What do you see when you look in the mirror ?We all see different things, deep and shallow. Do you just see the superficial blemishes? Or, do you see deeper ? It's a funny thing, our minds have a lot of power. Thinking low of yourself, not only makes you weaker mentally, it also makes you weaker physically.The movie Cool Runnings has a lot of wonderful parts in it. One of which is two teammate's talking. "Yul Brenner: Look in the mirror and tell me what you see!"Junior Bevill: I see Junior.Yul Brenner: You see Junior? Well, let me tell you what I see. I see pride ! I see power ! I see a badass mother, who won't take no cr*p off anyone !”That's something we have lost, independent individuals. We don't stand up for what WE believe. We listen to people we assign as smarter, better informed, or the HOT person on the TV said it, it has to me true. Too many of we the people have fallen victim to negative thinking, because that's all we see now days. They want us to believe that there is nothing we can do about anything. We need to take up harness with them or the other side. No other option exists. While they have a point, there is a lot of strength in numbers, there is an untapped infinite amount of strength if we start cutting the "bonds" they want us kept to and we take up the harnesses that pulled this nation to where it was. It's never going to be easy pulling uphill, it never has been ! However, it's better to keep pulling and reaching for the stars, than to keep coming up with handfulls of mud as we back slide because everyone is jumping on the wagon. It's time we start having pride in ourselves and what we have. We have the power within ourselves. We are bad..... Well you get the point. The other option is jump on the wagon and enjoy the crash. Then the only options will be rebuild or die.
