Late at night, right before sleep enlightens itself, I get these epiphanies of sudden thoughts, overflowing, as if life is trying to look me in the eye and give me an inference of the life I’ve lived till that point of time. My brain tells me to hurry, this is important, write this down. Like a full stop at the end of a juicy sentence full of crunchy words that is pleading to be placed.
Life’s struggles teach us humility. But sometimes a much needed life lesson is to get rid of the humility for a bit and give yourself permission to dream, dream BIG. To grab that opportunity with both hands and let yourself believe in achieving it. If you’re modest, introvert, humble, laid back, all of them, you know this is a weird feeling. It feels like running in the winter with frosty wind hitting your face. That's just not who we are! We are - “waiting to pick our turn”, “letting others speak first”, “gladly going through minor discomfort to help someone”, “not raising hand even if we know the answer“ kinda tribe. Getting out and engulfing something for greatness surely isn’t in our nature?! But sometimes you have to keep running in this biting wind in the winter. You gotta let it cut through your face until YOU become the source of heat, the source of fire, the only source of power. When you keep at it, you will feel that sweet spot of radiating heat beginning to blaze inside of you, like hot steam spreading across from within you. And that time you will realize that this crazy winter run is the best run you've ever had. It's the feeling of finding warmth in the depths of coldness. I wonder if our hearts do the same and so we fall in love? Something to think about on another thoughtful night. This experience is how it feels if you let yourself dream. Dream of being eligible for every opportunity. Even the ones you think are too big to fetch. Even the ones that make you feel nanoscopic. The world belongs to the bold and the dreamers. Expand your horizons and you will realize you are capable of far, far greater things than you allowed yourself to think. More often than not, the limits and boundaries we see are the ones we put around our minds ourselves. We conditioned them to be real based on our experiences and now believe them to be true. Destroy this self made enclosure and watch yourself scatter, spread, occupy every space like an orange sunset in the fall. Some feelings can’t be expressed. This thought was a feeling that was trying to be expressed. This is the best way I could. Sometimes words fill the mind and start spilling. The sane thing to do is write them down. And then later you realize you've found hidden gems of wisdom in the disarray of your anxious mind, like diamonds in the rough. 💎
