Pigs can fly. Oh, yes - they can! Fueled by the power of our imaginations, pigs can do anything.If I say "piggy bank", what comes to mind? A cute little round thing with a slot for your loose change? Nay, people!!! That would be all too ordinary.
There's a piggy bank that lives in my imagination: a limitless vessel for our biggest dreams, he grows fatter as time passes, filling with positivity and possibility. And if we believe in him, he can fly (even when full...especially when full). Beyond the ordinary, this highly evolved pig is about positive change. So hold on to your coins, and whatever you do, don't break this bank. Fill him. Fuel him. Grow his wings.
Dare to defy perceptions of what you can do and who you can become. Sometimes people will look at you and say, "You can't do that..." or "You've always been like this, so what makes you think you can be anything different?" Don't let them tell you what you're built for. Only you can do that for yourself. And I know for a fact that you're worth more than a fist full of pennies.
I recently read The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, an article featured on The Guardian, which was shared with me by my brother. A palliative care nurse had researched and recorded the regretful reflections of dying patients. My brother is currently in nursing school himself, pursuing his dreams to provide quality, compassion-driven health care.
Of these top regrets, I was touched by the first: "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
A huge part of my identity that I've neglected in recent years is writing to propel others in re-discovering their own passion, potential, and positive outlook.

Believe with me that pigs can fly.
