The Light.

Yesterday I meant to write, but the whole day passed me by. I was too busy learning things. About life and about people.  Some of the self-made hurdles that we as complex beings tend to carry, hinder our greatness. I've noticed a pattern, a very unfortunate one at that. The basis of all the things that we allow to to stop us, is fear. But see that's the thing, everything is scary before you actually do it. Nine times of ten, the cerebral manifestation of said fear is just that, a manifestation. Nothing solid. Nothing concrete. Based off of pessimism. Pissimism that is hidden heavily. Thoroughly buried under the guise of realism that "good things never happen to good people." I'm not going to lie either, I'm a highly flawed individual. When I get lost in the melancholy long enough, I think like that too. Stepping outside myself has made me realize that, that mindset alone is what will keep a good soul trapped. Why bear an unnecessary burden? Good things DO happen to good people, I assure you. It's just that as good people, we have to realize and respect the fact that these good things don't come easy. We have to continue to step in our own light, being kind, true and influential. Refusing to dim ourselves for anyone or thing. Actively  deciding to cut out and ignore who and whatever isn't reflecting the realness and purity we choose to nurture within ourselves. Showing the universe that we have EARNED what we are asking for. Good people must grasp and cling to this concept for dear life. Here's why, if we only fear what we don't understand and all things undone stem from fear, then we are sucessfully letting our on ignorance stop our growth dead in it's tracks. I will say this, impossible to shine when you're stagnant.
