Charge your engine. Refuel. Remember your purpose. Your Drive. Your Motivation. Recalibrate. Elevate your resolve. If you are feeling stuck, lost, or aimless. Connect with your core. Connect with what guides you. Or what is greater than you. Music by Phil Strickland

Find your fire.

Feel your fire.

And go directly to source.

Create your source.

Hone your source.

Chisel in the meaning.

If there's none,

Create one.

Fashion one.

Use a placeholder.

Then build from there.

What do you feel in your blood?

In your bones?

What drives you?

Is it money?

Is it love?

Is it helping other people?

Is it personal freedom?

Is it the right to feel fulfilled?

Is it the hunger to be more?

Is it to rival the taunts you receive?

Follow your fire.

You are your fire.

From brains and birth to building to breaking faulty ties busting out that instrument doing whatever is necessary at the bare minimum to put the plan on paper thought on screen voice heard you are your purpose the very definition of the force that drives you is your movement snap the false comfort grow,

Stretch no more stuck stuck is yesterday turn yesterday into last year and last year into a distant memory and the distant memory into the forgettable vibrate feed your energy clean pull from the muse the spirits around nature's hum all you need go solo if you must look to beauty follow your fire are you angry?

Are you fed up?

Is it your turn to shine?

Use whatever fuel you need convert it,

Transmute it embrace that combustible charge like a piston perfect form all within your network simplicity from the known and unknown touch it it surrounds you sit,

Lay down or walk with this notion you are raised with it it fills you your fire is specific to you let it praise you let it incite you let it turn you on let it rile you up hit that bag lift that weight run that mile cook that meal write that verse weave that garment clean that space dust off that book make that phone call plant that tree buy that item wake up early tidy the mess attend the meeting go up in front of that crowd say yes follow your fire if you won't who will?

Don't let it dim for too long don't let it go out that fire is your birthright your identifier your essence are you tired?

Worn out?

Ragged?

Haggard?

Losing morale?

Feeling spent?

Feel it's not worth it?

Feel you're running out of time?

Feel you've ran out of time?

Feel you're too old?

Too inexperienced?

Too far behind?

Too many did it before you did?

How do I compete with genius?

How do I compete with excellence?

How do I compete with the best?

Is it worth it if I can't be the best?

What is the best?

What is your best?

Have you seen your best?

Do you know what that threshold is?

Have you broken it?

Have you surpassed it?

Have you lived up to it?

Have you made that climb?

Have you failed in the process?

Have you dared to fail?

Are you motivated by feedback?

Validation?

Manipulation?

Instigation?

What throttles you?

Has your ego knocked you down?

Deceived you?

Is it really about belief in oneself?

Or results?

Can you produce results?

Do you want legendary?

Do you like getting up after you've been knocked down?

Going right back out there?

An expert shooter focused on the pinpoint what wild game do you hunt for?

Which treasure do you seek?

What valleys have you traversed to search for your endgame?

What pitfalls have you landed in?

Do you even need to know who you are at this point?

Or is your intrepid quest to obtain more important than your persona?

Follow your fire let it burn brightly like a conflagration this smoke will attract attention do you not have a heart that beats loudly a passion that is fierce a fundamental on the maslow chart your breath is fire your breath is wisdom your breath is all your breath knows it sustains you it has birthed you and it will take you out in the end love that breath feel it in your mouth through your cheeks down your throat and in your lungs from your belly to your crown your fire is now not in five minutes now even if you hold it keep it at bay it is shaking that fence priming itself to cut that metal crawl through scramble under climb over that fire is your beauty your primal flame your raw savagery your refined intellect your trailblazing compass and road map institute and implement an organizational system to utilize that fire most efficiently magnetically and magnanimously no playing small be bold be brave be ballistic the obscure will deter you the cryptic the arcane endless hypotheses little snacks for following the trail to nowhere some ethereal promise to be smarter to no end a congratulatory manner patterns and formulas that add very little to the greater fabric of life not the inspirational not the victorious not the heroic but the debatable ego-driven conversations held in small dark rooms suspend the ego silence it impair it you are the fire the prismatic storm that reigns supreme you have to simply recognize it it does not need to be put into words pictures sounds even it's pure awareness that will outlive you that has been there from time immemorial there is nothing to wait for only to take action to create the symbiosis to synergize to ride the wave to be the fulcrum to be the vessel to be the machine to harness that power to make no excuses to not look for answers for verification to sit in your excellence to not second-guess the failures and the wins embrace them to be the wind to be your big why to lead with unmitigated force to never stop even if you slow down even if you are hampered even if you were deceived confused,

Knocked out temporarily blinded filled with grief loss and suffering disbelief and sweltering stress don't you dare back out now don't you dare dispense of the gifts you've been granted don't you dare do that disservice to your gentle generous and giant soul you are the fire you follow the fire you seize the fire you live in the fire you swallow the fire you blow the fire you teach the fire you extend the fire you pass the fire you love the fire you believe in the fire the fire is a contagion it emboldens emblazons and edifies your pupils resonate with it your veins pump it expedites it forward now it hearkens to you follow it only yours from nature to nurture let it burn with pride as well as burn pride let it teach let it do its work

This was awesome! I feel like I’m a living volcano. Mostly warm and filled with calm magma flowing within me but at times I can erupt and it’s very explosive. Now that can be in good ways or destructive, depending on how that energy is channeled. But anyways, this meditation resonates with me on a deep level! Thank you 😊
