THE SHIFT STARTS WITH YOU

I have seen so much, learned so much, reflected so much… Not just on this journey, but throughout the years… throughout my ups and downs… and I feel blessed to be at this point in time, the most important time of my life… THIS PRESENT MOMENT… which is also the most important time of YOUR LIFE.

As you know, this blog is about THE URBAN SHIFT… What’s happening? HOW DO WE SHIFT?

Well… Many people complain about what’s going on… Crime, Violence, Emotional Distress, Insecurity, Financial Struggles, Uncertainty…  It’s good to acknowledge the challenges surrounding our lives… It’s the only way we can be ready to redirect our path and unleash our greatest potential.

I see this every day at NY7.  Many apathetic citizens say... “Oh… we can’t do nothing about those corrupt politicians…”  Others say… “I lost faith…” or “I don’t feel represented…” or “I can’t do it…. I can’t succeed…”

Today, I want to dig into your deepest desires, goals and aspirations.  Do you feel safe? Do you feel happy?  Do you feel fulfilled?  Do you think the solution is dependent on others? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

YES… THE SHIFT STARTS WITH YOU!!!  Just like you need to take care of your car… put some gas, clean it, check the oil…  You are the engine of your LIFE!  We have dreams, goals, aspirations, and we are constantly influenced by external factors… But, will you allow those external factors to dictate your course?

Listen… I challenge you TODAY... to initiate THE SHIFT… It starts with YOU… Are you taking care of yourself?  Do you value yourself? Are you waiting for somebody else? Are you waiting for a miracle???

YOU ARE THE MIRACLE… Value yourself, believe that you can succeed… clear your space and surround yourself with the energy of that NEW LEVEL you dream of… Believe that you can redefine a new path for yourself and your community.

Read a good book, do some yoga, meditate, do some journaling… volunteer… share your unique talents and gifts… eat healthy… be active…  PUSH… DREAM…AND BELIEVE… If you take care and you believe in yourself… this is what you will irradiate… and trust me… IT’S CONTAGIOUS… Show your LIGHT and SHINE… Others are waiting for your LIGHT to join THE SHIFT…  The moment you decide to take this step… EVERYTHING SHIFTS… A NEW LANDSCAPE WILL BE REVEALED… YOU WILL TRANSFORM YOUR COMMUNITY… but IT’S ALL UP TO YOU!!!

If you feel like you are not being represented… GET UP AND REGISTER TO VOTE!  Be active… call your family and friends and get up to speed… write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper… attend a public hearing… YOU ARE THE CHANGE…YOU ARE THE ENGINE… COME ON!!!  I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!
