You = Light

Stepping out of our comfort zone requires more than we think.   Often the focus is more on overcoming the obstacle than self-exploration.   What do I mean?  Well, it is quite simple.  We are not coming out of our comfort zone because of the obstacle; we are coming out because the desire to know longer be oppressed by the obstacle.  We are coming out because of us; whether it is because we want better or know better. All that matters is that we remain the focal point, NOT THE OBSTACLE.  See, stepping out of our comfort zone serves a stimulate for self-exploration: a journey to discover and explore one’s unrealized spiritual and/or intellectual capacities.   We must be careful because life has a way to confine us to its many constructs.  If not, we can become unattached and unaware.

Unconsciously, I was on a path to an aloof state of being.  I find it difficult to understand how it has become to the oppressed responsibility to inform the oppressor of the oppression.  Additionally, being burdened with the task of explaining its negative effects.  My desire to comply and not “interrupt” things caused me to discover a very dark and dry place.

It wasn't until that moment that I begin to appreciate my voice.  See, the pressures of not being good enough (social construct) has always crippled me from being as confident in my sound as I should.   It's amazing how dark moments force you to shift focus.  In this dark moment, I begin to appreciate my voice.  Singing somehow rescued me and yet taught me at the same time.  

I discovered that it's in the darkest moments of our lives, we realize that we are LIGHT.  Failure to be the light puts us in immediate danger of being consumed by darkness.  Due to recent events, I was forced to find my center, my faith.   It should've never been this hard.   Always remember: Renew your Light, Rekindle the FLAME.
