Imagine if you saw the world spinning, imagine if you saw the timeframe of your life through the lives of others.

Its time to decide. Will I change my focus from the seemingly important things of normal everyday suburban life? Will I just take it a day at a time? Whatever will be will be?
I feel a stirring in me, to rise up, to stop thinking about the boring things, and to begin to hear the cries.
This life is only a breath, a vapour, a puff ... or will it be something more, something lasting, something beautiful?
Is there a dream stirring in you? Something outside of the ordinary, outside of the box? What's stopping you from living an extraordinary life? Is it time to put aside those ways of thinking and to stir up the dream? ...
