It all Starts With a Thought

It starts with a thought, a quiet voice that turns into a silent whisper
A gentle words spoken, a conversation sparked
Passion ignited movements of hope, courage, and determination
Movement sentence by a monumental change
Movements, which collectively become part of the great love exchange
It starts with a thought
Your desire to dream your hunger to defy the odds, your feel your fibre and your food
It starts with a thought
But have you ever stopped to ponder to reflect to wonder?
What is about a thought that causes a delicate home to grow into a rippling Thunder? 
By the age of five, 90% of our brain wiring has formed
Our ability to perform, inform, and instigate reform
It’s all wired together, like a bowl of string, wanting and willing us to find the end
What will we do once we find the end?
Well, in all honesty that will depend
Maybe will decide based on what we’ve been taught, maybe will act to avoid being distraught – but ultimately it would depend on a singular thought
I thought to act, to keep the ball intact, I thought to be abstract
Why is this thought so precious?
God gave us thoughts not to harm us, but to bless us
But be wary, we must guard our thoughts
Filter the filth, FILL with fruitfulness, fight for fair 
Our thoughts matter,
Our thoughts have power,
Our thoughts are very foundation of why we care
Lean on truth, lean on understanding, lean on love
Not the superficial love, we see on Valentine’s Day, not a love that ends on a Monday and returns on a Friday, not I love on display, better love that goes all the way, love that doesn’t decay
I love that is boundless, limitless and pure 
Our tribe needs this love
Our community needs this love
Our world needs this love
But most of all we need this love
We need this love to spark a conversation
We need this love to ignite passion
We need this to fuel movements
But it all starts with a thought
