Perspective

Celebrate boldy my friends, but tread with humility

I am just as excited as everyone. But ask yourself, are you willing and ready to keep up this excitement until the nomination at the end of August? Its not just the next 24 hours we have to focus on. Remember that. I'm not trying to deflate our inspiration, I'm trying to add perspective. As Barack Obama has been trying to warn us; change is not easy. We must be ready and willing to critically reflect upon ourselves, for we will be the ones who will need to take the torch of inspiration back to our own neighborhoods.

Keep it up. Plan ahead. Lets not stop. We can rest, but this wave of change must grow. Obama made me cry tonight. He is the first person who has been able to articulate how I feel about this country. I fear that in our excitement we will put our faith more in the man than in the message. To fulfill the prophecy that Obama's message, we must work.

So get out there. Work. Inspire
