We Are Indigo

Today is June 14, 2010. What have you done to let the people in your life know they are loved? What grudge have you let go of from yesterday? What fear will you leave behind today? I’m unsure as to whether or not I should touch upon the fact that I haven’t blogged in exactly four months….. yikes. That’s a long hiatus if I’ve ever seen one. I will give no excuses but will say that my leave of absence was not taken in vain. It has most certainly been a fruitful Spring. My second semester Junior year was one I will not forget and during which made some friends I know I will keep for a long time. What I learned—-> You never know the effect you can have on one person or what they may be going through when you cross paths. No act of kindness goes unnoticed.

In the calm, we are able to look back at the ruins that the storm has left and reflect with a clear mind. We know it will not be the last but we will be better prepared for the ones to come. The storms are inevitable, but the strength we gather from them is up to us. The lessons are there for us to learn, but often times we choose to overlook them. It is the learning that we find so difficult to face.

I tire easily around people who always need to be right. Granted, I’ve had my share of these moments, but doesn’t it get exhausting continuously having to prove your point? If we only concern ourselves with being right, we will find no room for growth. After all, how could it be that we already know everything and so have nowhere to grow?

So, my point is this…

If learning is the difficult part, then humility is the challenge and our ego is the obstacle. Ask yourself, is it better to be right or to be free? I know my answer now.
