Time is not promised...

Hotep and Greetings...

Time is not promised... such a simple truth, yet so profound since most of us live like tomorrow is guaranteed...  Certainly the sudden departure of Michael Jackson, fifty years young, needs to remind us that our days are indeed numbered and no day is promised.

Here today, gone... today!  Death is a equal opportunity taker, paying no mind to age, race or gender.  In a relatively short span, a number of cultural icons have left the planet... Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays, Karl Maulden... and MJ.  It is wise to note that their transitions are also reminders that whatever we say we want to do, need to do, should do... we need to be about doing just that...  Time is not promised!

So what is it?  What makes your soul sing?  What are the yearnings of your heart?  What goals, dreams or aspirations have you put on hold, waiting until the time is right?  What plans are being held in abeyance, what entreprenueral endeavor deemed not quite timely, what creative project have you decided is not practical to pursue at this time?  And, more importantly, when is the time?

Is there ever a time to throw caution to the wind?  Yes!  Know this:  You must not only say, "I believe in myself," you must also move in the world, aligned in action with that high belief.  As I personally venture into uncharted, creative waters, my intention is to walk boldly, courageously, even fearlessly, despite the naysayers confidently holding their "stop" signs, waiting to confirm my worst fears - that my work is not needed, not good enough, not, not, not...  But I am compelled to respond to the naysayers, "No, no, NO!!!  Your conception of my life's journey is not my reality... unless I agree and I don't agree!"

Since time is not promised, you must say "NO" to the naysayers within and without.  Say "NO" to the doubt that would keep you from soaring and realizing a taste of your potential for greatness.  Say "YES" to the unlimited potential that truly is within yourself, knowing that if you say "yes" the Universe will say "yes" too.

The dear souls that have have recently left the Earthplane said "yes"; this is why we call their names...  Michael's "yes" was so huge, so impactful, that the entire world has taken note of his passing.  Imagine that!  The Gloved One shouted "Yes!" to the Creative Divine Source and tapped into an energy that produced a creative tour d'force made manifest as the soundtrack of our lives.  RIP

As for those of us, still in the Land of the Living, since "now" is all there ever is, "when" will you say "yes"? 

Be inspired... be empowered... say yes!
