How do you see yourself? Do you see eyes that shine, unrelenting and strong? Eyes that see real beauty, the beauty of the earth that is raw and untouched, quiet and unsuspecting. Eyes which seem to unlock the secrets buried in this earth, this earth that is flowing forward with steady longing to keep on moving. Eyes that see the rivers, rivers that have a heart beat of their own, a pulse that beats with desire that is ravished with current. Eyes that notice the mountains, giant peaks overlooking it all, vast and fierce. Do you see yourself in these mountains?
Do you see your magnitude? The magnificent influence that you can have with your time on this earth? Do you take the time to remember to find within yourself what it is that you know to be true. The insight and wisdom we have that has been shaped by opening our eyes and taking in what is happening around us.
With our humanity comes moments of weakness. Moments of self doubt and moments of confidences lost. It is during these moments that you must remember that this time, this second, is your life. You have a choice, every minute you have a choice, to be exactly as you imagine yourself to be, or to close your eyes and look away. Look away from what is happening around you, choose to not see what needs to be changed.
Remembering that the moments lost are gone, but bear no influence going forward, help us to have the courage to change our course. We can change paths, change our minds any time we want, even when someone is telling us we can’t. It may take time, with trial, error, and heartbreak at tow, but our moments are waiting.
We have the ability to change the world! Take action when action is needed. Stand up and use our words for fights that need to be fought. Plant our feet in the soil, not moving back even when being pushed. Recognizing that there may be more than one truth to a world that is complex and overwhelming helps us to understand the influence that we actually have.
How do you see yourself?
