A Life Alive

Life is precious. You have to make a mad grasp of every whiff of it that passes by you. Your life is as valuable as the depth of the knowledge of your calling. What is it? Where can it be found? Where do I start? These are the fundamental questions that freeze you in space. For the challenge lies in a precise exploration of your heart.

In public, you are morbidly ashamed that you have failed to pursue it. For you know all too well that your discovery of that calling is explosive. But you frantically struggle to get started. To take that first step. The fear grips at you like a freezing icicle in the dead of winter. Your focus is how to handle that explosion.

What is it? It is called your purpose, your calling, the reason you breath. That explosion is way out of your comfort zone. It the space within you where magic happens! Where you explore, dream and desire. Where the boy in you digs up worms and fishes tadpoles. The girl twirls around her flowing skirts with a twinkle in your eye. Where you head out to discover without any inhibition.

Where can it be found? Well, in the deep recesses of your heart. Where life beats with reckless abandon. Where life flows incessantly to keep others alive. It is a place of peace with what you have. Lives are attracted to your authenticity. Because you are doing you regardless of all the noise and distraction around you. In your heart lies the reason for which you were created.

Where do I start? Think of that thing that makes your skin crawl with goosebumps. That thing that makes the hairs at the back of your neck crawl to life. It might be what keeps you awake at night. Every time you think of it, your stomach churns in anticipation or fear. As much as it makes you uncomfortable, you secretly want it.

Write down the first word that comes to mind every morning. Then go do it. You will find everything you do wrapping itself around it. As a person thinks, so they are.

Make your life count, for an unexplored life isn’t one worth living.
