Shhhhh....
Listen.
Don't you hear it?
Come on, surely you can....
You just really have to listen....
No, not just with your ears. But with your mind, your heart, and your soul.
Feel it with each pull of oxygen. Release it with each exhale.
There comes a time in life where everything becomes busy work, distracting you from within. We surround ourselves with tasks, noise, and over-analytical jibber jabber in our minds in order to keep us from facing our biggest fear: ourselves.
We measure our achievements through promotions and credit cards, big houses and fast cars. What happens when that has been taken from us? What will you do when you're forced to face yourself once and for all?
The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Of Us.
It's time to set up a meeting with each of them one-on-one.
In this silence, you can ask your demons why they pester you the way they do. What is their history, where are their roots? What fuels the perpetuating cycle of destruction? And what can you do to help put them at ease? Love your enemy. After all, without them you couldn't possibly learn the fulfillment stemming from the acceptance of genuine forgiveness and limitless peace. Forgive the enemy within yourself once and for all.
In this silence, you can ask your angels why they never gave up on you. How did they manage to maintain a healthy balance of love and patience? You can thank them for their empathy, their tirelessness and loyalty. Love your self. After all, without you we wouldn't be able to complete this billion-pieced puzzle, revealing the purpose of our creation.
It's time to shake the hands of each fragment of you. Welcome them with open arms and discipline yourselves to grow. Dismantle each wall you hit, brick by brick, and rebuild them behind you with a better knowledge of yourself.
Within the comfortability of self-acceptance we can learn to love. We can learn to empathize, to forgive, to apologize, to trust.
But the first person you have to change is you. The best thing you can do for anyone around you is understand yourself.
So, once again....
Shhhhh...
Do you hear it?
It's the sound of you.
Beautiful,
imperfect,
elligent,
clumsy,
miraculous,
and messy
You.
