I had the most amazing realization the other week.
I was driving home from teaching yoga at my school, listening to music, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I stopped. I felt so happy in that moment. Why?
And then it hit me.
I felt important.
I felt that I mattered. That I was making a difference in the world. That I was valued and cared for and I was doing something meaningful. My life has meaning.
What an invigorating feeling.
I have never felt that way. But I have always wanted to. Its been something I’ve prayed about for countless hours, journaling page after page about how I yearn to feel important and passionate about something. God, please give me passion.
And now I have it. WHAT. It is so bonkers how things happen. I’ve realized that when I truly stop overthinking and trust that what is supposed to happen WILL happen, then things happen. Its a bit of a crazy concept.
Fast forward to last weekend. Im driving to yoga, its a brisk fall evening, I’m all bundled up and the heater is blasting. I’m listening to Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys (its a jam). And in that moment, I feel complete and utter bliss.
I am watching the world go by like its a music video for my life and I am the star.
And of course, I’m screaming “This girl is on FIYAAA” at the top of my lungs.
Then in class, the teacher said that who we want to be in the future has to be who we are right now. And then it hit me again. I am doing that. I am the person I’ve always wanted to be right now. Passionate, inspired, loved, important.
And I began to cry. Following my heart has brought me to the place I never thought I could get to. My goal that I never thought I could reach. But I have.
So, my friends, be the girl on fire. Be the person you want to be. Follow your heart and be that person you aspire to be right now.
In order to be that person in the future, you have to be that person today. No one and no thing can get you there but yourself.
Do what you love to do and be who you love to be. Because, let me tell you, there is no better feeling than the feeling of importance.
Go out there and be important.
