"It's just... What? This is our whole life, and you're taking it without permission! This is stealing! You're taking our homes, our schools, our hospitals... It's all we have! And it's on sale? I'm gonna get to the bottom of this. I'm gonna get to the bottom of all of it!"
Barry B. Benson
Bee Movie

The hardest part about growing up, is initially having to grow up. The second hardest part about growing up is wanting to get all the answers right away and expect some sort of return on your investment of knowledge.
As I age, and I am sure most of you age with similar wants and desires, doesn't it feel like we are constantly taken aback by circumstances beyond our control?
I often at times think about how I should handle situations beyond my control. How I should enlist a higher sense of strength and diligence in understanding what are clear expectations and what are unclear expectations.
Are all expectations sometimes unrealistic?
Bee Movie was a great film that not only allowed the view of life and its tolls on everything surrounding circumstance, it allowed the view of ones own predicaments as an attempt to better oneself and look beyond the shell that houses all those insecurities.
We all go through those stages where we are cocky, or down right overly confident. We go through the motions as if we are not swayed or denied anything but the greatest and grandest of accomplishments. When reality strikes and ones soul and essence is stolen away because of inconsistent protocol, do we stop making excuses, or do we continue to make the honey?
Honey to a bee is blood to a human. It is inevitable. Honey to a bee is as prominent as congratulations are due to a rewarding individual.
Taking pride in ones accomplishments is a humbling task. Taking responsibility for ones consequence is equally humbling and can test the pendulum swing of another reality check. One must evoke on life as humble and less arrogant to see that others are just trying to make it work as well. Others are just trying to keep their honey from becoming a commodity. Because, ultimately, honey tastes so much sweeter when you know you have deserved it.
We may not be ever ready for the real world, but, are we ready to keep true to oneself and defy any bout of inconsistencies with humble cohesion?
Bee brilliant. Bee inspiring. Bee true to oneself. If not, buzz off ;-)
