Remember that you are mortal

You are a mortal creature. Bound to a single link in the long chain of time, performing your very small role in the here and now.

We all realize where the “here” is. It’s the “now” that we cannot understand. And where there is a void in understanding, the fear of the unknown rushes in, swiftly and relentlessly.

How long do I have? Better not do that! Isn’t that destination very dangerous!?! You know cigarettes will kill you!? I don’t think it’s worth the risk…

You will die. It’s the only thing we all understand that stays constant. Yet amidst that deep understanding, raw fear and insubordination. We do not want to come to grips with our mortality or worse, we decide never to Live at all.

So what to do? Who to turn to? Where to go? What to believe?

The attempt to answer any of these questions will still leave you feeling consumed with the void. For all of those types of questions demand of some external force an answer coming from within. Until your Own Voice beckons or commands, you will thrash, writhe, and wonder with the immaturity of a small child.

Become your own guiding voice. Look within and disregard the external. Answer the Voice that says, “I should!” and silence the shouts that Ring, “You can’t.” It is here that the longing of your soul ascends to the realm it belongs. For your soul was never intended to be bound to chains attached to anything of this Earth.
