Gravity


















What is gravity?


grav·i·ty:
the force of attraction by which terrestrial bodies tend to fall toward the center of the earth.

I found out that when we are kids we don't think nor want to agree with gravity. Those who know me personally know that I have always agreed with not agreeing with gravity....jumping, climbing, lifting etc,,, But as the years go by I noticed that I tend to start agreeing more and more with gravity.
I am not saying that it does not exist (of course it does) it's just that the rules are the ones I disagree with.
Let me explain; when we're kids even though we have smaller bodies and limited motor skills we see obstacles as just objects that we need to conquer and the conquer part is easier. A tree, sofa, kitchen counter, set of stairs, the top of a car and an endless amount of objects that we want to climb and conquer. As a kid we look at it and we don't agree with gravity we just want to go over that object (obstacle) and for the most part we do it until another force comes in and says (get off that tree you are going to fall and brake your arm!) now that is an obstacle that we seem to have a bigger problem conquering, and those are the ones that accumulate and make a mountain for us as adults.
Today as I see the world around me and see my gravity (all of the words, comments and invalidations that have been made through the years) and I see that this gravity has been inside me and that I have the power to not agree with it.
As an adult I should have more power to not agree with gravity (I am taller, wiser, faster) but yet it is harder to climb a tree or jump on the kitchen counter). So what happened: those words that have been said to me made me heavier, slower and made the obstacles bigger.
How can one word make a kitchen counter bigger and the light bulb higher??????
The power of these words have made gravity more real, words are a symbol for what I want the people to know what I am thinking. But words are not objects, so if they are not objects they should not be obstacles.
I have my own personal world to conquer and I have enough to figure out so those negative symbols that people throw at me are not valid. I will only take the positive symbols so they can help me conquer my obstacles......

I hope you have a wonderful day full of great symbols (words) and full of overcoming of obstacles.


P.S.
remember to recycle.
