Jagged Edge
This piece truly affirms for me that God has a sense of humor.
You see, I was awakened with what I thought were words of inspiration for those who have travelled the same road as myself as it relates to athletics and the pursuit of a dream.
What I thought was intended for many others-I quickly came to understand that this piece was essentially for me.
I came to understand that those that live their lives vicariously through others SIMULTANEOUSLY CREATE FOR THOSE BEING WATCHED AN INTERNAL NEED OR DESIRE TO LIVE THE ROLES THAT OTHERS CREATE FOR THEM.
No, this is not a novel bit of information but when you see those who have harbored beliefs about the reality of your life come to the realization that you are human-IT DOES SOMETHING TO YOU.
Jagged Edge
is my epiphany captured in words.
No, it does not fully detail all that I recently I experienced. However, the brevity of it is, I think, what makes it essential listening for those who find themselves caught up in a life that others are watching and living there with you-THROUGH THEIR HOPES, DESIRES and DREAMS.
In short while attempting to live the life that others see for you...MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE LIVING YOUR LIFE!!!
OUR SPIRIT...LIVES!!!
PEACE!!!
