Stagnant

Do you ever feel stuck? Stuck in the moment. Stuck in your head. Stuck in a loop, or cycle of life.

Maybe it feels like a current. Crashing waves that never seem to slow down. The breaths you take are brief, and far in between. Gasping for air. One breath. Maybe two. It’s not enough.

Then, all of a sudden, the storm calms. You’re able to float ashore. Finally easing your way to paradise. On shore, everything thing seems perfect. Full of bliss. Except, you’re stuck. Again. This time, on an island. Alone. Wondering if it’s worth crossing the sea again.

What’s the point?

Either you’ll get sucked into the violent waves, or another island, all alone. BUT. Maybe. Just, MAYBE. You’ll find what you’re looking for. Maybe it starts with finding your inner strength. Inner strength of finding your inner fire, to push through. Yet, still allowing yourself to flow with the winds and the waves.

Navigating through the currents. It’s not easy.

It takes mind control. Soul strength. Lighting the fire within your heart. Nourishing your body with self-care and nutrients.

Same applies to our daily lives.

I struggle with this on a regular basis. The constant, “what’s the point?” “What if this?” or “What if that?” Forever questioning myself. This ends here. I know the strength I have. Why do I second guess myself? No more. It ends here.

As I put this out here to share with the world, my hope is to reach those that resonate and they find their inner strength. And that I find mine, by putting this out into the universe. I’ve got kids. Young kids. There’s no time to be stagnant anymore. That cycle ends here. Whether it’s personal, generational, or habitual patterns.

Our children’s futures depend on us to be better versions of ourselves.
