I received news last year that my life as I thought I knew it was a lie. That the woman I called mother did not actually give birth to me. About a month ago a friend of the family tried to explain more about this story but I dismissed it like a case without evidence. What else could I possibly hear, see or find out that might threaten to ruin me? What's done is done. Whatever gets thrown my way now is just going to have to take a number and wait for a turn to affect me that may never come. I have had so many outrageous things happen to me, that as a teenager I used to think I must have been a mass murderer in a past life. I mean how else could I justify the horrifying events that happen to me throughout my life?
Well it is only natural that my thoughts try to get the best of me sometimes. To remind me of the unanswered uncertainties of my life. They threaten my intention with disenchantments of sadness, and isolation. But I have the power to chose another path. We all do. And of course I have something to say about it.
Some people seem to be born like the birds that take flight for the winter. They know instinctually where they're going and which direction they are headed. They even know how they're going to get there and what they will do when they reach that destination.
We weren't all born with the wings of a beautiful bird. And I know that first hand. If you're like me and have felt at times that you were born with your wings clipped, you are not alone. It is never to late to believe in the impossible.
Have faith. Have faith in your own dream, in your direction, your purpose. In order to find our way we must first know ourselves. And knowing ourselves is no easy task. It may very well be the hardest journey that we ever embark upon. But don't fear. It's through knowing ourselves that we will find our way.
The flight will be long and sometimes even tumultuous but the farther we spread our wings, the higher we will soar. Don't second guess your direction. Just keep your head high and believe in your dream. It's our dreams that keep us alive and our instincts that will take us there. Listen to your life. It has a lot to say.
When we find our passion and we follow it with all our might, we become unstoppable. It's when everything in life becomes synchronistic. When everything falls into place you are on your right path. You are a bird who can fly and your wings (broken or not) can take you on the journey of your choice.
A friend recently referenced "the committee". The voices that try so hard to make themselves heard and try to keep us from our goals, our dreams, our destiny. It's at these times that we must have the most faith in ourselves. To make our own Voice the one we listen too. We have to use and trust our inner voice. Our intuition. Our gut. Our instincts.
Move toward all that uplifts and energizes you, move away from that which drains you. Follow your dream no matter what anyone says. Don't give them the power to change your course of action or to second-guess your flight plan.
If you are distracted, and you will be, take a breath. Check where you are. Think of what you can learn from it and move on with that new knowledge. It's a learning process and we have to trust in it. This is how we will grow. By seizing each moment (good or bad) as the ever-present gift.
So, like a bird taking flight for the winter, allow the wings of your angels to guide you to your inner passion. Challenge your "self" to live with purpose. To spread your wings...and soar!
