I've been thinking about life and the gravity that surrounds it more and more lately. The ambition which, seemingly supressed, is re-surfacing rapidly. This globe of opportunity and my role in its reality.
Living in a world so focused on points of reality that are designated to faint hearts and narrow minds. Logic so strictly conceived by the fearful. How do you escape? How do you fight the struggle of this financial independence that threatens the wild mind to remain comfortable in being content? Dreams are dreams. The questions are only as difficult as you choose to perceive.
You see, influence is powerful. Whether that influence is a person, a place, or a circumstance. So unavoidable, forced upon us with such great insistency. We don't side step it, we can't duck to miss it, we walk right into it and keep hoping silently that it won't swallow us whole. Inspiration found in the darkest of places is still, at times, not enough to pull us from the hole in which comfort takes the reign over us.
The hole, dug deeper by our attempts to climb out, is significant of the complications which placed us there to begin with. And as that person, or that place, or that circumstance stands so defiantly above us we become smaller, we sink into the reality that hurts us the least.
I can't say that I was never small. In fact, I was tiny. But somehow, by grace and faith in something larger and more powerful than my own determination brought me to this moment, to these nights of inspiration where I feel ambition overpowering me and the idea behind discovery outpouring from the veins which keep me alive.
There's no obstacle in this world that isn't centered around this idea of familiarity. A struggle so fierce that our innate fear of loneliness, were we to attempt an escape, swallows passion and spontaneity.
But one day we wake up from our field of dreams, which in the past have haunted us, and we change our perception of reality. The frame in which our mind integrates loneliness and fear to correlate with incapability is eliminated. For a split second you think of turning back but the light shining ahead is warmer, and full of the possibility only blinded by our past interpretation.
Suddenly, the globe is our world. We live our days driven by the reality that pipe dreams are no longer unattainable. We stop running from our mistakes and start running towards our success. The dreams that seemed so far are now but within an arms reach. Outstretched, our determination allows us to persevere through the pain of that which so violently held us back.
Because we don't see positivity as a thought within a moment, but rather, our strength. We don't see negativity as our enemy but rather, a worthy opponent. Pushing through without a doubt in our, now widespread, imagination that the peak is never reached. Our ability to carry on a life of always learning and experiencing is a drug.
We reach out and every day capture a new discovery within that which surrounds us.
We wait, patiently.
We hope, loudly.
We dream, and yet we never fall asleep.
