out always. So I have a new motto starting today. It is an old proverb that is so simple yet so wise; 'Actions speak louder than words...'

Another thing you have to have is a purpose. What are you doing it all for? Money, Power, Respect... or the chance to hear Lil Kim sing it and it sound catchy??? hahaha... There is a method and a reason behind every madness.

So what does this have to do with skateboarding? everything really and nothing at all. Just an idea I had cross my mind and I needed to get out. Maybe it can be a reminder to me as well to get up, get out, and do something since we all need that swift kick in the ass sometimes. I just recorded my to a digital format for the world to see.

So this is what I ask of you, the blog reader... find something you said you wanted to do or have promised yourself you were going to do for a long time. Next, go to it! Who knows what it might lead to, it could be nothing or it could change your life forever. Small things can be a catalyst for change that lead you somewhere in the grand scheme of it all.

So there is some knowledge Plato, Confucius, or Oprah would have drop... in another language and time. Just be glad you didn't have to sit through any commercial breaks. This photo below says it just perfect to me. I saw it on New Years Day and has set a tone for me I feel.




Please Inspire... hope, ambition, the drive to better ourselves is part of what pushes the human race. Without inspiration, the world would not be where it is today (good and bad). The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Be inspired to take that step today. Why should you?... 'Why Not?' is more the question you should ask. Take what you want from these words but I know I will re-read them numerous times over. I like to take my own advice sometimes too.

And here my spirit guide has left. I have nothing else for you. Maybe next time I can channel a leprechaun and find out 'where the gold at...'
