Born to Run
There comes a time in all of our lives when elation simply fills your heart.
We’ve all felt that over joyous feeling of an overflowing and lifted heart, an uncontainable mood and a fulfilled soul that strikes you all at once. Over time, it could have happened to you that those kinds of moments have become rarer, I’ve certainly gone through my own dry spells. And who can lay blame after all the traumas the world has suffered in the last few years. Still, and only you can know this, maybe that feeling of lack or emptiness is something that has persisted since before then.
Perhaps the last time you felt that feeling of full alignment, and certainty of your purpose and direction, was in a distant past, almost forgotten.
As we continue to change, grow, fall, rise, fall again, rise again; the world around us seems to change faster than we have time to adapt, moving at a dizzying pace that makes us wonder if we were ever built for it in the first place.
Without an acute awareness of our being, it could be that we find ourselves falling back on what once gave us that feeling only to be met with a sense of… neutrality, perhaps even a kind of hollow emptiness.
This isn’t always a bad thing and may be indicative of one of the many steps you will need to take in a new direction. As we begin to realize that our heart has changed and begun to move toward a new Light and purpose, I would interpret this to mean that there is growth on the horizon.
We were born to run.
We were meant to bound, to leap, and to grow.
We were meant to feel a heart exploding full of joy and of love. It is something we feel when are fully aligned and living in our strength and our present. And, that sometimes means that what originally gave us that feeling… changes.
However, we are here in this moment. The moment exists right now.
The moment exists both in your mind and it exists in eternity. The moment exists within you and within your Divinity, and what are you if not Divine?
What are you if not a miracle that exists right here, right now?
The person we are in this moment is the culmination of all of our moments, leading us to who we are today. Though we are always the same, we are also not, and trusting that change and growth is part of our path.
We were born to run. We were born to make our lives a Grand Adventure. One that was meant just for us.
We were born to chase, and to pursue, and to live a life of joy so pure and fundamental to our humanity that it can’t not be innate to all of us and, dare I say, crucial to the fulfillment of our journeys and our Grand Adventure.
Though our hearts may grow and change, all we truly are is a bunch of atoms. Instead of a chemical alignment, we are in pursuit of an alignment with the “me” that exists in our heart of hearts, whoever that may be.
We are in search of freedom. The freedom to be ourselves and to live free of judgment. The freedom to be accepted for who we are and the freedom to bring our Light and positivity to the world in our own way.
That ever elusive feeling of unparalleled fulfillment and elation sometimes manifests itself as joy and sometimes as something as simple as peace.
Both are valid and, ultimately, belong to two sides of the same coin.
We exist in the moments that define who we are. We exist in the pause between breaths.
We exist in the moments that take our breath away.
In the pause, that gap between moments, is the Sound. It’s a quiet whisper of Truth speaking the Divinity of our soul and our world as we see it.
Do not be afraid.
Even if all you have met lately is neutrality and the Void, all it means is that your heart is growing. Your Light has shined a new path and the world is conspiring in your favour, though you may not yet know it. You need only find your path once more.
Do not be afraid of the blessings. Remember, we were born to run.
You were born to run.
