I want a revelation!"  And honestly, that line hits even harder in 2025. We live in a time where complacency 😴 has taken hold. We’ve stopped questioning, stopped pushing for change, and in many ways, we’ve stopped seeking truth. The fire 🔥 that once fueled movements for justice ⚖️, progress 🚀, and real transformation seems to have dimmed. It’s like we’re all just existing, going through the motions, instead of challenging the systems that hold us back. Where’s the energy ⚡ of the past? The urgency? The demand for something greater? We need both—a  revolution  💥 to shake things up and a  revelation  👁️ to open our eyes to the bigger picture. One without the other leaves us stuck. The Schuyler Sisters had the right idea:  WORK.  💪🏾 The kind of work that sparks c...

  John Coffey’s famous words from The Green Mile — “I’m tired, boss. I’m tired of people being ugly to each other. I’m tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There’s too much of it.” —continue to resonate deeply with many of us today. His exhaustion isn’t just physical—it’s an emotional and spiritual weariness from witnessing the cruelty, pain, and suffering in the world. In 2024, we find ourselves still grappling with the same feeling. With everything from ongoing conflicts, systemic discrimination, polarization, and the way people treat each other both online and offline, it's easy to feel drained. The weight of all this negativity can be overwhelming, leaving us tired not only of our personal struggles but also of the world’s relentless turmoil.
