You are in control: of your life, your opportunities, your ability to enact change in this world.
Use your creativity, your outside-of-the-box point of view to make something happen today. Stop wishing for change, stop envisioning a better world, stop hoping for a shift of power.
Seize control. Take your ideas to the street and demand to be heard.
If you are a consumer, use consumption to take control. If are a creator, use innovation to overpower the status quo.
If you are listening, talk back.

just wanted to say I’M LISTENING.
Hi, Tara. Just wanted you to know that I listen nearly every day, so I thought I’d take your invitation to talk back! I adore your words and the awesome things you point me to. Thanks!
I’m listening, too! And taking control and diving off the cliff is kind of fun!!
Word!
I’m totally listening. And more importantly, HEARING.
I love your statement:
“You are in control: of your life, your opportunities, your ability to enact change in this world.”
Although there are times I might waiver in this belief, it really is a powerful statement.
If I could go back in time, this is exactly what I’d tell my younger self. Excellent post!
Very serendipitous…I’ve been trying to figure out how I’ve lost control over so much, when – in reality – it was either given up or passed off. Definitely time for a change.
I like your use of the words ‘wishing’ ‘envisioning’ and ‘hoping’. It begins there, but taking action is what will get change going, for the individual and then for the society.
I’m hearing you Tara! I’ve been listening for a while now & love the ‘kick in the pants’ effect your words have on me. Thanks for thinking big & sharing x
Thanks for this Tara; a fantastic sentiment to enter the next moment

I’m listening too! Lately I’ve been more focused on being a conscience consumer and trying to create as much beauty as I can. Thanks for the reminder!
