Some people sit on their butts;
got the dream, yeah, but not the guts.
That’s living for some people,
for some hum-drum people I suppose.~Gypsy Rose
Dormant dreams lay frozen inside waiting to be lit and ignited. All to often, I feel that as we look inward and embrace those dreams, the ice cages begin to melt. Our wings begin to unfurl and slowly lift us up into who we want to be. Sometimes, the people around us get nervous at an impending lift off and try to put us down, tie our dreams up, and lock them back in the cage.
How dare she? If she can fly and follow her dreams, that means that I can too! I am not ready! That feels threatening to me! That makes me more aware that I can do More and stretch myself-I can’t do that! I could fail!
Sometimes, the people around us support us by embracing our dreams as well, melting that ice and helping us move forward faster.
Sometimes, life just explodes around you and that melts, ignites and propels you forward whether you are ready or not. Once you have blown your life to bits and feel alive again after surviving, there is no going back in that self created cage. You know you can survive. You know you can keep flying, steady some days, wobbly the next, but you keep at it because that FIRE inside needs to keep moving, driving you to experience life.
This is where you find your voice, that loud voice that wants to wake people up because, you know from experience, they are sleeping inside. Unfortunately, its not your place to GO and wake people up to their lives. BUT!! You can live yours out loud, cause a ruckus that wakes peoples up because true strength and Happiness is contagious-people want to feel it too!
How can you live out loud today, ignite someone’s inner peace and rock the world? Ready, Set, GO!
