Drawing Triangles. I used to draw triangles as symbol of growth and life. I used to want it tattooed somewhere on my body as an image of constant change that no one could take away from me. Drawing triangles. Someone once called it (and thank you for that). Change.
The symbol for change in math is represented by a triangle. Once you open your being to challenges and the ever-moving world around you, everything becomes more clear. Let the flow of life feed your soul. The vision of change is laying at your doorstep. This vision, or idea, is not sought after by most, but only the brave who dare to enter into the seemingly unknown. Change is often feared, on a personal level all the way up to a worldly level. Change is not understood. Which I find to be a juxtaposition of life itself. Life IS ever-changing, a constant movement, a learning experience. The beauty is in THAT breakdown people.
Some people say they don't like change, they need everything to be the same, they get used to their old habits and ways. This is a stale way of life. This is hiding from something bigger and BETTER than YOU. This is not allowing growth when the fear is involved. If you do not allow Change in your life, you are sorely missing out on an eye-opening, mindfulness, beautiful way of life. We are creatures of CHANGE. And not just the Change Obama preaches about... RAW CHANGE DOWN TO YOUR CORE. A constant search for a wealth of happiness, something you can feel in your bones. We've all felt it, why not seek to have it all of the time? This happiness will always be changing so as humans, we have to adapt to this and constantly learn to change and better ourselves to stay in stride with this happiness. After all, what is life without pure Joy? Bliss? Happiness? It is something you can feel in your bones when a loved one looks at you, a few chords are strung together on a guitar, or when a child innocently laughs....
People say they can't make a difference. That world is too big and they are too small.
This, is my opinion, is an inadequate view of a situation kicking and screaming for Change. I always take a lot of shit (pardon me, mother) for being the way that I am. Most of my best friends know this. Most of them also know how much I don't care. Because I know that everyday is a gift, every moment is a blessing and I was lucky enough to be born into this world KNOWING that I will Change it for the better. The fear of being different gives way to the courage to make positive change in this world. It takes a strong will and it is no easy task. I sometimes sit and wonder why I have been so blessed with this burden. Or, I used to wonder this.
Everything in my life, down to my core, has changed in the last three weeks, and I no longer look at my soul mission on this earth as a burden. Not that "saving the world" was a burden before, but it is a huge task, one almost incomprehensible for a little girl who felt lost with every waking moment. What to do, what was I being called to do? What was this mass of energy lumped inside me waiting to burst? I now know it as something we humans like to label as Pure love. Love in the form of service. A service to humanity, SERVICE ABOVE SELF. Making positive change with every thought or action. Bettering the human life, one that is not your own.
With this change, I have felt lighter, coming into a state of being I never knew possible. Floating. And UNDERSTANDING all that needs to be understood without speaking. All of the sudden it was there. I had accepted change into my life, a constant flow of energy, and out of it I got more than I could have ever asked for. A clear vision.
I still have the manic states of mind I used to (Don't worry Mase, they're still in there!) but the UNDERSTANDING is key. That is the part of the equation that was missing before. Change comes in the funniest of ways, and it is ALWAYS a good thing to keep at your side. Always growing into the person you want to be, and beyond. Change will allow your love for EVERYTHING to grow. Everything will become clearer, the purpose of life will unfold before you. We impact each other more than we could ever know, I want to make sure that that stays positive. WE can help, WE can make a difference, WE can touch the lives of people who need it most in this world, WE can: Save. the. World. From a clouded vision and a stale way of life.
I Draw Triangles all day...
