Kim Possible © Disney Ron: "Amp down Kim! Someone might think your crushing on Mankie."

Kim runs over to where Josh is standing.
Kim Possible © Disney Josh: "What's this say to you?"
Kim: "Oh, it's... it's a you know. I mean ya, totally..."
Josh: "ah, Your Kim Possible. You were on the news last week. Saved some ambassador or something."
Kim Possible © Disney Kim: "Um-a-ya. I ah..."
Josh: "That was cool."
Kim: "Ya, thanks, Bye!"

Later Kim is walking with Ron.
Kim Possible © Disney Kim: "I can't even form a sentence around Josh. How am going to ask him to Friday's dance?"
Ron: "Ask Mankie? Ah, I don't know Kim. Don't you think he might feel awkward... with us?"

Kim Possible © Disney Kim: "Us!?"

Kim Possible © Disney Ron: "Well we always go together."

Kim Possible © Disney Kim: "Ya, but that's as friends. And this time I was thinking about lining up a... you know..."
Ron: "An enemy?"

Kim Possible © Disney Kim: "A date!"
Ron: "A date. Right, date, like a... dating. Dating and a date. Like kinda, way. Uh hu, I can do the date thing."

Kim Possible © Disney Kim: "Great! So who are you going to ask?"
Ron: "For me to get a date, whom I not going to ask?"

Being centered and Grounded on your own path means that sometimes
it will be a different path than the one your Friends are on.
But having Friends means being accountable and Responsible to the relationship.

Kim has always gone to dances with Ron, as Friends.
But Kim now wants to go with Josh as date.

Kim is re-centering Her Self. Kim is growing
As you grow and mature you will change.
Your relationships will change as well.
Kim takes the Responsibility and explains to Ron that an aspect of Her life has changed.
And consequently an aspect of their relationship has changed as well.
It would not be Honorable, or very nice, for Kim to just not go to the dance with Ron
without some kind of explanation.

To be Responsible to your Self, you must allow your Self to grow.
And growth sometimes means moving on.
Do not hold your Self back with the expectations of others.
But take the Honorable path and take the Responsibility
to let Friends know of your new direction.

Kim also helps Ron fill the void that might be left by them not going to the dance together,
and encourages Ron to find a date.
Helping Friends when a change in your life causes a change in theirs is truly a gift given.
Your Friends count on you as you count on them.

If you shared a part of your Self that is now going in a new direction,
let your Friends share in the change, even if they will not be at your final destination.

Be like Kim, Be Responsible to Your Self and Let Your Self Grow.

The Possible Family, and Ron are helping Nanna Possible move to Florida.
Kim Possible © Disney Ron: "Rufus and I are happy to be here in the Sunshine
State."
Kim: "Only because you've never actually met my Nanna."
Mrs. Dr. Possible: "Kim, Nanna loves you."
Kim: "I know. I know. She's just got this weird over protective thing."
Ron: "Over protective? Kim that's like standard grandmothering procedure."
Kim: But my Nanna has a way of taking it to a truly critical level."
Ron: "Critical? Critical like how?"
Kim Possible © Disney Nanna Possible: "Kimberly Anne Possible! You can't run around with your belly button peeking out like that. This is Florida Dear. Not Las Vegas."
Ron: "Oh. Critical like that."

Kim wears the wool sweater, in the ninety degree Florida heat as long as she can.

Kim: "OK. I'm gonna get a heat rash."

Later...
Kim Possible © Disney Nanna Possible: "Present time Kids... And for you Kimberly Anne some lovely sun-dresses."
Kim: "Nanna; I'm not really a sun-dresser. When I'm on a mission..."
Nanna Possible: "Oh Kimberly Anne. You haven't gotten' through this faze yet?"

Kim Possible © Disney Kim: "Faze?"
Nanna Possible: "Ah, these missions of yours, hip-hopping all over the world on school nights. In those baggy boy's pants."
Kim: "So Not! Just last week I foiled this super freak that tried to flood Canada with a weather machine."
Nanna Possible: "That's nice Dear."
Kim: "Nice???"

The next day Kim is chasing Drakken and Shego.
Kim Possible © Disney Kim: "Gotcha!"
Nanna Possible: "Kimberly Anne..."

Kim Possible © Disney Kim: "Whoa!"
Nanna Possible: "...Stop this whooshing around this instant, before you get hurt!"
Kim: "Eh! You let them get away!"

Kim Possible © Disney Nanna Possible: "I was only making certain that you weren't hurt Dear. I mean, aren't there people who are trained to handle those hooligans? "

Kim Possible © Disney Kim: "Yes. Me! I handle those hooligans all the time. It's what I do."
Nanna Possible: "I know Dear, you're a teen. It's natural to want to rebel."

Kim Possible © Disney Kim: "Ech, I am not rebelling. I'm the opposite of rebelling."
Nanna Possible: "Eh, I'm off to bed. Night Kimberly Anne."
Kim: "Uhh."

Kim knows that Her Nanna loves and cares for Her.
Different experiences, whether they are due to circumstances or simply age differences,
can bring a different set of priorities and a different Focus on what is important in life.

