GLOBE, SPREADING THE EXTRAORDINARY VISION OF

SPOKEN WORD ARTIST, ACTIVIST (AND SUPER SOUL 100

VISIONARY) PRINCE EA.   AN INVITATION TO ASK

YOURSELF --SUPERSOULERS-- ARE YOU TRULY LIVING

THE LIFE YOU WANT? It is not death most people are afraid of.   It

is getting to the end of life only to realize that you never truly lived. 

There was a study done a hospital study on one hundred elderly people,

facing death close to their last breath   They were asked to reflect about

their lives biggest regret.   Nearly all of them said they regretted not the

things they did but the things they didn't do. The risks they never took,

the dreams they didn't pursue.   I asked you will your last words be, if I

only I had, hey you ,wake up why do you exist?   Life is not simply

meant to work wait for the weekend and pay rent.   No   No I don't know

much but I know this, every person on this earth has a gift.   I apologize

to the black community but I can no longer pretend, Martin Luther

King, that man never had a dream   That dream had him   See people

don't choose dreams, dreams choose them So the question I'm getting

to, is do you have the courage to grab the dream that picked you, that

befits you and grips you or will you let it get away and slip through.  

You know I learned a fact about airplanes the other day. Now this this

was so surprising see. I was talking to a pilot and he told me that many

of his passengers think planes are dangerous to fly in.   But he said

actually, it is a lot more dangerous for a plane to stay on the ground. I

said what..like how does that sound? He said he said because on the

ground the plane starts to rust, malfunction, and wear much faster than it

ever would if it was in the air.   As I walked away I thought, yeah

makes total sense because planes were built to live in the skies and every

person was built to live out the dream they have inside so it is perhaps

the saddest lost to live a life on the ground without ever taking off.   See

most of us are afraid of the thief, that comes in the night to steal all of

our things but there is a thief in your mind who is after your dreams. His

name is doubt. If you see him call the cops and keep him away from the

kids 'cause he is wanted for murder for he has killed more dreams than

failure ever did. He wears many disguises and like a virus will leave

you blinded, divided, and turn you into a "kinda".   See "kinda" is lethal.

You know what "kinda" is. It's a lot of "kinda" people. You kinda want

a career change, you kinda want to get straight As, you kinda want to

get in shape.   Simple math, no numbers to crunch, if you kinda want

something than you will kinda get the results you want.   What is your

dream? What ignites that spark? You can't kinda want that. You gotta

want it with every part of your whole heart.   Will you struggle? Yeah.

Yeah you will struggle, no way around it. You will fall many times but

who's counting?   Just remember, there's no such thing as a smooth

mountain. If you want to make it to the top, then there are sharp ridges

that must be stepped over.   There will be times you get stressed and

things you get depressed over but let me tell you something, Steven

Spielberg was rejected from film school three times, three times but he

kept going.   The television execs fired Oprah, said she wasn't fit for TV

but she kept going.   Critics told Beyonce that she couldn't sing, she

went through depression but she kept going.   Struggle and criticisms are

prerequisites for greatness. That is the law of this universe and no one

escapes it because pain is life.   When you can choose what type, either

the pain on the road to success or the pain of being haunted with regret.

You want my advice, don't think twice.   We have been given a gift that

we call life so don't blow it. You are not defined by your past instead

you are born anew in each moment so own it now.   Sometimes you

gotta leap and grow your wings on the way down. You better get the shot

off before the clock runs out 'cause ain't no overtime in life, no do

over.   And I know I sound like I'm preaching or speaking with force but

if you don't use your gift then you sell not only yourself but the whole

world short.   So what invention do you have buried in your mind? What

idea? What cure? What skill do you have inside to bring out to this

universe?   Uni meaning one, verse meaning song. You have a part to

play in this song so grab that microphone and be brave. Sing your heart

out on life's stage.   You can not go back and make a brand new

beginning but you can start now and make a brand new ending.
