LIFE

As I was walking home from taking my daughter to school this morning I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the day. It was one of those rare instances when you feel alive…really alive. Have you ever had one of those moments?  It’s like a fresh start, it’s a split second of spiritual insight when you realize who you really are, and that the entire earth is yours, and you have power inside of you that you have forgotten about. It’s a moment when nothing else matters but passion; it’s a flash of a long forgotten memory that you are in charge of your life, your destiny, and it will be the sum of what you make it.

In that moment of time, it doesn’t matter the balance of your bank account, or the status of your relationship, or what your schedule is for the rest of the week, or if you feel fat in your jeans, or if you’re having a bad hair day, or who is mad at who, or who said what in their status or tweets…the only thing that catches your breath is the thought of life…LIFE what is it? How did you come about having it, and where will it take you? And all of a sudden, you realize you are really immortal and this “existence on earth” is merely a chapter in your book of life…and that is when you realize you are fearless and invincible.

Its election year and I am sure you are well aware that from here on out our mailboxes will be flooded with propaganda and empty promises from middle aged and beyond career politicians. They have one thing on their agenda and it’s not making our life or anyone else’s   any better. Their agenda is being elected to an office and having a pseudo power. I for one will boycott the entire process. I do not plan on educating myself in their empty promises. I will not vote, instead, I plan on making a difference in others’ lives this election year. I elect to make change where it counts.

What are you passionate about? What brings tears to your eyes when you discuss it? What makes you pound your fist on a table? What cause accelerates your pulse? If there is not one then maybe you should take a step back and examine your life. Because where there is no vision, the people perish. You need vision, you need a dream, you need a place where you are brought to tears because that’s where your treasure is, and where you find your treasure you will find your heart, and where you find your heart is where you will discover who you really are….and once you discover that LIFE will take on a whole new meaning.

The kingdom is in you.
