Someone once said something very powerful to me that I have never forgotten. They said that as you get closer to the flame, the larger the shadow you cast. The concept that I took from this comes from my own inner and outer struggle in this world to find the Light.
The idea is that as you mozey along in life you may have some fun times and you may have some struggles. However as you try to hone in on the source of those struggles, to correct the wrongs, and to create a world around you that caters more to your wants; you will find that the problems seem to get bigger and bigger. Your little hill slowly becomes a mountain.
Now looking back at this concept that as you get closer to that flame, your personal light in life, those shadows will only seem to get bigger. However once you become part of the flame, part of the light, you will no longer cast any shadow. You will find that peace, your life will flow in the direction you seek.
I want you all to know that life is going to hit you sometimes. Whether a car literally runs you over, the company you work for goes under, or your significant other tells you that they are leaving... this too shall pass. You have to keep looking forward. You must not lose sight of the flame. Even if it burns you, you must press forward. Going back would only make it all worse.
BECOME THE FLAME!
