Close your eyes and go to a dark place, where you are stranded, there is no one else there. Your intelligence is responsible for your survival and there are only 2 things on your side; fresh air and a tiny river with clear mineral water.
You're sitting on the ground, with your back against a tree, and your eyes are halfway asleep. There is a tingling in your stomach. It's because it's empty. You stand up, to gather your thoughts. Is this a nightmare? You ponder. Your knuckles seem to be rubbing the crust out the corner of your eye. The birds are chirping a melody that is causing the sun to rise. Finally, you reach the river and collapse to your knees. Both hands cup a handful of water and splash your face. Your eyes closes as your face drips. The drips individually dive back into the river. your hands grasp the earth. Enough time passes for the water to still. Your eyes open to see a reflection of yourself in the river.
Why am I here, your lips say.
Suddenly you start seeing a clearer picture of who you are.
Your eyes look deeper and pause.
Slightly you turn your head and squint your eyes confirming this reflection of you. You notice your lips saying something, but its almost in a whisper as if it as a secret being revealed.
YOU ARE GENUINE...
YOU ARE UNIQUE...
Remove the mask you put on every morning, its blocking the sunshine your heart has to give away. Your lips were moving but these words were not your words. A fish enters the comfort of your eyes. It looks like a dragonfly under water, with chameleon fish scales. You squeeze your eyes tight with disbelief and then open them, taking a second stare. You fall in love with the moment with these tiny eyes staring in yours. Gradually, you understand he sees something in you, that you don't see in yourself.
You are at a point in your life where you are in denial and/or you are guilty.
It is a dark place.
Where you are stranded.
Trying to dig yourself out of that hole of denial or out the hole of guilt.
Its been holding its ground as long as you have needed but its time for you to release it from its captivity.
Your intelligence will mend the shattered pieces you need to survive.
You are an undiscovered warrior of the light.
Set yourself free, because freedom allows you the freewill to be exactly who you wanna be and freewill separates you from exactly "who you are" vs "everybody's expectations of who they want you to be."
Find victory in who you really are. Overstanding that it SOME times takes standing alone. Eventually, you will lead the ones that expect you to be someone else on a path that leads them out of that dark place where they are stranded.
REMOVING THE MASK, IS THE GREATEST POWER OF GIVING.
