Life is a constant back-and-forth. We take a breath in and then we breathe out. The same is true for the culture as a whole.

You have tremendous gifts to give; God sent them with you when you came to this earth. And while you might forget them, or doubt they exist, God does not forget and He will show them to you. As soon as your gifts are dedicated to His work, they will blossom. Chains that might have held you back for years will dissolve. And you will feel free. You will learn that your spirit is bigger than your circumstances, as soon as you put your spirit first.

It is your thoughts and your thoughts alone that determine what's possible for you now.

In other words, those who used to bust the status quo have now become the status quo.
