A Wren Says

For some reason, you have lived your life looking outward for your source of energy. Across town, down the street, everywhere. You expected that someone out there would remain connected to you, supplying you with your source of light.

And then the storm came. Then a squirrel nibbled a power line. And then, well you don’t know what happened, but you stopped getting your supply. Cut off from the source, you sit there in the dark, waiting for someone else to start things back up for you. Waiting for someone else to restore power. You don’t know when, maybe it will be minutes. Maybe it will be hours. Maybe it will be never again. But you wait, because that is all you know. You have to look outward, because you surely couldn’t do it all your own.

Have you ever considered going off the grid?

Have you ever considered that perhaps you don’t have to look to anyone else to be your source of energy, your source of light? You could do that for yourself. You could be self-sustaining. You could, pulling from the situations of your life, choose to generate your own life force. In fact, the harder the wind blows, the stronger you become. You could enrich your passions, your zest for life, your self-declared purpose. You could be your own power plant. You could choose to look inward. You could choose to not be shaken. You could be your own power source.

I could be my own power source.

Are you waiting for someone else to give you motivation? Are you waiting for your boss to give you a deadline? Are you seeking out other people’s critical reviews? Are you waiting for your destiny to be fulfilled by someone else? Or are you ready to claim your own power, to trudge, scrape, plow confidently in the direction of your dreams?
