"Imagine if you will being on your death bed – And standing around your bed – the ghosts of the ideas, the dreams, the abilities, the talents given to you by life.
And that you for whatever reason, you never acted on those ideas, you never pursued that dream, you never used those talents, we never saw your leadership, you never used your voice, you never wrote that book.
And there they are standing around your bed looking at you with large angry eyes saying we came to you, and only you could have given us life! Now we must die with you forever.
The question is – if you die today what ideas, what dreams, what abilities, what talents, what gifts, would die with you?"
– Les Brown

Internal Battle;
What is my potential?
What am I holding back?
Why am I holding back?
External Battle;
What future genius just killed himself due to bullying?
What artist just gave up their passion because a teacher mocked them?
What is this world missing out on without you?
My Battle;
I don't care what researchers say;
Don't give a child video games.
Don't hand them a phone.
Don't give them the TV remote.
Don't give them empty, meaningless time fillers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hand them the world.
See what happens.
See what they can do.
