Be One With The Fire And The Fire Will Be One With You
Stop fighting it! Yes. YOU. You have so much to offer the world. You are talented. You are worth something. You are here on this Earth for a reason and that reason is bigger than waking up everyday just to pay bills. There is something more crucial at stake. Do you remember when you were a kid and you said what you wanted to be when you grew up? Do you remember how excited you were about that? I'm sure we all can relate in one way or another.
We Stopped Dreaming
Somewhere between our early childhood and our adult life most of us lost that fire and curiosity. Maybe your parents told you to become something you knew you did not want to become. Maybe you got discouraged from following your curiosities. "You won't make it doing that". "Not many people make money doing that". "That job pays a lot more so you should do that instead". Blah blah blah blah...I've heard it all. Let me tell you this. I was severely discouraged by my mother. She too told me that I would not make money producing music. So guess what? I choked. I backed off to go do something else. I did the exact opposite of what my soul was crying out to do. I know she meant well but not working on my music, which is another creative outlet for me, was probably one of the worst decisions I made in my life. Soon I became burned out from doing something else. But guess what I turned to when I was so depressed and contemplating ending my life?
MUSIC.
It was there all along and I had been ignoring it. Shame on me. What energizes me now is writing/sharing my thoughts about things, helping build God's coming Kingdom, spending time with my family, creating music, investing/entrepreneurship, helping people invest in/learn about cryptocurrency, and coming up with/promoting ideas to help liberate people from this world system. These are the things I live my life around and I do everything I can to protect from being distracted by anything other than these things.
We are enslaved by various things with all but so much time or energy to give to our purposes in life. This is the reality for many people and it hurts me to the core to hear this. That is a major problem and I am livid about this. We all have gifts and abilities to showcase. Every single one of us. I mean just imagine if every last person on the planet followed their energy or what they were fired up about. Just think about that for a second. You think we are advanced now but you have no idea.
One With The Fire
Get ready. We are about to take back that which was stolen from us. We are taking back our time. We are taking back our energy. And most of all we are taking back our lives. Live with purpose. Live with fire. Eat fire. Breath fire. Be the fire. Others in this world are depending on you to bring more peace and love with you. Say no to anything that stands in the way of your mission. Your mission may be to provide shoes to people who don't have any. Or it may be to share your creativity with the world as a way to inspire people. It may be helping people with their finances. Whatever your fire is DO THAT. I can tell you first hand that you will be utterly miserable for not following though with the things that you are so excited about.
Being one with the fire means that your are in sync with the things you really enjoy doing. It means you are actively doing those things that energize you. It means embracing yourself and what makes you unique. Remember this. You don't have to only choose one thing either because you can enjoy working on many different things. You have the green-light to be YOU.
Be one with the fire and the fire will be one with you
People will continue to try to impose upon you what they think you should be doing with your life. Many times it is because they are not doing anything to live out their own purpose. You know exactly what gets you excited and you don't need a commercial to tell you that. You KNOW. I KNOW as well and it's exactly why I'm up at 2:01 AM writing this to you because this is just a part of my purpose. Now I want you to dig deep and find yours and if you already know what you enjoy doing then don't wait any longer to follow through with it. Fire is energy and it is contagious. Once you start living and breathing fire people will take notice and the fire will spread. So be on fire and go share some fire with those who need it.
Where's your fire? What moves you? Whatever it is, find it, live it, breathe it.
Dear , humanearl . One famous hero of my favourite book said : when adults want to know something about person they don't ask which way he (she) has , which flowers he (she) likes , what about he (she) dreams or what music he listens.. they ask only who are his parents , how much they earn , which house they have ..
so don't pay attention on people . Dream , creat music , live in this buetiful world enjoying every moments ))
People like u surely make world better ))
I remember when i used to create music with FL Studio 11 / 12 , not sure the version.
I was like half a year learning and making great sounds. Not sure why i stoped, maybe because i wasnt one with the fire, but yeah.
Hope you enjoy what you do, and keep following your own way.
Have a good day @humanearl !
I just saw this post was made 2days ago, but the topic of discussion is one that defines my life, that's why I can't help but to say something.
