Back in 2005 LWA had a speaking tour named the NOBODY tour, prior to our Stop Consuming Campaign, which some of you have heard of. Not many more than nobody were part of the Nobody Tour, but you gotta start somewhere. I still love the name nobody…..
i love the name nobody for in my mind it attempts to take back a truer definition of success than our culture defines as success.
I want to have eyes that laser in at the great in the somebody God created in everybodybut that the world puts in a garbage can and labels as nobody. I hear so many people feel like “nobodies” :
nobody =
is a child who does have one adult that they are crazy important to
is the feeling of one with great spirit -left unheard
is the uncredited woman behind a great man
is the man of greatness left disrespected
is any of great heart and noble means
is one who has great invention yet unvalued
one of great words-yet unread
those who move mountains with prayer
one of great intelligence-without a pedigree
a beautiful woman- in a simple body
and man of great strength -in a small body
one who sacrifices greatly in the shadows -and unseen
the wisdom of the elderly -which we store away in brick boxes
the loser who’s impact- forever remains unvalued
some one with a song to sing- and no stage
the smart nerdy kid-who never pleased parents who wanted him to be athletic
the good girl- who got pregnant and dissapointed everyone
the smart kid-with dyslexia
the high acheiver- who is stuck in a hospital, forever.
the changemaker- who is always told he is wrong
every somebody -before they were defined as somebody
*******welcome to the age of the empowerment of the nobody**********