Kim's Nanna worries, maybe overly so, about Kim's safety.
It doesn't mean she is un-knowledgeable about life,
or doesn't understand things, or is trying to put Kim in a box,
it just means she has her own set of priorities that she considers important.
Such as Nanna's 'Focus on concern' for Kim's well-being
over Kim's Focus on saving the world.

Kim in the same way, has Her own set of priorities and Focus.
While Kim tries Her best to explain to Her Nanna that saving the world is important work.
Her Nanna can't accept that Focus.
Each has their different expectations and priorities.

You should maintain your Focus irregardless of the expectations of others.
On the flip side, you shouldn't expect others to live by your expectations.
While it is good to listen to the advice of others,
ultimately you must decide what is best for your Self.
As long as you remain Responsible and maintain Honorable behavior,
only YOU can, decide what is best for you.

And you are ultimately the only one who can take action in order to achieve your goals.
Kim's Focus stays on saving the world.

Kimness Listens to the Advice of Others, but Takes Responsibility for one's Self.

Ron accidentally discovers a secret cave while working as a 'Sunshine Spreader' at the mansion of Mr. er-eh... Timothy North.

Mr. North: "I knew it. You came to infiltrate the Ferret Hole."
Ron: "No no no. It was an accident. And the costume, it just... Hey! You were the Fearless Ferret!."
Mr. North: "Curses. My secret has been revealed."
Ron: "You stalked the night."
Mr. North: "Eh, My eyes were better back then."
Ron: "My eyes are perfect..."
Mr. North: "You talk to much."
Ron: "Come on... I could carry on the legacy of the Fearless Ferret."
Mr. North: "Preposterous. There was only one Fearless Ferret!."
Ron: "Until now. Come on Mr. North, Let me put on the tights. Give me a chance. I frequently play a supporting role in saving the world."
Mr. North: "The Fearless Ferret never plays second fiddle."
Ron: "Well then see, that's perfect. I'm ready to step up!"
Mr. North: "You? A fierce fighter of freakish foes?"
Ron: "Fur Sure!"
Mr. North: "Maybe on a trial basis."
Ron: "Yes!"
Mr. North: "All right then... Tonight I will teach you the Ferrety ways of justice."
Ron: "I'm gonna be a super hero! Oh... Wait till I tell Kim!"
Mr. North: "I repeat, you talk too much. Secret Identity!"

Ron goes on into the night to deter dastardly diabolical deeds.

Later Kim discovers Ron's secret crime fightingidentity and goes to the Ferret Hole.
Kim Possible © Disney Kim: "Nice cave you've got here."
Ron: "Kim! um... It's a hole. The Ferret Hole!"
Kim: "And your doing what exactly."
Ron: "If somebody told you I was just an ordinary sidekick..."
Kim Possible © Disney Mr. North: "What have you done! You know better than to bring strangers to the Ferret Hole. And without your mask, you've compromised your secret identity!"
Ron: "She followed me Mr. N. This is my friend Kim Possible. She's wily!"
Kim Possible © Disney Mr. North: "Wily eah? Sounds like the Ferret Girl. Quickly don this costume!"

Kim: "Uhm... No thanks. I don't get the whole super-hero secret identity thing."

Kim Possible © Disney Ron: "What do you mean? You chase bad guys too."
Kim: "Ya, but my clothes are off the rack."

There are many facets to each one of us.
When we hang out with different groups of friends or "travel in different circles",
there are, at times, a tendency to act one way with one friend and another way with another.
Kim Possible doesn't do that.

The Integration of the different facets of Our Selves makes us more complete.
To act one way under certain circumstances and another way in another set of circumstances, splits us apart undoing the whole.

When you are comfortable with your Self, (just like wearing a soft pair of cargo pants),
you have the freedom to just be your Self, comfortable, complete and whole.
Kim has a wide range of interests and facets to Her life:
Academics, cheerleading, Friends, boys,
Kung Fu Master (sixteen styles), and saving the world.
But Kim isn't one thing and then another time the something else.

Being Grounded and Centered,
Kim integrates all the facets of Her life into one harmonious whole.
One perfect, yet faceted, diamond that is Her Self.

Whether you are a diamond in the rough or a highly polished show piece,
You Are Still A Diamond!
Shine On!

Kim is the whole package! Be Like Kim!
Allow the Light of Kimness to Shine Through All The Facets of Your Self!

Miss Senri Kawaguchi playing drum-cover of "My Love Is A Stapler" by The Cagayake! Girls from the series "K-ON!".

"...My sparkling and shining wishes,
Have mixed in with all the things I worry about.
So! I’ll put my wishes for us together with a stapler.
In the beginning my feelings were light.
Before I knew it, my passion grew.
And somehow the staples can’t go through anymore..."

"...kira kira hikaru negai koto mo,
guchagucha e taru nayami koto mo.
sou da hocchikisu de toji chao.
hajimari dake wa karui nori de.
shiranai uchi ni atsuku natte.
mou hari ga nanda ka toora nai..."
