Have you ever seen the sun rise
After a big fat buffalo's stampede
Have you ever seen the sun rise
On a big fat salt lake in the West

Have you ever seen the moon shine
In unison like the stars in heaven
Have you ever seen the clouds darken
At a speed unmatched by light

Have you ever seen the loving eyes
Of someone who'd do anything for you
Have you ever seen the love
People are so eager to give

Have you ever stood still
To unbind yourself from the biases put before you
Have you ever stood still
To realize that you are so incredibly small

Have you ever stood still
That every big person started out small, too
Have you ever stood still
To love all the details

Have you ever stood still
To see the beauty all around you
Have you ever stood still
That you are loved
So when you complain, remind yourself that life is omniscient and you are but a traveler passing through.

Your chances of being happy and successful depend solely on you. Not on society, your parents, your friends or your peers. Just you. That must feel like an awful lot of pressure, but you know what? Take it easy. As long as you do what you love and you love what you do, you'll get there in your own special way. Just be yourself :)

Everyone has a different path; everyone grew up to a variety of differing perspectives. Don't be stopped by your surroundings; and don't be stopped by yourself. If you're afraid, face it...step by step. As I always say: "Baby steps...you'll get there".

Don't give up hope.

You're unmatched.
You're unprecedented.
You're irreplaceable.

Now, you better believe it!
