Powerman 5000 - When Worlds Collide

Positive thinking is only powerful thinking when it becomes more than a season of positive thinking but a lifetime of it.

Anyone can think positive and loving thoughts in the beginning or when things are going well.

It's only when it takes a continued sustained effort in the middle and end and when things are NOT going well you find out if you're filled with a season of temporary positivity or filled with a permanent world of it.

And if you are going to choose to believe in a better world and take action in making that better world a reality, you better be so filled with that world that when you collide it with the world that is and it collides with you, only the harder and denser and purer world will be left standing.

~ All students succeed or just the lucky ones.
~ Peaceful warriors fill the world with confidence and courage or terrible terrorists burn it down with doubt and fear.
~ More couples love each other and grow together through the good AND bad times or more couples stop loving each other and grow apart, only to repeat the same process with a different person but with the same seasonal heart.

Whatever needs to be changed in the world for the better, it will never be changed without people who are filled with that better world, filled with a universe of those better worlds, and who can and are willing to collide themselves like planets into the worlds that need to evaporate in go away in the collision.

We Light Up The World ~ Child Empowerment Month





The world CAN be a BIG, BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL place, but we have to all MAKE IT that way. We have to fight for it, want it, and be willing to love it and love it and love it into existence. 


Terrorism is trying to destroy the world by lighting it up in destructive chemical explosions. 


We can CHOOSE to light up the world in our subatomic explosions of confidence, appreciation, gratitude, and unlimited belief in ourselves and each other.


I am already exploding at this level and I haven't even hit the gym yet. After 1,000 pushups, pullups, situps and miles of swimming, running, and rowing, I will have become so #SandLakeElementary Stingray Strong and #CypressParkElementary Mustang Hard that I will be able to explode my new subatomic strength and stamina upon all my current and former students over and over UNTIL they begin to subatomically explode at their own levels of greatness.


This is not #ChildAbuseMonth. This is CHILD EMPOWERMENT MONTH!
