Free to go

"We're free to go where we wish and to be what we are," Jonathan Livingston Seagull explained.

It's true.

It's also amazing how so many aren't where they wish and are nothing like they really are.

Instead they're carried wherever the currents of popular persuasion carries them and try to live up to the expectations of others.

When all's said and done, that's Hell on earth.

Finding Heaven, on the other hand, requires forgetting what others think or want to follow the dreams planted inside by a Holiness we can't explain.

We know, regardless of what everyone else says,  what're supposed to be.

But you have to go looking if you're going to get there.

There's no better time than to start now.

Take stock of where you are now and remind yourself there's a better place for you.

Look at who you're with and ask yourself, "Are they helping me become who I wish?"

And grab hold of the promise you've let go ... that God willed you here for reasons that only you know ... and it's time to fulfill them.
