A Better Life

There is something inside of you that often whispers that “Your life could be better if only…” and that’s where the whisper always fades away. So you search your life, your circumstances, your environment for the answer. You settle for the usuals, more money, more of this or that and you go back to your standard routine.

Without cause or reason the whisper always reappears “Your life could be better if only…”. Sometimes it’s just an annoying reminder that you are missing something and sometimes it prods you to meditate or buy a book or pay for a seminar. After the high and the clarity from the book, meditation and seminar, life settles back into a very familiar pace. 

​​​​​​​You search haphazardly now. You try being “not you” and you get a few answers but the energy it takes to be not you is exhausting.  You look to philosophy and religion and the answers you receive sit like beautiful, unique snowflakes in the palm of your hand and after a while what seemed so rare turns into common drops of water. Days of life pass and there it is again “Your life could be better if only…” and this time maybe a trinket or piece of clothing is bought to soothe the unknowing and the searching is all but over.

One day in the quiet, far from searching, the whisper starts again and this time you surrender and for the first time allow it to finish. “Your life could be better if only… you would spread your wings. You have wings but you don’t use them. Remember always that life is drudgery to the eagle that walks instead of flying. Fly away from that which is toxic. Fly away from self imposed limitations. Fly away from those who would belittle or harm you on any level. You were given wings to fly and talons to protect you. You are whole and complete.”