This issue has killed so many dreams, it has killed so many Albert Einsteins, Bill gates, Martin Luther kings, Bob Marley, Michael Jacksons, etc.
Why?
Because we don't want to hurt our parents.
There are a lot of us out there who have big dreams, who want to do something meaningful with our lives, away from the safe and forgettable… but we’re worried about what our parents will think.
We’re worried about abandoning them. We’re worried about disappointing them. We’re worried that, if we are to trust our guts and follow our hearts, that we may end up being disowned by the very people we owe our lives to.
From their own point-of-view, they are trying to help us to get the discipline necessary to accomplish our deeds as adults, and to forget the “dreams of a teenager.”
We know these, but yet we can't abandon our dreams. It's like fire in our bones. You telling us to leave our dreams, is like telling us to breathe under water. We can't. It's like living, but you feel like you are dead.
As I write this now, goose pimples cover my body at the thought of leaving my dream. I pray God grants us the grace to fight this fight-the fight to truly live, to live our dreams.
I know parents try to do their best but it just sucks. Not all parents give their kids the freedom to explore their gifts and talents. It like their saying "we don't care how talented or gifted you are. Just make money." We are expected to be cogs in a machine and that's it. For me I think about how meaningful my work is all the time. Literally just about everyday. I just want to honor God with my abilities and complete the work he has for me. That is the highest pinnacle of life one can attain. To know him and complete the work he has for us. It's also funny that people say "dreams of a teenager" as if you were encouraged to even pursue those dreams as a teenager anyway. Most of us were not encouraged to do that at all.
It is definitely a topic to continue to discuss and explore especially for me since I have a family. Often times I feel like people are telling me to give up those "teenager dreams" and just make money. I get it though I at least want my family to have shelter and eat even if conditions are not ideal. But at the end of the day the fire burns. It burns for something way more meaningful than just getting the money.
Exactly. To them, it's all about the money. I love the part where you said
'' I just want to honor God with my abilities and complete the work he has for me. ''
That's what life should be all about. It's not about what our parents want, but about what God has destined us for.
Jesus' mother did not want him to die on the cross. To her she was losing her son, but she never knew he was going to come back to her as a saviour.
If only our parents shut their eyes from what they are 'losing' now, and look ahead unto what we will come back to them as, this world will be a better place.
Thanks for this and God bless you so much.
This is so true. There is no better life than to live your dreams. It's not about the money, but about fulfillment. Money does not bring lasting fulfillment. It's only temporary. It's purpose that brings lasting fulfillment.
Please if you don't mind,ill like to tell a life story that depicts what @humanearl has said vividly.
A friend of mine dropped out of school at sixteen. His mother, herself a school teacher, almost killed the chap. She wanted him to follow in the footsteps of her eldest son, who had finished top of his class in high school, aced all four years at a fancy university to secure a prestigious degree, and landed a damn spiffy desk job before his grad hat hit the ground.
Fast forward a decade, and the eldest had abandoned the corporate life. The big paycheck didn’t compensate for all the uninspiring work and mountains of stress. He found himself much happier helping out his uncle laying hardwood floors, prestigious degree be damned.
And by that time, his younger brother (the dropout) had become highly-successful running his own garage, showing remarkable business smarts while turning his passion for everything on four wheels into an auto repair shop. He’s more artist than mechanic.
So one son did everything momma wanted, while the other listened to his gut and went his own way. They both ended up in their happy place, but the eldest needed a big detour to get there. Gotta be careful who you take directions from.'
This is a true life story to encourage those who are following their dreams, to know that they are on the right path, the path of victory.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Everyone's path is different and people need to understand that.
Exactly my point. If the guy who loves to fix cars did not go do what he loves doing, but rather probably followed his parents desire of him being a medical doctor, who will fix people's cars when they get faulty. He probably would cause the loss of so many peoples lives, cause he will handle them like motor parts, and not like a doctor, cause he was nor born to be a doctor.
I really love your stuff. I can't help but to resteem this and follow you, cause your content inspires me to move on in life. I'll love to see it anytime I open my blog.
Thanks and keep being awesome.
Thnks @humanearl for the opportunity to be part of this topic.
