Persian poet and philosopher Rumi wrote:
You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust.
You were born with ideals and dreams.
You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.
Remember that you have all that potential and greatness in you right in this moment. You have the capacity to feel passionate, motivated, challenged, inspired and impressed with your abilities. You have the power to feel alive.
It’s easy to forget how powerful you are when you get caught up in your struggles and mistakes. When you start stressing about what’s been or what might be coming and let your thoughts become shackles.
Make the conscious choice not to anchor yourself. Let go of whatever is holding you back and make the choice to fly. The only difference between you and someone who lives out loud is choice.
Where will you soar today?
