Moments... the atomic framework for life's blueprint.

Life is a collage of small decisions.

Every thought, every moment; all ticking toward the final score.

Life is like a giant snowball rolling through snowy lawns of minor choices.

This is a great thing. It means development.

Free will is a tool of great advancement.

Humans could only ever evolve and get better; that was our eventual outcome.

Our social nature as humans has great influence on behaviour.

All it takes is seeing one person do it and then we know we can do it too.

That first person is usually an unintending pioneer, which we all are in little ways.

This is why it's so important to be mindful of our actions.

By the things we do, we give people permission to do likewise.

"I'm nobody's role model." But you're a forerunner, an example; a veritable reference!

People have looked at you and thought, "If he did it then it's fine"

They've heard you respond and said, "I too will answer like that next time"

These decisions are usually subconscious but friend, you paint your world daily.

On your journey through life, you'll come to many crossroads

Impasses of great significances and unmitigated consequences

Here your will is tested; here you solve the riddle.

Here still, like a break in the clouds, your ray dances free

You're handed a solo; a creation to form and handle

Here you're the art and the artist; mediocre or masterpiece?

That will be your choice. Your choice will be your battle

A battle turned into war, the fight to test your mettle.

Easy or hard? Today or tomorrow? Lasting or fleeting?

That will be your battle.
