What do you hear?

 Lights out Alice!

"Close your eyes and listen...what do you truly and honestly hear?"

What you choose when in a crowd is not representative. What you choose when you sit down in silence, when there is nobody around you to force you into things, when there is nobody around you to make you do to opposite because you want to defy convention, when it is yours and yours alone to own up to, then, it is then that your choice matters. It is at that time, your ethics, morals and principles and their true nature will come out. It is at that time you can choose growth or you can choose escape.

What makes you great is not how good you are, but how willing you are to develop yourself, your beliefs, your skills, your relationships on a daily basis, regardless of the circumstance, regardless of the shit you are going through and regardless of what the society dictates. You make of yourself by defining what you want to be, not out loud in public, but in those deepest of trenches of your soul where your mind and heart discreetly meet every night to discuss you and where you are headed.
