Out of The Boondocks

I watched an episode of the cartoon show Boondocks on Cartoon Network last night. It was my first time seeing the controversial show although I had read so much about it.

I’m not sure if it was the excitement of the night air or the genius of the writers but I was caught up in this show. At one point, Huey’s teacher offered him complete creative control over the production of his school’s Christmas play. Huey couldn’t believe it at first but when he realized that his teacher was serious, he transformed into a man of business as he set out to make his vision plain with NO inhibitions and no limits.

How powerful this part of the episode was to me!

Imagine if someone walked up to me right now and said, “It’s time to make your vision known to the world. You can spare no expense and do all that is in your heart to do. Go ahead. You have complete control.”

I would first stop, drop and do the doo-doo brown! Ugh! GET IT!

Then I’d cry with happiness and call all of my friends.

Then no one would see me for the next few weeks because I would spend all of my time fine tuning my plans in preparation to carry out my vision. My heart would cry out in joy.

I am ready to step out onto center stage. I have planned and pre-planned and prayed. I will not fail. I will not mess up my chance to show the world what I can do.

All I need is one mic. All I need is one chance. All I need is one moment of clarity as I see the green lights stay solid up and down the avenues.

If your chance came today, would you be ready? If you were offered the opportunity TODAY to accomplish all that is in your heart to accomplish, would you shrink away because you are not prepared or would you go forth full steam ahead armed with the years of knowledge you have acquired in preparation for this very moment.

If you’re not ready, GET READY!

Your time may come sooner than you expect.
