For some time, you have been able to predict the outcome, manage your expectations and rely on your experience to find your footing.
Every so often the turbulence that comes in, as it does, knocks the wind right out of your sails. The sails of your self trust, your dreams, and the false security you create within the mundane schedule of your life.
Longing for a routine that has somehow become a crutch for a safety that never holds more depth than the word itself. This routine is intended to give your life peace and calm while simultaneously enclosing you in a day-to-day existence that thrives more on familiarity and reliability than the life you envisioned for yourself.
Perhaps your safety begins and ends with the knowledge that whatever comes up, you will be able to navigate your way through it.
You can trust your own internal map to change directions, make adjustments, and if needed, wipe your slate clean and start anew.
What if, instead of chasing how you thought life would look, you allowed yourself the freedom to explore how you want it to feel. Be open to the shifts that occur when you open up your eyes to notice. Listen for the things that will perk your interest and spark a flame.
However small the light is, protect its glow. Find ways to give it your attention and your energy, even if in small daily increments. Notice the way your distraction is willing to give in to your passions, the way love offers forgiveness in exchange for tenderness. Before you know it, the very thing you ached for is now there at your doorstep. The idea is now reality, and the challenge is now the lesson in perseverance.
If not for challenge, and if not for change, creation would cease.
There is a longing waiting to be acknowledged and a heart wanting you to hear it beat. You are alive and your life is waiting, now is the time.
