rise

we need ourselves more than ever. i'm thinking of bread rising and it doesn't really need much except for water and if you really want to force the rise, some yeast. regardless of additive yeast to make it rise, dough itself will rise over time without yeast as long as you take care of it, because there's natural yeasts already within the dough itself. this artificially introduced yeast is just that - artificial. it is real of course, but it isn't naturally occurring. i think most of humanity can take a lesson in this.
i want every one to succeed, but that means different things for different people. of course, if you have a little bit of help from the outside world, you'll get to where you want to, granted you know where it is you're actually going, but it's not nearly as refined as having found that success within yourself.

all you need is yourself - don't let any one fool you. help is nice, help is great but you are all you need. that doesn't mean don't accept help, accept it! just realize that help isn't creating what wasn't there, it was already there, inside of you.
