“Just because you were born in the desert doesn’t mean you don’t deserve the ocean,” unknown. Sometimes we are born a bit out of our element.  Sometimes we have to find where we are meant to go.  There are places where the sun is always shining yet some people stay rooted in the dark.  Some people live in the dark places but they know the light and they choose to be the light for other people.  The natural state of who we are calls to us from the time we are born.  For those who believe we choose our mission before/when we come here, that is exactly what I’m talking about.  We KNOW.  Some people are fortunate enough to have been born in the exact right circumstance for what they want.  Others need to find their way to it.  We must always remember that even if there is a struggle to become who we are, we must follow that knowing because it is a beacon. 

People can be multiple things—people ARE multiple things.  Some of those things are just more clearly defined than others.  It can be tricky to put together the puzzle pieces because it may not make sense where they fit at first—but if we turn them over and we start seeing the big picture, it all comes into focus.  Sometimes the things we are looking for aren’t right around the corner—we need to venture out and learn by answer the calling of our souls by responding to what feels right.  And we have to remember that no matter what current circumstances never dictate the destination.  Where we are at today is no indicator of where we will be tomorrow—but what we DO today is a good gauge.  Where we are today is not an indicator of worth by any means—it’s a reference point to show us what we need to do to get where we want to go.  The choice is always ours, whether we stay or go, whether we follow through on what we know we have to do or not.  But where we start is not where we end up—so keep going.
