How many times have we clutched with a death-grip, those pages that
contain the writings of all the painful or not-so-happy events within our
stories, refusing to believe that we can ever find joy, understanding, or
growth from such horrible occurrences? I know for certain that I have been
guilty of this form of legacy sabotage many times over, in some cases filling
my pockets with pages of events that I carried for decades on end. It was not
until I summoned the courage to look towards the far-reaching boarders of
the universe, of which there are none…, that I was able to empty my pockets
of the events of my story and begin to read that message which was the
purpose of my story all along. I began to read not only my story, but to read
between the lines of my story, that wonderful world wherein purpose
lives, I began…to embrace and appreciate the experience!
Once a person moves past the event and steps unconditionally inside the
experience of said event from a place of expectancy and love (not fear) the
story, their story…begins to read as it should; a page-turner…a true classic!
Each of us has been granted one opportunity to write that classic story that
will remain within this world long after we have departed, it is called our
journey, it is called a life. Each of us has been provided the ink in which to
write each word of our own never-ending story, that ink is known as
purpose, it too is known as life.
Take a moment from time-to-time to go back, time travel if you will in the
only direction we can…take time to remember. When we revisit those events
that have come and gone, we no longer have the need to carry them with us,
we then can fill our pockets with the pages of our story that we are creating
right here…within the now. If you, like so many of us do; constantly find
yourself writing and rewriting the same pages, then simply re-member
yourself to those times, only now take advantage of this gift of time travel to
not only read the event over and over, but to read between the lines. Read,
or perhaps write for the very first time…those missing words of forgiveness,of strength, of faith, of purpose. If you must travel back to the events, then
go there with the sole purpose of editing the pages that require a fresh look,
a message of encouragement and growth. Yes, we all have a story that the worlds of today and tomorrow deserve to hear, to read, to learn from; but
those stories will only exist as classics to achieve this outcome if they are
written as such…as classics. Each day there will be new events of every
genre, embrace them and learn from them, or release them and learn from