In my own case, one of the things that held me back was that we had to 'honor and obey our parents'
I miss interpreted this scripture to mean we had to do whatever our parents asked, whether good or bad.
But I feel my biggest loyalty lies with the world at large, and the potential I have to make it a better place, to reach as many people as possible in my lifetime and leave them better than I found them.
If you want to truly honor your loved ones, go out in the world and live your absolute best and brightest, make the most of that gift your parents gave you. And you have to be okay with the fact that they may always resent you for doing so, and you have to forgive them that resentment.
The alternative is for you to live your life the way your parents expect you to and never reach your dreams. And if you do that, it’s not just you who suffers, but everyone who stands to benefit from the gifts your best self has to offer.
I pray more of post like these will come from @humanearl, so we can be encouraged from time time on this lonely road. All the best.
What you said was a great motivation for all of us in Steemit. We have to be on fire everyday to post a good quality and original contens in Steemit. We are the steemians in fire! Thanks
@humanearl wow!! So,well said! This was a reminder to me knowing i have a calling to bring life to all. I was in such darkness and brought through by grace. Freed from dogmatic religion and its fear bases theology.....I loved this.....Gods Kingdom is advancing and we are apart of the greatest spiritual awakeing manifesting the frequency of love fron within....Our words are power, and fire.....If you get a moment read a couple,of,my first couple post....Blessings,much love😇😇🙏🙏
Thanks brother. I will def check your page out. And God's Kingdom is advancing indeed. It feels unreal and it is humbling to take part in changing people's lives through love.
hey friend @humanearl
I appreciate your post.Great tips as always.good topic in life and
i think,every person purpose should be one.i mean,
"No more internal power struggle;
We come together to overcome the little trouble.
Soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionary,
'Cause I don't want my people to be contrary." - Bob Marley
Love Bob Marley.
oh,really friend i support your comment.. loving for you and love for Bob Marley

@humanearl,
"I did the exact opposite of what my soul was crying out to do."
Yeah friend, I also experienced the same feeling a lot more times and still suffering by it! I never wanted to be an IT guy in my life, but at the end world pushed me into that corner and I was helpless. Now dealing with codes and systems! I love nature, I wanted to do a job related to wildlife!
But at the end my life becomes a wild by that wrong move!
Anyway as you said we have time, I think I can't revert it! But I am trying to manage things as it is! Hope it will work!
This article fired me inside out! I never thought to tell about this to anyone! But here I decided to take my feelings out! Thank you dude!
Cheers~
I really hope you follow what you really want. You can do it! I'm humbled by your words and I am glad that it really helped you. I think you will feel more encouraged once you start moving in the direction of your purpose/interests.
You know, after reading the post of @humanearl and the comment of @theguruasia, I felt I should be a source of encouragement to @theguruasia.
You are not alone. Just like @humanearl said in his post, he followed the wish of his mum, but later traced his ways back to his calling, and now he is living the best life he could ever live, the life he was wired for.
I too derailed when i was growing up. I wanted to be an engineer, but my dad wanted me to be a doctor. After two wasted years, I finally got back to what I loved doing, and I feel like am on top of the stars. Your dream might not fetch you as much money, but there are just certain things money can't buy. Money can't buy the satisfaction you get from following your dreams. It can't buy the joy. It can't buy the impact following your dreams will make on the life of others.
So please my brother,it is never too late. You can still make a u-turn. You must not necessarily leave you job, but you can start by following your dreams after you are back from work, and gradually you'll continue to increase until you go full time.
As long as there is life, there is hope.
All the best, and hope to see you in the land of dream fulfilers.
Yeah very true, i was just reading the while post saw really thoughtful comments and how people are taking this seriously and thought i should contribute to the change of mindsets for the greater good.
No dream is easy to fulfill – otherwise, it is not a dream, but an ordinary task. Dreams stretch your boundaries and tests your limits, and will even lead you to your breaking point every now and then. Through all this, you will emerge with an even stronger character, polished to perfection because of the heavy beating and grinding that you’ve been through
Living out our purpose means we will also be tested. This is a good thing
@humanearl - Inspiration to find the true meaning of the life contains in those few words....
'Where's your fire? What moves you? Whatever it is, find it, live it, breathe it.'
