It is not easy embarking on our quest to reach our dreams. The idea of claiming our freedom and cutting loose from the strings that dictate and manipulate our lives can seem impossible. The judgments from our social circles can at times cloud our thoughts and create overwhelming feelings of self-doubt. The hardest part of any beginning is deciding to dive into the unknown. Once we have taken that first step to jump and while free falling the only thing that we can hold on to is our faith and our resolution that no matter how hard we land or how broken we might feel.
We will take those pieces and create something new; we will reinvent ourselves. All these decisions, failures, mistakes, and accomplishments create a chain reaction in the universe. It creates an echo that travels through the vastness of other realms, and like a boomerang, it brings back information and confirmation that the silence we sometimes experience is forcing us to take action and to face our fears one way or another.
Now, standing outside the box and looking into my world from the outside. I can see that every experience, every mistake, every broken piece, and shattered dream and all those endless days and nights twisting and turning, wondering if I would ever feel my purpose; those were the forces of the universe pushing me into the unknown so that I could dive into my fears to test my will, to walk in darkness and to find within me the courage to rise above by turning sorrow into the light.
