Unlocked

Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence is the key to unlocking your potential. Simply put, girls and women are the key to unlock sustainable development. They are also at the center of the healthier and more resilient societies we desire. All we need to do now is figure out a way to get them out of the kitchen.

Don’t stay locked up. Shoutout to all the single women that complain about being single but never go out. Just waiting on Mr. Right to break into your house. You know he loves you when he leaves his phone at your house and its unlocked. You know you love him when you don’t search through it.

Inside every human being there are treasures to unlock. Turning 21 is like unlocking a secret level in the game of life. In contrast, turning 2 is like unlocking the ‘random dance party’ feature in a toddler’s programming. Get ready to boogie. Today’s 2 year olds can unlock an iPhone, open and close their favorite apps all by themselves. When I was that age, I was eating dirt.

Unlock your fears, open your mind. Release your anger, expose your strength. The first day of school is the day we unlock the doors of imagination and laughter. Education is the key to unlocking the world. It is the passport to freedom. Tequila on the other hand is the key to unlocking your secret dance floor skills. Free yourself from judgement.

In the course of life I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet. Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Your girlfriend into mine.

I don’t often lose my temper but I often have to use it. The keys that unlock the heart are made from funny materials. A disarming phrase that comes out of the blue. A certain walking step that sends you reeling. The way she hums when she’s alone. Watching my card decline at the grocery store. Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked.

You’re the head of security and your password is ‘password’?
