This is Telepharaoh Brandon, a You Tuber friend of mine I met at Burning Man 2015, and this is his poem of love, gratitude, brotherliness, connection, caring and so much more.


Inspiration from the desert ! !


The fact that you are lost right now tells you something.
It tells you that your life,
as it has been, is not your life,
as is will be.
It tells you that you are not the kind of person who settles for okay or “sort of good enough.”
The fact that you are lost tells you that you would rather be living in the middle of uncertainty,
then dead- set on something that makes you constantly miserable.
And I’m not sure if you realize how rare that is.
There are so few people who still give a shit about doing something meaningful with their lives.
We need many more people who are just like you,
Lost and reeling ,
yet still pushing themselves to do better.
You are lost because you care that you are lost,
because you know that there is more inside of you then what you are currently offering the world
and that is a brilliant thing to know.
Wildly successful individuals couldn’t have predicted what was in store for them next,
But the one thing that they all had in common was they knew that there was more to them
than what they were doing at the time,
and that is what you have in common with them, as well.
You know that theres a bigger,
better version of yourself to bring to life,
you just haven't gotten there yet. So..
..let’s look at where to go from here..
If your life is lying splintered on the floor,
which pieces would you like to pick up and keep?
Which do you leave?
What do you choose not to recreate now that you have been given the chance to start over?
Because that is exactly the chance that you have right now.
You get to strip your life down to it’s bare bones
and build the whole thing back up from scratch.
It’s not the easiest thing to do,
But it is the best thing.
The most courageous thing,
The most rewarding thing,
and the kind of thing that you only get the opportunity to do through being lost.
So right now,
let yourself be a little bit lost,
Because you do not get found by staying comfortable.
You do not get found by running away.
You don’t get found by fighting your deepest impulses and you definitely do not get found by hiding out.
You get found be doing exactly what it is that you are doing now,
which is diving right into the heart of your life
and fighting like hell for what matters.
Everyone has an option,
The options that we choose determine how and were we will be found. Choose your path and get lost in your pursuit of it If you are never lost,
You will never be found.
And you are the kind of person worth fighting for. !

With peace, Telepharaoh
