No More Blaming

At this point in my life, I have realized a great amount of people died, and sacrificed everything to afford me opportunity and freedom. Freedom has never been free. Even God sacrificed his only son. With that being said, I will continue to capitalize on the opportunities I have, in order to leave behind a better world. I will no longer blame another person or group for my personal progress or lack. I will not wait for someone to change their thoughts and beliefs before I take advantage of the limitless opportunities at hand. I will not attempt to change the mindset another adult. Instead I will invest my time influencing the imaginations of kids. I will no longer engage in verbal warfare with individuals that believe social media post are equal to and greater than actually volunteering, mentoring, tutoring and raising their own children. Sometimes I wonder what a person that endured the Transatlantic voyage as a slave would say about how we fail to take full advantage of the opportunities we have. What would the families that lived as slave on a plantation say about our lack of respect for life.
