PERCEPTION

We know what perception is, however we do not talk about it, we argue about it.

Every day we have disagreements that sometimes escalate to negative situations simply because we perceive something in a different way than another individual or group. We know that no one is the same and everyone is going to have an opinion or perception in which they are probably just as passionate about as you are to yours.

We put ourselves in these conditions of negativity and hatred, instead of conveying positive light and love to one another. Our children are watching us, they want to be like us and I have always told Jessie he can be whatever he wants to be. When we change their experiences, we will change the world.

If you don't start somewhere, you'll never get anywhere. ~ Whitney Shucks 

Having accomplished many goals, yet still remain unfinished. A beautiful, and humbling place to be, an amazing feeling to have. The feeling there is still room for growth and learning the paths to take; leaning toward faith on the way. Amazingly flawed, beautifully ugly, accomplished, yet unfinished, growing, but not grown.

Set goals and don't forget to celebrate small victories. ~ Whitney Shucks
