I think I was 9, maybe 10. I was the girl who watched “The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” everyday after school with my brother. I wanted to be that pink ranger so bad. She was such a badass and in my mind we were basically the same. She was a girl, I was a girl. She was a gymnast, I was a gymnast. She liked pink, I liked pink. She could turn into a ninja with superpowers, I could…. Anyway, I wanted to be that pink ranger, I wanted to save the world. I remember jumping off couches and beating invisible aliens with paper towel rolls. Isn’t it funny the things we remember? In my mind, I knew I couldn’t ACTUALLY be a power ranger, but it didn’t stop me from trying.
I guess it all comes full circle. Our realization that we can’t instantly become exactly what we want to be. But, we can get close, we just have to start somewhere. So, find your starting point. Just remember, that starting point can be anything and anywhere. One small choice can change everything. I want to help people. I always have. And maybe this is a really small step, blogging about my life and my experiences, but if I can make just one person realize that they have more to offer, more opportunity out there for them than they think, well I think I am doing just what I want.
We do not get things by asking for them. We have to work hard to accomplish things. But this makes the reward so much more valuable. We learn to appreciate ourselves, and also, others who help us along the way. After all, this is what life is about. This world is full of opportunity that is waiting to be seized. You only have one life, go be a power ranger!
