UNITY Partners With The Journey

IN TIMES LIKE THESE: You might need to restart your motivation.
I believe many people have suffered enormously from a lack of motivation during the last two years. Many have no desire to engage in the activity to which they were once so faithful. Maybe you have lost motivation for school, work, church, or any other extracurricular activities. Perhaps you are virtually fatigued from zoom and other video conferencing tools. Maybe being physically confined has mentally strapped you and is eating at your ability to function. Perhaps your will to move forward has pretty much come to a screeching halt. I say to you, “Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Restart Your Engines!”
 
IN TIMES LIKE THESE: You are blessed to have a body that doesn’t stop functioning even in the middle of a crisis. The human vessel your life currently occupies is a divine house that physically displays your greatness. Your life, yes, I’m talking to YOU, is special, unique, and incredible. It needs you to get up, stand up, and get moving again. You are not on this earth to only please yourself, there are special assignments, missions, and purposes for all of us, to complete. Restart your motivation today. Why? Because you must make a difference, inspire someone, and make this world better while you are alive. You have work to do; someone out there needs you, so get up and get started!

MLK Note!
The MLK event is cancelled. The MLK event, which was scheduled to be at Sweetwater Sound on Monday, January 17 has been cancelled due to the increase in numbers of the covid pandemic. Thank you to all who responded. Be watching for the next upcoming event!
Unity Performing Arts will be opening their programs to Vincennes University because the schools they normally work with have limited offerings of the Arts
