from the mind of critic-11/21/17

From the mind of critic: “If we’re all just dust in the wind, what do we do in a sandstorm? Do we duck for cover and hide, letting all the dust and dirt do what it’s gonna do, except to us? Do we run in the opposite direction, hoping we can out run the dust before it affects us? Do we keep moving forward knowing the dust will hit us, but will only stop our forward progress if we allow it to? Flight or fight frequency greatly rises, when we realize all of us struggle. We all want to have a good, prosperous and fulfilling life, while taking care of ourselves and our families. Many things, people and events will effect us positively and negatively along our journey. We can’t always change what happens, but can always change our reactions. Are we gonna spend our lives running from negativity, endlessly floating from place to place, while telling ourselves we’re looking for something, but really aren’t ready to find it even if we did? Are we going to make a stand, finding our passion, our place and our purpose, and move forward within it? Sandstorms can grind us down to a nub, but only if we don’t know who we are, what we want and what kind of mark we want to leave.” 🙂
