Do you ever feel like a far more dynamic individual exists within you than you ever have the courage to show the world? There's glimpses of them that sneak out when you're faced with obstacles and are asked to meet them face on. When you're tested, that dynamic individual shows up and conquers the obstacle in front of them in a manner almost magical, then disappears into a realm of existence that's safe and secure. Locked away in that safe space. Hidden from others until that next obstacle presents itself. There's safety in obscurity. Nestled in a little corner of your world surrounded by the familiar, yet dreaming about the fantasy of success you know is sitting there waiting just within reach. The formula is there. You wake up every morning and know it exists. People talk about it. You listen to them and know all about the steps necessary to climb that ladder of life toward becoming your most dynamic self. You see that greater self everyday in the mirror when you wake up. Sometimes you might even poke them by making an attempt at this or that just to show the world a glimpse of that dynamic individual that exists within? There might be a little taste of who you could be already existing in our universe. But instead of allowing them to learn and grow, you decide to sulk away in that cozy corner of obscurity. Every now and then you might peek out into wild world of substance that you know would enlighten your soul and others greater than the universe ever intended. That energy is in you. It's around you. It's in your biosphere. You wake up with the choice to harness that energy into something great every day. What you do with it is solely up to you. Do you listen to the outside stimuli begging you to spread your wings and fly? Or do you cower in fear of the unknown slowly finding comfort in a dreary routine. Life becomes a regular checklist of mediocrity if you let it. There's nothing wrong with being mediocre, but when the gifts in you are ready to blossom into the most glorious version of yourself, why not give them the warmth, love and fuel necessary to become the best version of yourself. The self the universe deserves. I'm not special when I choose to write about all this. I know everyone is fighting this battle. It's in me the same as it's in you. But my gifts are special. Those close to me know that. When you open your heart, mind and soul to an individual and understand their mission in life is greater than most, there is an unwritten responsibility for them to hold themselves accountable for striving toward that mission. Once you know them like that, it's also your responsibility to help foster the tools necessary to tackle that mission. People these days often speak about life being nuanced, or a slight difference in appearance, meaning, tone or sound. It's become a catch phrase that gets them out of something stupid they might have said or done. That excuse they can give the public that allows them to toil away in the depths of mediocrity. Life's not all that nuanced, there's black and white, there's right and wrong. Through a clear lens most human beings can decipher that, yet they often choose to argue for a world of gray. Living in that gray abyss of the unknown. The freedom to explore a world of exuberant color where we walk the universe fully expressed is always the best choice. My advice, choose to be dynamic, choose to step out of obscurity, choose to move with substance in each action you take, choose to bless those around you with positive energy, choose to develop a routine that walks away from mediocrity -- and lastly -- choose to be so fully expressed that your tiny segment of the universe glows with glorious color so bright that nuance is a thing of the past and that gray safe existence ceases to exist. It's in you, it's in me. Shine on.
