ARE YOU TAKING THE TRANQUILIZING DRUG OF GRADUALISM?

TRADITIONALLY, AND I MEAN GOING BACK DECADES, this is my day to ride up the mountain top and look over my figurative kingdom... ... and think things over, make plans. Most of us, myself very much included, cherry pick our victories and our defeats. We are cowards, afraid to see things as they really are, to admit our faults and our weaknesses... .... until we do that, we cannot begin to hope for greatness on or off the bike. Dignity.Discipline.Destiny.Devotion.Dissatisfaction.Dispair.Difficulties. These are what Dreams are made from. If I learned anything from yesterday's tragedy it is that time is short, too short. There is no time to take the drug of gradualism. We must make real promises to act with haste.Rise.Lift.Struggle. If you have never read the I Have A Dream speech, if it's been a while, do it. It's short (<10min). And beautiful. Inspiring. Don't let someone cherry pick the words. Read 'em. Own 'em. We're doing life right when we have... Dignity.Discipline.Destiny.Devotion.Dissatisfaction.Dispair.Difficulties. ...
